Block the ability to edit events in JomSocial

vitalik20

I would like to ask for help,
I need to do this:
so that a registered user can create an event,
but after that he/she cannot edit it (only comment).

I tried to do it through permissions - it doesn't work.

Thank you!

vitalik20 Hi

On 'Events' listing page or detailed event page, you should see the settings icon >> click it and Edit settings to edit the event info:

I just tested and it still worked properly.

In case that it doesn't work on your site, you can share the credentials of your site so I can check for you.

Sorry, maybe I didn't describe my request in detail enough:
I would like to DISABLE the ability to edit - so that the registered user will not be able to edit even his event after publication.
Is it possible?

It will require a bit customization in the events layout as there is no option for this feature.

You can backup this file and edit: components\com_community\templates\jomsocial\layouts\events\single.php

At approx line 331, change it to:

<?php if (CFactory::getUser()->authorise('community.eventedit', 'com_community') || CFactory::getUser()->authorise('community.groupeditstate', 'com_community')) { ?>

It works, thank you!
