User-Submitted Content

The Events Addon allows authenticated users to submit their own events through the API.

How Users Can Submit Events

Users with authenticated API access can:

1. Create new events using the API
2. Update their existing events
3. Delete their events

Reviewing and Approving Submissions

Review Process:

1. Navigate to Events in the admin panel
2. Look for events where Approved is unchecked
3. Review all submitted information:
   • Verify accuracy of date and time information
   • Check that location information is correct
   • Ensure content meets your standards
   • Verify images are appropriate
4. Make any necessary edits
5. Check the Approved checkbox
6. Ensure Enabled is checked if you want it visible immediately
7. Save

What Happens:

• Unapproved events are not visible to the public
• Once approved, events become visible (if also enabled)
• Users receive notifications when their submissions are approved or updated
