CUNY Academic Commons

I started looking through bp-event-organiser to find something that changes event privacy based on group connections, but I didn't see anything obvious. Ray, do you recall what we do here?

I think the issue here is a confusion between the event functionality on the group site vs the group itself.

1. This event -- https://hunterhumbio.commons.gc.cuny.edu/events/explore-healthcare-careers-workshop-10-1-virtual/ -- is created on the Hunter site. The Hunter site is using the Events Manager plugin for their events functionality. Events created through this plugin are different from the group events functionality we custom built for the Commons.

It also looks like Events Manager has its own BuddyPress integration. It looks like three events created on the Hunter site has the "Hunter Human Biology CIE" group connected to them:
- https://hunterhumbio.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-admin/post.php?post=3614&action=edit
- https://hunterhumbio.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-admin/post.php?post=3626&action=edit
- https://hunterhumbio.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-admin/post.php?post=3629&action=edit

In this case, the Event Manager plugin sets the event to Private because the "Hunter Human Biology CIE" group is hidden: https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/blob/93e76533f9cb83fceb661645cd678a59209692ca/wp-content/plugins/events-manager/buddypress/bp-em-groups.php#L15-L26

For the Hunter site, I would recommend not connecting a group to the event.

2. Now for the group itself, to post in the group calendar, navigate to the group's events page -- https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/hunter-human-biology-cie/ -- and click on the 'New Event' button. Since this group is hidden, the event will not be public on the main Commons Events page. However, if a public group is connected to the event, the event will become public.

I'm guessing the Hunter site is using the Events Manager plugin because they want to better manage the display and organizing of events on the site itself.

Great! Going to close this one.
