In the first part of this article I wrote about the planning around the conference website. I described the content types and the functionality we want to have. Now I will show you what happens after a speaker submits a talk.
As I wrote in the previous article the submitted talks are stored unpublished in the category “Talks”. The speakers get redirected to a “thank you” page with some information and the administrators get an e-mail informing about the new submission (this function is present in the plugin “Content - Joomla”).
In some months the team will sit together and will decide which talks are going to be part of the conference program. The accepted talks / articles will be published and the corresponding speaker / contact too. The team will inform the speakers and they will be able to edit their contact entry.
When speakers now login into the page they see the following
- Accepted talks: Articles Module showing only the title of the articles in the category talks filtered by current user
- My speaker profile: that is an own module listing the contact(s) associated with the current user. The link leads directly to the contact view which can be edited to add a photo, a description and some additional information.
The edit form for the contact has been simplified with an override similar to the edit form for content (explained in the previous article):
