[FEATURE] Select from existing event

[amandamartin-dev]

Description

When adding a new event via forms, there should be the ability to select from existing events OR add a new event.

To add yourself to an existing event, there will be a button created next to each future event to add yourself to the event.

Clicking on the button will add to your event list

Great idea 👍 what about a button on the event item itself "add me"

@amandamartin-dev after chatting with Eddie here are my thoughts:

Problem

• User A adds an event
• User B is also attending the same event
• Currently User B would manually add this event to their Profile
• This results in the same event appearing multiple times on the global Events List
• Events are de-duped if they have the same URL, however this does not resolve the problem as users add different event URL when creating it

Solution

• If User B is logged in, display button on event add to profile when viewing User A's event
• This button should duplicate the event to the User B's Profile and redirect them to their manage events page
• The button should not appear on User B's own events (both in my profile events list and global events list)

This issue look really tempting. If it's finalised, can someone please assign this to me ?
