Add new "Additional Field" and move it up

[Lars]

Hi,

How do we move a new added “Additional Field” to the top?

Hi Lars, it’s been a while — hope you’re doing well!

Where exactly are you trying to move the additional field. On the single event post or some other screen?

Typically, moving fields around on the front end means using a template override, which I know you’re well familiar with. For example, if you’d like the additional fields in the meta detail area of the single event to be in a specific order, then you would remove the code block that inserts the additional fields automatically and manually call the fields in the order you’d like them to appear. For example:

$additional_fields = tribe_get_custom_fields();
echo $additional_fields['Community Field'];

Will this help you get started? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

Hi,

It should we placed at the top of the “Organizer / Signup” coloumn her.

We wouldn’t know how to do that. Why can’t we just drag the Addtional Fields up/down in Settings to make them appear in the order we which?

It’s been almost 2 years since we last worked with TBA and honestly we cannot see any UX improvements at all. Utterly disappointing and still incredible difficult to work with.

Hi Lars,

Thanks for following up!

You’ll want to override the following files:

• /wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/src/views/pro/modules/meta/additional-fields.php
• /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/views/modules/meta/organizer.php

The idea is to take to the code out from the first template for displaying your custom fields and place them in the second template instead.

It’s been almost 2 years since we last worked with TBA and honestly we cannot see any UX improvements at all.

Are there specific things you’ve been hoping for? If so, have you shared them in our feature request forum? We’ve released many updates to the plugins in the past two years and improve the user experience in visible and behind-the-scenes ways — but if you have additional feedback or a wish list of ideas, we’d be happy to review them in the feature request forum.

Cheers!
Geoff
