Add ‘Required’ label to Organizer fields

[Mad Dog]

I made some fields required for the Community Events forms, no problem. Then I needed to add the text “required” to the ‘square bracketed’ ones. I tried the function found in https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/required-label-not-showing-on-venue-and-organizer-fields/ but couldn’t get it to work. So I went into the “module” files. I added the code below to the fields I needed in venue.php with no problem. But when I do this to organizer-fields.php it doesn’t display on the page. I’m making the same changes (adding the code below) in the same spots, but it’s not showing on the page. I even moved organizer.php into the theme folder in case it needed that, but it didn’t help.

<small class="req">(required)</small>

Why aren’t the changes I’m making to organizer-fields.php showing up? It’s in the directory /theme/tribe-events/community/modules which is where it says it should be.

Hi Again,

I can help out here.

I believe it is not working because in 3.11 we released the multiple organizer feature and we missed updating the templates to reflect that change.

This is the template that controls both the Admin and the Community Events Organizer fields:

the-events-calendar\src\admin-views\new-organizer-meta-section.php

It however, can only be edited in the plugin so updates would be lost when updating the plugin.

I am going to write a ticket to clean up the guide for this and have us reintroduce the Community Template so it can be edited.

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks

I can’t believer you’re making me break all the rules by editing the plugin!

I made the change, no problem. Any way to be on a list to be updated when this is fixed so I can do it right?

Thanks.

Glad you were able to make the change.

I put in a ticket yesterday to get this fixed, but I do not have a timeline when it might be included.

We are releasing a new version in the next couple of weeks and that is in final testing so it will not be in that one unfortunately.

However, it could be in the next.

I am going to close this ticket, but if you need anything else related to this topic or another please post a new topic on the forum and we can help you out.

Thanks

Hi there,

I wanted to report back to you on the status of this issue. Your report is tracked in our internal system and a fix is on our to-do list, but we were not able to fit it into our upcoming 3.12 release. Please know that the issue is still very much on our radar and we will be working on it for a future release. We appreciate your patience while we work to improve our plugins. Thank you for using The Events Calendar!

Best,
Leah
and The Events Calendar team

Hey MD,

Just wanted to follow up and let you know that we released version 4.1.1 last night and it included a fix for this issue. Please update to the latest version if you haven’t already and do let us know if you continue to see any issues from there. 🙂

Cheers and thanks for your patience while we worked on this!

Geoff
