Add Speaker in event submit form

[Math]

Hi

I’m not sure if you’ve noticed that there’s no “Add Speaker field” on the submit event form. There’s only choose speaker, which doesn’t really make sense for a new new site with no speaker database. I’ll like my organisers to be able add the speakers themselves as i don’t have a list of all the speakers in my country.

Hi again, Math. Thanks for the screenshot.

I don’t know what a “speaker” is on your site. By default, we have Events, Organizers, and Venues. By “speaker” are you referring to Organizers (the custom post type, not the users of your Community Events form)?

Hi Cliff,

I also have speaker as default (refer to screenshot) or is it from my theme? I’ll think speaker means a speaker at a seminar or conference.

[Cliff]

Speaker is not a default from our plugin. It’s possible your theme — if it has integration with our plugin — renamed one of our defaults. Could you please provide me some URLs to investigate this further (such as a link to your CE form and an event with a Speaker assigned to it)?

Hi Cliff,

I Just had a chat with the theme developers, they say the Speaker field is from the events calendar.

Here’s a screenshot of the 2nd link you provided: https://cl.ly/0V1y0o2T0L44

The 3 things I drew a box around look familiar to me for the meta section of our standard Single Event Pages.

Speakers is not something from any of our plugins. You can search our free/core plugin’s code and there’s no mention of “speaker” anywhere.

Whether it’s your theme or another plugin or whatever method some “speaker” functionality is being added to your site — not by our plugins — that theme/plugin or you will need to figure out how to add it to your Community Events form if you want it there.

These references may be helpful but don’t actually answer your question:

• Required fields for events submission form
• PRO’s Additional Fields
• Our documentation and list of known customizers you could hire

Hi cliff

This is strange because the theme developers say this is from the events calendar, please see below their response to my query;
I don’t have any plugin that can add that kind of field. I’m confused.

Please provide me a download to the installable theme .zip in a Private Reply.

I installed the theme and noticed:

• the theme adds this meta box to the Events edit screen in wp-admin
• line 54 of /wp-content/themes/noo-ivent/includes/post_type_for_metabox/event-metabox.php is where the meta box gets added
• The tribe_events post type actually gets registered by the Noo iVent Library plugin they recommend you install — registered at line 68 of /wp-content/plugins/noo-ivent-library/admin/post-type/noo-speaker.php

Also, just some typos in the theme’s code to pass along to the theme developers:

• they spelled “schedule” as “shedule”
• they spelled “speaker” as “spearker”

So, finally, you’ll need to finish discussing this with your theme’s support.

Thank you Cliff

10 stars for your support.

You’re welcome. I hope you get it sorted out.
