Adding a Custom Field to Venue section of Event admin form

[Ben]

Is there an action or filter that would allow you to add a venue custom field (Advanced Customer Fields 4.4.10 or standard custom field) to the venue section of the event input/edit form used by the admin console?

Hey Gene,

Thanks for getting in touch with us! Glad to help you once again 🙂

I’ve inspected the code quickly and there’s no super easy way of adding this, but it seems possible to create a template override of the view that renders those fields. Once the fields are in place it should be possible to save them or delete them.

Can you elaborate a bit more and what fields are you looking to include? Also I’m not much familiarized with ACF so let’s stick with just saving the values in regular fields for now.

Please let me know about it and I’ll try to put together a sample code for you to build on top,
Best,
Nico

I want to add a field to capture the email address of each venue. This is very handy since we send monthly reminders to venues to send us their event updates. I am able to add a custom field to the venue form and show it in admin list view using Admin Columns plugin. But I want to make it possible for events coordinator to enter the email when a new venue is created in the new event form.

Thanks for following up Gene!

With this snippet -paste it in your theme’s (or child theme’s) functions.php file- you should be able ton insert html at the end of the venue form:

/* Tribe, insert fields in the new venue form in the add events screen */
function tribe_hijack_venue_fields_template ( $event_id ) {

echo '<table><tr class="linked-post venue">';
echo '<td class="tribe-table-field-label">Label:</td>';
echo '<td>_input_</td>';
echo '</tr></table>';
}

add_action( 'tribe_after_location_details', 'tribe_hijack_venue_fields_template' );


Please let me know if you can make it work from there or still need help,
Best,
Nico
