Additional field added (photo credits) should show under image upload

[tbonneville]

Hi – we were able to add an additional field called “Photo Credit” to our ADD/EDIT EVENT form generated by Community Events.

BUT, it’s showing way at the bottom of the form.

#1. Is there an EASY /practical way to move this particular additional field, right under the photo upload field.

#2. In general and if we may say/hope you don’t get offended – your tools are truly FANTASTIC (implemented with many clients/work really well) but your back end is still your weak spot – tend to lack the ease of use (drag/drop, add custom field, re-order) of many other WordPress plugins we use. There is still way too much “manual hacking” to do to customize things, which usually requires to contact you, time on our end to figure it out. I suspect some of it could be built in the interface.

I know it’s easier said than done and you are probably working on it … just wanted to share our thoughts anyway.

Let me know if you have an answer to #1 – Thank you!

Hello and thank you for posting to our forums 🙂

First off, I want to thank you for your in-depth and respectful, constructive criticism in regards to our products. You are correct when you said “you are probably working on it…” – we are always looking for easier methods and procedures to deliver to our users.

With that said, the way you would approach altering the event submission form would be to do a template override using the information outlined in our Themer’s Guide.

I know it’s not the most ideal way of achieving the customizations you seek, but once you’ve done it once or twice, it becomes a fairly simple procedure. One added bonus of doing template overrides (in addition to our extensive Knowledgebase and Technical Docs) is it gives you a chance to really learn the potential of our plugins.

Again, thank you for the input and for choosing PRO – we look forward to “wowing” you with our future releases. Let me know if you have any follow-up questions or comments 🙂
