Additional Field Placement

[Annie Tandy]

I added an additional field called “Region” and would like to move it up in the form, above the date. Is that possible? It needs to be in a more prominent place so it’s selected towards the top.

Thanks,
Annie

Hi Annie,

Thanks for reaching out!

Just to make sure I understand, could you please clarify if you are looking to move the field on the event edit screen or move where the field displays on the front end?

I would recommend starting by taking a look at our themer’s guide, which has some great info on customizing our plugins.

Thanks,

Jennifer

Thanks for your reply. I want to move the field on the event edit screen. It’s an important selection and I don’t want it to be overlooked.

Hi Annie,

So sorry for the delayed response here, it looks like the thread status wasn’t updated when you replied and wasn’t showing up on my end – sorry about that!

You can move the additional fields section by adding the following to the functions.php file of your child theme:


// Move additional fields section to top of event edit screen
function tribe_remove_additional_fields() {
remove_action( 'tribe_events_details_table_bottom', 'Tribe__Events__Pro__Custom_Meta::single_event_meta' );
}
add_action( 'tribe_events_details_table_bottom', 'tribe_remove_additional_fields', 5 );
add_action( 'tribe_events_eventform_top', 'Tribe__Events__Pro__Custom_Meta::single_event_meta' );

If you’d like to highlight the field further, you could add some CSS to change the background/font color, etc (see screenshot):

#event-meta tr:nth-child(2) {
background-color: #cccccc;
}

Apologies again for the delay! Please let me know if that helps or if you have any questions!

Thanks,

Jennifer
