Additional Fields Title & Checkboxes on Community Events

[Kevin]

Couple of issues with the Additional Fields feature on Community Events.

1. When I add an additional field (Checkboxes) to the Add Community Event, it shows a box with the title ADDITIONAL FIELDS. is there a way I can Change this title? I would image there is so i don’t have multiple boxes all labelled the same.

2. when I add the Checkbox Addition Field, and include multiple items, they all line up in 1 column to the left. How can I create multiple columns instead on one long one and a bunch of empty space?

Here is a screenshot:

Hey Kevin,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

To change the title of those sections, you can follow our Themer’s Guide to copy those particular sections from the form from within the Community plugin into your theme and alter the title there.

For the checkboxes being stacked, you could try adding the following to your theme’s stylesheet to see if it gives you what you’re looking for:

.eventForm #event-meta td div {
float:left;
margin-right:20px;
}

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!

Is it possible to be a bit more specific? I’m not sure where in the Themers Guide to look for this. I found this page and have tried it but when I edit the function.php file with that code (either in the Child Theme or Main theme) the entire website just stops working.

Regarding the checkboxes being stacked. Your solution worked perfectly.

thanks again,

I was able to resolve this. For those looking to the same, I went to wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar-community-events\views\community\modules\custom.php and changed the text ‘Additional Fields’ in the following code:

<h4><?php esc_html_e( 'Additional Fields', 'tribe-events-community' ); ?></h4>

Hey Kevin,

I’m glad you were able to find the needed information! To help out with updates to the plugin though, it’s best to copy your now customized “custom.php” file into your theme at “wp-content/your-theme/tribe-events/community/modules/custom.php”.

This will allow your customizations to persist even after updating the plugin.

Thanks!

Good call! I have just done that and restored the original file. It’s working well! thanks again!

Hey Kevin,

No problem! Happy to help.

I’ll go ahead and close this thread for now. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to open a new thread.

Thanks!
