Advanced custom fields in CE form on front end

[jazzinconcert]

Hi there,

i would like to add advanced custom fields to the CE form in front end.

e.g. a checkbox for confirming the user rights on images/text used in the published event wich is required.
e.g. a checkbox for committing the terms of service wich is required.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks

Howdy, jazzinconcert. Thanks for your question.

If you’re asking about incorporating the Advanced Custom Fields plugin, such in-depth customization help would be outside our scope of support, per our Terms.

However, if you’d like to use our plugin suite’s native functionality, I think you should be able to accomplish what you’re needing:

1. Of course, you’ve already got the Community Events add-on
2. Install and activate the Events Calendar PRO add-on
3. Go to wp-admin Events settings > Additional Fields (read this link for detailed info) and add the fields you’re wanting. They’ll automatically appear on your Community Events front-end form!
4. Reference our Required fields for events submission form KB article to get started with requiring fields.

I hope this info helps you determine which way to proceed is best for you.

I’m looking forward to hearing which way you decided to go!

Hi Cliff here we are again 🙂

thanks for your quick reply.

I already know the solution you are describing.
But there is no way to add check boxes to the custom fields the plugin offers. Or am i wrong?

The required fields customization you offer on your website is known by myself, too. And i know how to do this. Because i modified already.

My question was more to the topic “editing and modify” the custom fields EC offers.

Anyway if this is outside of your scope of support, maybe i find a solution by myself.

But thanks!

…sure it’s possible to add checkboxes….but there is no way to display an action/result to that in the published event…

Hey again 🙂

Here are some screenshots to help:

1) add your desired additional fields via PRO add-on

2) they’ll be displayed on the Community Events front-end form without you having to do anything else

3) the wp-admin view of Additional Fields:

4) The front-end Event Single view:

 

The last piece of the puzzle would be your need to code the “required” part of the field(s) you choose to add.

 

Let me know if there’s still a part of the setup you’re not sure about.
