Can I disable the Event Organizer section on all admin screens?

[Michael]

Is it possible to disable or hide the Event Organizer section in the admin menu?

Removing the template tags to prevent any entries from showing on the site is easy enough, and so is hiding the meta boxes on the admin pages for the individual events. But the Event Organizer item still shows in the submenu on the left – I’d like to get rid of it, or – if possible – disable/turn off that whole part of the plugin.

Is there a hook I can use? Set a constant?

Thanks

Hi Michael,

The easiest way to do this is to use something like http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/admin-menu-editor/ or http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/adminimize/ to hide the menu item. Does that help?

Hm, I don’t think I’ll go down that road – a plugin to hide parts of another plugin, that’s too many cooks, at least in this case.

It’s not the end of the world, I can tell my client to disregard that portion, it just would have been cleaner to hide it. I mainly wanted to check if I was missing an obvious way of doing it.

Hey Michael,

I’m glad it’s not the end of the world 🙂 Thanks for your support.

I forgot to say thank you: thank you. And I’ve got two unrelated points, I’ll just leave them here:

1. The subnav (Events, Add New, Event Categories…) doesn’t show on Add New Venue and Add New Organizer screens – you’ve probably noticed that already.

2. A suggestion/feature request: I think the list of saved venues (in admin) should be sorted alphabetically by default – listing the venues by creation date doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.

Cheers,
M.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the feedback. I’ve logged #1 as a bug and we’ll get it fixed in a future release. For #2 you could easily change this by adding something like this to your theme’s functions.php file: https://gist.github.com/3542941 – you’ll just need to change the post_type to “tribe_venues” and change the query arguments.

I hope that helps!

That’s great, thanks. (Are you sure it wouldn’t be the better default for most people?)

Hi Michael,

No, I’m not sure but your the only one I’ve seen ask for this so far and it seems fairly low priority with everything else we’ve got going on. Plus if we changed it there’s likely going to be some people who like it ordered by date instead of by name.
