Community Events – Excerpts and additional photos

[Jamie Oastler]

On the admin view for an event I am able to edit the excerpt, although it is shown separate from the event details meta box. I’m also able to have multiple featured image types via a plugin such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/multiple-post-thumbnails/

Neither are visible via the community events add / edit screens. Wondering what you would recommend for a solution towards these? While I could see using the Pro additional fields for storing the excerpt it means having a separate spot to maintain data between back and front-end (and different post types) from the standard excerpt field. I can’t see that working for the photo since there isn’t a photo submission type. I looked through the docs but didn’t notice any hooks that seemed to correlate to adding new fields to the event form.

Thx,
Jamie

idealien,
Sorry to hear you’re having trouble here, but hopefully I can help. Unfortunately adding additional fields isn’t currently supported in the Community Add-on. If this is something you’d like to see in a future release, I would suggest submitting it as an idea on our UserVoice page. Our team periodically reviews the most popular ideas for possible inclusion in a future release of the plugin.

I hope that helps to answer your question, but let me know if I can help further. Thanks! 🙂

Thanks for confirming that this got you sorted. Since it looks like you’re all set, I’m going to mark this thread “Answered” and close it out.

By the way, if you have a minute or two, we would love it if you’d write a few words for us here: http://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/the-events-calendar?filter=5

Thanks in advance. 🙂

Cheers,
