Community events form shortcodes

[Richard Bleakley]

Hi, just bought the community events plugin but I suspect it’s not going to meet my needs. Are there shortcodes to embed the form? I need it to be visible along with the calendar.

Also, I need a way to prevent overlapping events to avoid double booking. Is that possible?

Hi Richard,

Thanks so much for reaching out!

Unfortunately, there aren’t any shortcodes available to add to the Community Events submission form.  However, if you are looking to customize the form, that is something that is definitely possible.

You can add Additional Fields to your form by going to Events Settings < Additional Fields.

You can also copy and edit the submission template itself.

I’d recommend starting off by taking a look at our Themer’s Guide, which can show you which templates can be edited and copied in order to achieve the results that you are looking for.

I believe the template that you’re looking for is located at /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar-community-events/src/views/community/edit-event.php

As for your overlapping events, are you referring to preventing users from adding events when an event has already been added at that time?

Unfortunately, that isn’t a functionality that we currently have available.  You can have event statuses set to Draft, so that you can review them before publishing in order to prevent that.

You can also add this idea to our Feature Requests, as we tend to implement ideas based on customer feedback, so your input is greatly appreciated:

Let me know if you have any other questions on this topic!

 

Thanks,

Hi, sorry it doesn’t look like it’s the right plugin for this job – can I
get a refund?

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics.
