Custom Fields default setting

[gurban308]

In the admin view of “Add New Event” the Additional Event Fields are all preset by default to (None), they will not appear in the event listing unless you check them.

In the public view of “Submit An Event” (community/add) all of the Event Custom Fields are by default preset to the first entry, when submitted all custom fields are added to the event listing.

How to I change the default to None?

Here is the code within Community – Views – event_meta.php
lines 48-54

?php elseif($customField[‘type’] == ‘dropdown’): ?
select name=”
?php $options = explode( “\n”, $customField[‘values’] ) ?
?php foreach ($options as $option): ?
option value=’ ?php echo esc_attr( $option ) ? ‘ ?php selected( trim( $val ), trim( $option ) ) ? ?php echo esc_html( stripslashes( $option ) ) ?
/option
?php endforeach ?
/select

Is this what needs to be altered?
If so, how to change the code to achieve the desired “None” default value?

Thanks

Could you either give me a login so I can view your Event Submission form, or enable anonymous submissions so I can take a look? Thanks!

Ok, you should be able to paste this code into your theme’s functions.php file: https://gist.github.com/ckpicker/6271748

Let me know if that does the trick! Thanks!

It did work in setting up the “Please select an option”; however, it puts up an alert that you must select an option for all fields. Most events will only qualify for one of the fields, not one from each. Any way to set the default so it is optional, not required?

[Casey]

Sorry about that! I think I misunderstood and assumed you wanted those fields to be required. Here’s the modified code: https://gist.github.com/ckpicker/6271981

Let me know if that’s what you’re looking for. Thanks!

Worked like a charm…..
