Customising Community Event Submission Form

[Stephan]

Hi guys,

unfortunateley my skills in editing php are very weak….perhaps you can help me….

I purchased the “Community Events Plugin” and i am very happy with it.

I need some little changes, but i dont´t know how?!

1.) The submission form needs a headline…where can i add one?

2.) I would like to increase the space for the event description as standard

3.) Optional!!! I woudl like to add a checkbox for users saying: I confirm that i will not upload any copyright-protected data….( or similar) Is that possible?

4.) My users all live in Germany…. how can i disable the “Choose country”-feature?

5.) Where can i place some helpfull instructions for my visitors gelping them to fill out the form?

Many questions, I hope you have some (easy to understand) answers for me.

Cheers and Thank you

Stephan

Hey Stephan,

Thanks for reaching out to us! I apologize for the delay. We take the weekends off from support so I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

I’ll try to give the simplest approaches and get you pointed in the right direction for some of these customizations however for the majority, it will require accessing some files via FTP and modifying PHP files.

1. By default, there should be a “Submit an Event” title that is automatically added to the event submission page. It looks like that is missing from your site and is most likely due to a theme setting or theme conflict. As a workaround, you could follow this tutorial to add content above the submission form and create your own title.
2. This can be accomplished with a little CSS modification. The following can be added to your theme’s “style.css” file. You can change the number of pixels I’ve added to fit your needs.

   
   #tribe-community-events .events-community-post-content textarea {
   min-height: 125px;
   }
   

3. This can be added with custom coding, however the simplest approach would be to use the Events Calendar Pro plugin and take advantage of the custom fields available with that plugin.
4. Events > Settings > Default Content > Default country Field
5. You can follow the same link from #1 above to add instructions that display before the submission form.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!

Hi Josh,

thanks for your kind reply!

1.) I followed the tutorial and added the html-code. The text appears but breaks the structure of the rest of the page. Giant margins, strange fonts, text out of screen….

2.) That worked – Thank you!

3.)OK, maybe i should give pro a try

4.) I don´t have this menu entry: Events > Settings > Default Content > Default country Field
There are only: General/Appearance/Community/Licences/Help ??

5.) Same problem as 1.)

I´m using a plugin called Quickadsense. It creates two google-adsense codes on every post. Unfortunately it interprets …/events/community/add/ as a oost.
The plugin got a deactivate-ads-function with a shortcode… where could i paste this code here?

Thank you for your patience 🙂

Cheers
Stephan

Hey Stephan,

Thanks for following up with us! I’m glad some of the answers were resolved for you. Let’s see if we can get these other pulled together for you.

1. (and 5) Can you share the snippet of the code you’re adding to the section? There may be a syntax issue in the added content.

4. I apologize, it looks like this is also a feature of the PRO plugin.

For the adsense code. You could add:

<?php echo do_shortcode( '[]' ); ?>

to the same code you’re using for 1 & 5 to get that shortcode added to the page in order to remove the adsense information.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!
