Cutom Fields Display

[Linda Nkosi]

Hi, I see where custom fields can be created for events, and how they get displayed in the “Other” section.

My question is, do those custom fields added show up in the Submit Events Form (If purchasing the Community Events plugin) and if they do, are there options to not have the fields display on the event itself when it is published?

For example: we would like the option to ask for things, like contact information from the submitter person, it might not be the same as the contact person of who to ask for questions about the event.

Thanks!

Howdy Linda!

I would love to help you with this.

do those custom fields added show up in the Submit Events Form

Yes they do. So customers filling out your form in Community Events will see those fields.

are there options to not have the fields display on the event itself when it is published?

There is no “option” to enable this. However, it would be very easy for anyone knowledgeable in PHP to hide those fields from displaying. We, any other customizable WP plugin, allow you to override to override our templates. You can copy the file from our current template which ouputs the fields into your theme’s folder. Just remove the lines which outputs the custom fields and they will stop appearing on the front end. More detail on creating overrides can be found in our Themer’s Guide.

Does that all make sense? Will that work for you? Please let me know.

Cheers!

Thanks so much for your reply and the info! That’s what i wanted to hear!

Just to clarify, those additional fields (which could display on the published event under “Other” or not depending on if we modify with PHP) will they show up somewhere in the event edit screen so as to be able to view them?

Absolutely. The template you would modify to hide them only applies to the front end public view of the calendar. The edit views available to you and the user who submitted the event will still show the fields.
