Event Submission – Make Date & Time Required

[Chris]

Hi,
I am following the themer’s guide and the “Required Fields for Events Submission Form” page (https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/required-fields-for-events-submission-form/)

I was able to make the Event Website URL required, but Event Date & Time I cannot. Does anyone know why?

I tried the following. I got the fields from the IDs of the input fields:

add_filter( 'tribe_events_community_required_fields', 'my_community_required_fields', 10, 1 );

function my_community_required_fields( $fields ) {

    if ( ! is_array( $fields ) ) {
        return $fields;
    }

    $fields[] = 'EventURL';
 $fields[] = 'EventStartDate';
 $fields[] = 'EventStartTime';
 $fields[] = 'EventEndTime';
 $fields[] = 'EventEndDate';
    return $fields;
}

Please let me know. Thank you

Hi, Chris.

You can see the fields that are required by default starting at Line 1721 of /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar-community-events/src/Tribe/Main.php:

'post_content',
'post_title',
'EventStartDate',
'EventStartTime',
'EventEndDate',
'EventEndTime',

I tested and these are required even though there’s no red asterisk next to them. However, since the dates and times are auto-filled, it wouldn’t trigger the error message unless the user would remove the defaults.

Please let me know if this answers your question.
