Form Customization

[Anthony D’Arco]

I am working on customizing the form, and description is required, how do I make it NOT required. Otherwise I was able to handle all the other customizations.

Thank you,
Anthony

Anthony – I’m sorry but this is currently not possible without significantly modifying the plugin. If this is a feature you’d like to see added to a future release, please let us know on our UserVoice page here: http://tribe.uservoice.com/

Thanks!

I will do that, but I actually NEED this. I am comfortable changing plugin files. just let me know which file I need to be in.

Anthony,
I hear Rob informed you of the new release, so while i can help you now, it’s all going to change when you update later this week. Do you feel comfortable waiting for the new release, at which point I can give you the instructions you’ll need for the new version?

Just let me know. Thanks!

Anthony,
We just released a new version of Community, so go ahead and update your plugins. I’ll reach out to one of our developers to see if what you’re wanting is possible in the new version. Please stand by. Thanks!

Anthony,
These instructions should get you pointed in the right direction to making the description field optional (Warning: this includes making modifications to the plugin, which we don’t recommend. After making these changes, any updates to plugin will overwrite your modifications):

1. You would need to change edit-event.php, line 43, so it doesn’t display an error

2. You would need to hack tribe-community-events.class.php, in the TribeCommunityEvents::doEventForm() function. Remove the “!empty( $_POST[ ‘post_content’ ] )” from the if clause it checks before saving the event

3. Later in the same function, remove the “empty( $_POST[ ‘post_content’ ] )” in the if clause around the error messages

Hope that helps. Good luck!

[Anthony D’Arco]

Worked perfectly!

Thank you,
Anthony

Awesome! Since it sound like this got you sorted, I’m going to mark this thread “Answered” and close it out.

We really appreciate your support and please let us know if you need anything else in the future. If you find yourself with a few minutes and would be so kind as to give us a “Works” rating or a positive star voting on the WordPress.org repo (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/the-events-calendar/), or even a shoutout to your followers on Facebook or Twitter, it would mean a lot to us. Thanks again for using the plugin.
