Functionality Request

[gail]

I would like to second a request I saw in October for additional functionality to be added to the Pro extension for Venues; i.e. add the ability to upload a venue logo and also for the organiser info e.g. email and web address fields to be added to the venue data fields as well; ideally without having to enter it twice as we currently have to do with the phone number which must be added to both the venue and organiser fields. I would have seconded this request in the October thread but it’s now closed to new comments. Your response in October said you’d look at implementing as part of the 2.1 release. When is 2.1 expected please? I currently run on WP 3.4.1 because my theme author has not yet released an update for WP 3.5.

Hi Gail, 2.1 is now be 3.0 (due to the significant changes that are being made we thought it more appropriate to adopt a new major version number) and we are hopeful of releasing this sooner rather than later, certainly in the first half of 2013. I can see the issue logged by Rob – our reference #13819 – however as yet it hasn’t been accepted as a new feature. I have added a note that you are also interested in something like this.

What you are describing – adding a logo, showing organizer details – is all possible currently but would require the skills and time necessary to make the appropriate customizations, I’m afraid.

I think a concern I would have is the specific nature of the request – which organizer details should be shown on the venue page, for instance? You might want every organizer for every upcoming event at that location to be listed, for others that could be undesirable. That said, we’ve got it logged and the team will review this in due course 🙂

e.g. email and web address fields to be added to the venue data fields as well; ideally without having to enter it twice as we currently have to do with the phone number which must be added to both the venue and organiser fields.

Just to highlight, that’s because they are separate pieces of data. An individual organizer isn’t tied to a single physical venue and may have his or her own phone number, email address etc. The venue itself is normally fully independent and so has its own phone number and so on.

I do appreciate that you are simply working around that, but I just wanted to explain that this is completely intentional.
