How to disable organizer on submission form and prevent post submit pop-up?

[William Adeimy]

Hi this post is in response to a previous thread – https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/how-to-disable-organizer-details-on-front-end-submission/ where I made the changes that were suggested and nothing happened except that I received a number of emails from user who said they couldn’t submit their events.

Here’s what I need to do:

1) Delete the “organizer details” option on the event submission form.

2) Prevent the dialogue “are you sure you want to do this?” from popping up after they hit submit. After a user hits submit I need the page to go directly to my custom ‘Thank you’ page.

How do I do this? I followed instructions from the previous post and commenting out did nothing and when I deleted the two lines of code posted below it broke the submission form.

<?php tribe_get_template_part( ‘community/modules/organizer’ ); ?>
<?php do_action( ‘tribe_events_community_before_form_submit’ ); ?>

Obviously I made some mistakes and I appreciate your attention with helping me delete or comment out the correct parts of the code so my event submissions will be a bit more seamless for my users.

Thanks!

Hey William, thanks for getting in touch!

Good question. I would approach this in two steps:

1. Un-require the Organizer field. Here’s a snippet you can use to customize the list of required fields in the Community Events submission form. Remove the organizer option and that will de-register it as a required field.
2. Hide the Organizer field group. You can do this with a little CSS in your theme’s style.css file: #tribe-community-events #event_organizer { display: none; }

The pop up dialogue is super strange because that’s not included with the Community Events or The Events Calendar plugins as far as I can tell. By chance, are you using some other plugin or perhaps a snippet that adds that functionality to form submissions? Just want to make sure in advance before digging much deeper into that part of it.

Thanks!
Geoff
