How to show Category descriptions in Community Events form

[newmusicworld]

Hello, I have been trying to figure out how to show the category descriptions in the Community Events form but to no avail. Is there an additional variable that I can pass to the formCategoryDropdown() function in the hooks/form.php file? Or something like that?

Thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately, this isn’t possible without modifying the plugin, which we don’t recommend because your changes will get overwritten next time you update the plugin.

However, as a workaround, you can insert some text above the descriptions using the ‘tribe_events_community_form_before_the_categories’ filter.

Paste the following code into your theme’s functions.php to see how this would work: https://gist.github.com/ckpicker/6346502

Let me know if you have any questions about adding that code. Thanks!

Thanks Casey, that will do for now. I have a related question, is it possible to reorder the categories? It looks like it is set to alphabetical order by default, with no way to change it.

Unfortunately that’s not currently possible. Feel free to submit this as a feature request on our uservoice page though: http://tribe.uservoice.com/

Thanks!
