Organizer Additional Fields

[Werner Brandt]

I referred to the article to add custom fields to the Organizers https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/additional-fields-for-venues-and-organizers/, which works in a manner, but once custom fields are added, for example City, State, Zip. the field containers do not show up when adding additional new organizers. Maybe this is a request for a new feature, but it would be great to have custom fields work similar to the events table.

Hey Werner,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

When adding those snippets, the fields should be visible on the Organizers edit pages when creating or editing the organizers within your WordPress dashboard. Are they not showing there for you?

I also notice that you’re using the Community Events plugin. Is your request here in reference to adding Organizers on the front-end of the site via the Community Events form?

Thanks!

[Werner Brandt]

Thanks for the response. When I added the fields (city, state, postal code, country) for a new organizer, the fields show up (Screen1) when I edit that particular organizer, but when I add or edit another organizer, the custom fields are missing (Screen2).

Right now I am trying to get this to work at the backend, but I also have community events plugin, so working in the front end is also important.

Also for some reason category-stick-post shows up.

One more thing. Using phpmyadmin, where are TEC PRO tables located?

Hey Werner,

Ah! I see what you’re saying here. It looks like you’re using the built-in WordPress Custom Fields section there which allows you to create key => value pairs of information to be stored for specific posts. That isn’t related to the Additional Fields feature available within our Pro plugin and what is modified in the knowledgebase item you originally linked to.

Here is more information on using the Additional Fields feature https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/pro-additional-fields/.

Finally, the event content and information is stored within the wp_posts as a “tribe_events” post type and with the meta in the wp_postmeta table.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!

I think you lost me here. I am trying to add a few additional fields for the organizers. I added the snippets of code as recommended and was able to add data for one organizer, but then when I go to a new organizer should I not see the fields I defined and be able to assign values? What I am missing here.

I am using community events, and can those fields be added from the front end?

Hey Werner,

I’m terribly sorry for the confusion there! I confused myself looking at the title of that first knowledgebase item you linked to and assumed it was in reference to the Additional Fields feature of the Pro plugin. However, looking at the snippets, those are for the WordPress custom fields and is exactly what you’re using and showing in your screenshots. Ignore everything I just said in the previous post 🙂

The custom fields box in WordPress allows you to add additional information to the Organizer and assign it to a particular key for accessing it on the front-end of the site. However, it doesn’t necessarily create it as an options template that gets set for all organizers.

If you’re looking to create a metabox of set information for each organizer where every time you add or modify an organizer you see the same fields that need to be filled out, I would recommend using a plugin such as Advanced Custom Fields

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!

Okay, I think I understand. The Additional Fields of the PRO plugin are only for adding fields to a specific venue or organizer. Therefore I need the Advanaced Custom Fields to add to the Organizer post type if I want fields (ie. City, State, Zip) to appear for every new organizer I add. I am able to do this, but I also need to efields to show up when adding a new event on the backend as well as through community events plugin, can you point me in the right direction.
Thanks again for your assistance,
Werner

One more request. Now that I have added the city, state, zip fields to the organizer DB, is there a way to modify the import settings to include the custom fields. This along with being able to add the fields when adding an event (backend or through the community events plugin) would make my day.

Hey Werner,

Thanks for following up here!

Unfortunately the solutions that we have currently wouldn’t exactly work for what you’re trying to accomplish here. You can vote for this particular feature on our UserVoice page. I’ve gone ahead and created a new request for this one that you can add your votes to. I will also bring this one up with our team directly this week.

Thanks!

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
