Modifying event submission page elements

[martyp23]

Hi, I’d like to add some text to the event submission page. I’ve tried some of the solutions previously suggested in the forum with no success. Then I tried to follow directions given in the Themers Guide, but couldn’t even locate a file named ‘form.php’ in my community views folder. Thanks for any help.

Marty,
In order to customize the event submission form, you’ll need to perform a template override of any of the Community Events views that you wish to change. Here’s how to do this:

1) Just create the following new directory structure in your theme directory: ‘/tribe-events/community’

2) After doing that, go to ‘wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar-community-events/views/community/’ and copy over all files to the new directory you created in Step 1.

This should allow you to modify any of the Community View files and still keep your changes when there’s an update to the plugin.

Hope that helps, but let me know if you have further questions. Thanks!

Something I found out that may help with future troubleshooting… I was making the modifications to the files and saving them in with other files in my child theme directory. Everything worked fine when placed in the original theme directory. So,… apparently it’s a no-work to save in child folder.
Cheers for all that.

Thanks for confirming that this got you sorted. Since it sounds like you’re all set here, I’m going to mark this thread “Answered” and close it out.

By the way, if you have a minute or two, we would love it if you’d write a few words for us here: http://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/the-events-calendar?filter=5

Thanks in advance. 🙂

Cheers,
Casey
