No Drop-down after adding register_post_type ('presenters') to events form

[Roberto]

I used the following discussion https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/custom-dropdown-field-with-links/
to add a new post type called Presenter, but it does not show it as a drop-down like Presenters.

I added this to the function.php file:

register_post_type( ‘presenters’, array(
‘labels’ => array(
‘name’ => ‘Presenters’,
‘singular_name’ => ‘Presenter’,
‘singular_name_lowercase’ => ‘presenter’,
‘plural_name_lowercase’ => ‘presenters’
),
‘public’ => true
));

function tribe_link_instructors_to_events() {
tribe_register_linked_post_type( ‘presenters’, array(
‘singular_name’ => ‘Presenter’,
‘singular_name_lowercase’ => ‘presenter’,
‘allow_multiple’ => true,
‘allow_creation’ => true
) );
}
add_action( ‘init’, ‘tribe_link_instructors_to_events’ );

From the photo upload, you can see that the Organizer field with the ability to choose from already entered organizers.

Second issue is that even if I can only get the text-box, when I go to save it doesn’t keep the data.

Hi Roberto,

Thanks for reaching out!

We have switched to using select2 for the dropdowns and I believe this change is not yet reflected in the documentation. I will try to check with the team what needs to be done to get it working and I’ll get back to you as soon as I have something. I ask for a bit of patience.

Thanks and cheers,
Andras

Ciao Roberto,

I’m sorry for only getting back to you now. We are being hammered in the forums at the moment, and everything takes a bit longer.

I managed to re-look at your code and I think I found the issue. In your code you have single quotes in the array where you don’t need them.

Here is the adjusted code that I tested on my site and it worked. Let me know if this also works for you.

 

register_post_type( 'instructors', array(
'labels' => array(
'name' => 'Instructors',
'singular_name' => 'Instructor',
'singular_name_lowercase' => 'instructor',
'plural_name_lowercase' => 'instructors'
),
'public' => true
));

function tribe_link_instructors_to_events() {
tribe_register_linked_post_type(
'instructors',
array(
singular_name => 'Presenter',
singular_name_lowercase => 'presenter',
allow_multiple => true,
allow_creation => true
)
);
}

add_action( 'init', 'tribe_link_instructors_to_events' );

Cheers,
Andras
