Organizer Details – Make required fields without a WordPress account?

[gadgetcoach]

Can we edit the fields organizers complete, to make them required fields?
i.e. we want to collect/verify email, phone etc from organizers, but don’t want to make it a requirement to have a WordPress account, but an anonymous submission leaves it hard to verify event details if needed.

Gadgetcoach,
Unfortunately this isn’t currently possible without some customizations to the template files, along with some custom javascript. If you feel comfortable doing some coding, I can get you started you in the right direction. Just let me know!

Otherwise, I would suggest that you submit this a Feature Request on our UserVoice page for inclusion in a future release of the plugin.

Thanks!

Hi Casey,
If you are happy to provide details of the code, I’d love to see if we can get it working, thanks!

Gadgetcoach,
You should be able to paste this code snippet into your theme’s functions.php file: https://gist.github.com/ckpicker/7600520

You’ll also need to add some custom Javascript that checks the form fields, and here’s a great introduction to form validation with Javascript.

Good luck, and let us know if you have other questions!
