Override Use New Venue

[SARAH WITIUK]

I have pre-loaded all the venues that my community would ever need. Even down to the rooms within buildings.

However, the Community Events submission form’s “Use New Venue” drop down is causing my users to constantly add duplicate venues.

1) Is there a way to add descriptive text to the Community Events add event form, so I can tell people to choose from the drop down menu, and NOT add a new one?

2) is there a way to override the “Use New Venue” field, replacing it with just a drop down menu and text on the menu like “Choose a Venue”?

Hey,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

You can definitely remove the add new options by following our Themer’s Guide and copying the “venue.php” module from within the “views” folder of the Community Events plugin into your theme and removing those fields altogether.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!

When you say “removing those fields all together” could you please be more specific?

Hey,

Within that “venue.php” file, you’ll find a line that says :

<?php tribe_community_events_venue_select_menu( $event ); ?>

This is the dropdown that will populate with all the predefined venues that you’ve created. After that, within that file, you’ll see all the fields there for creating a new venue. If you don’t want users to have the ability to create a new venue, just leave the dropdown line above and remove all the fields for adding a venue that exist below it.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!
