Private Events + ticket management

[Malcolm]

Hi Guys!
Soon to start pitching my new site… before launching can you help? Sorry for all the requests.

1) When password protecting an event it still shows everything part from event text! Dates times tickets etc! How can I make a page totally private? Could this be added to an event frontend submission form?

2) Could you provide a snippet of code to create a community add event form that removes ability to sell tickets? (for my basic membership level?)

3) What happens to tickets both sold and unsold once an event has passed within woo-commerce?

4) Can you change the colour of the search bar from the standard grey to white?

Thanks so much for your help!

Hi Malcom,

Thanks for reaching out! Let me try to answer all your questions one-by-one.

1) When password protecting an event it still shows everything part from event text! Dates times tickets etc! How can I make a page totally private? Could this be added to an event frontend submission form?

At the moment this is only doable with customization, for which we have very limited support. If you think that is something you would like as a feature I encourage you to visit our User Voice Page and either upvote an existing request or make a new request there.

 

2) Could you provide a snippet of code to create a community add event form that removes ability to sell tickets? (for my basic membership level?)

It is possible that you could modify the template following our themer’s guide, but it would take knowledge in php, css, and html to do it. I am able to answer some questions to help you get started on a customization, but for the most part that is beyond the support we can provide.

 

3) What happens to tickets both sold and unsold once an event has passed within woo-commerce?

Just like with any other product, sold tickets will remain as orders in WooCommerce. Unsold tickets remain in your stock, if you can say that for tickets.

 

4) Can you change the colour of the search bar from the standard grey to white?

Add the below CSS to your theme’s style.css file:
#tribe-bar-form {
background-color: #ffffff;
}
Let me know if you have any followup questions.

Cheers,
Andras

Thanks very much for your help andras.
I used the user access role plugin to prevent ticket creation on the community form.
Could you walk me through the simplified steps to create/limit the community form. For my basic form I would like only to offer the additional info fields – venue and image will be preset. Thanks!

Hey Malcolm,

I am glad to see you were able to find a solution for that.

As for limiting the community form, what you can do is hide the specific parts you don’t need and limit the input. However, note, that the new community event form can only be submitted if the required fields (Event Title, Event Description) have a value, so you will need to somehow pre-fill those.

For hiding the specific sections you can paste this snippet in your theme’s styles.css file:
.tribe_community_edit #event_taxonomy, /* Hides Events Categories section */
.tribe_community_edit #event_image_uploader, /* hides Event Image */
.tribe_community_edit #event_datepickers, /* hides Event Time & Date */
.tribe_community_edit #event_tribe_venue, /* hides Venue Details */
.tribe_community_edit #event_tribe_organizer, /* hides Organizer Details */
.tribe_community_edit #event_website, /* hides Event Website*/
.tribe_community_edit #event_cost /* hides Event Cost */
{ display: none; }

.tribe_community_edit #event_taxonomy input,
.tribe_community_edit #event_image_uploader input,
.tribe_community_edit #event_datepickers input, .tribe_community_edit #event_datepickers select,
.tribe_community_edit #event_tribe_venue input, .tribe_community_edit #event_tribe_venue select,
.tribe_community_edit #event_tribe_organizer input, .tribe_community_edit #event_tribe_organizer select,
.tribe_community_edit #event_website input,
.tribe_community_edit #event_cost input, .tribe_community_edit #event_cost select
{  pointer-events: none; }
Note: this will hide the elements but they will still be visible in the code.

Let me know if this helps.

Cheers,
Andras

Hi Andras!
Awesome info as always thanks!
Will put that to good use.
One last query:
Would it work to create two different forms – one for free and one for paid users?

Cheers
Malc

Hey Malcolm,

I’m super happy that solution works for you! 🙂 Glad I could help!

I guess creating different forms could be possible, but that would require customization which is well beyond our support.

I can share with a list of freelancers who should be able to help you develop what you need, and who are not affiliated with us in any way:

Let me know if you have any followup questions regarding this topic.
