Problem with Filter to require Venue entry

[Abigail Marshall]

This is in reference to this closes thread & post:

Can’t set the venue field as required

I am experiencing the same problem as reported before, with the latest versions of The Events Calendar and Community Events. I did not report this problem immediately, because I had read the other threads on this and thought that the problem or bug was already known.

However, at least for me, it has not been fixed in Community Events 4.5. I experience the same issue as previously reported by others — the failure to supply an Organizer does yield an error message, but an event with no venue can be submitted.

I am using the following filter:

function my_community_required_fields( $fields ) {

    if ( ! is_array( $fields ) ) {
        return $fields;
    }

    $fields[] = 'venue';
    $fields[] = 'organizer';

    return $fields;
}

(Note: this is not a critical problem because my users almost always set the venue anyway — but I did want to let you know that at least on my system, the problem is persisting, unless there is some error in the way I coded my filter).

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics.
