Removing saved venue / organizer from community

[jwesseldyke]

I have pro & community installed on my site. Are the “saved venues” and “saved organizers” dropdowns mandatory input fields for all user levels? Forcing these options is a problem — users should not be able to assign an organizer from a list of organizers… Same thing with venues. Not only is there a strong likelihood that there will be duplicate venues, the list of vendors will soon become really long…

Each member should enter their own venue and organizer information. The only time this is a time saver is if an administrator is the only entering information and it’s often the same.

I searched the FAQ’s and saw something about changing post permissions — if that’s what has to happen, I’m unclear how to set that up.

jwesseldyke,
Thanks for reaching out and hopefully I can help you here. No fields in the ‘Venues’ or ‘Organizers’ sections are required. Users can leave those fields completely blank, as some events might not necessitate the need for that information. The ‘Saved Venues’ and ‘Saved Organizer’ dropdowns are also not mandatory; they’re just there to give the user some pre-filled options should they want to use the same information for another event.

Hopefully that helps to answer your question, but please let me know if you need further information.

Thanks!

Cheers,
Casey

Casey,
Thanks for the response… So there is a way to not have those fields display at all? I’m trying to avoid giving community members the option to see both those fields.

Is there a simple way to make that happen?

Are you talking about removing the ‘Saved Venues’ and ‘Saved Organizers’ dropdowns?

[jwesseldyke]

Exactly. I don’t even want those fields to be an option.
I’m trying to use the plugin on a community type site where I’m envisioning people adding lots of different things to the calendar. I don’t want there to be the option of saved venues/organizers. Just a field in each section that says “venue” and “organizer”.

Ok, you should be able to do this by performing a template override (instructions) and modifying the ‘modules/venue.php’ to remove this line of code:


<?php tribe_community_events_venue_select_menu( $event ); ?>


And then also modifying ‘modules/organizer.php’ to remove this line of code:


<?php tribe_community_events_organizer_select_menu( $event ); ?>


Give that a try and let me know if it does the trick. Thanks!

Since you’ve marked my reply as the answer, I’ll assume that you’re all set here and go ahead and close this one out. Feel free to create a new thread if you have further questions. Thanks! 🙂
