"Required" label not showing on venue and organizer fields

[Rick Dumont]

First of all, thanks for the update that allowed the venue and organizer fields to be required more easily than before. Works great. However they are not marked as “required” like the other fields automatically are. Is there some extra step I am missing? Here’s the code I’m using: http://pastebin.com/8RXRccT1

Hi Rick – yes, to add the required markers you’d need to add a little extra code, something like this:

add_filter( 'tribe_events_community_required_fields', 'add_ce_required_field_labels' );

function add_ce_required_field_labels( array $fields ) {
	$fields[] = 'organizer';
	$fields[] = 'venue';
	return $fields;
}

Does that help here?

Hi Barry,
Thanks for your response. I added the code to my theme’s functions.php file but no luck, the “required” text still does not show. Any other thoughts?

Hi!

It looks like you’ve customized your submission form a little. Perhaps changes made in recent versions of Community Events haven’t been carried over to the customized versions of the templates?

Could you (temporarily) rename your tribe-events directory (within your theme) to something like __disabled and take another peek at your submission form and check if you now see “Required” next to the sections you mentioned?

Thanks!

[Rick Dumont]

Yes, when I disable the directory I can see the “required” text. Is it possible to get it to work with my customized form?
Thanks.
Rick

It probably is – I’m not actually sure what you’re missing/what exactly you’ve done differently, but what I’d recommend is looking at the current default version of the template and simply compare and contrast with your custom version.

Would that work here?

[Rick Dumont]

I’ll give it a look-see and try to figure it out.
Thanks for all your help.
Rick

My pleasure 🙂

Hi! It’s been a while so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread. If we can help with anything else, though, please don’t hesitate to create new threads as needed. Thanks!
