Save artist info

[Rachael]

Is there a way to save the artist info entered into a custom field so you don’t have to fill it in each time that artist performs, even if it’s at different venues?

Hi Rachael,

Thanks for checking out our plugins!

You could add the artist as the Organizer of the event, which you can save and then just select that artist as the Organizer with each new event. You can enter a description for an organizer in addition to the contact info, so you could save any additional artist info here.

Alternatively, you could use the Additional Fields feature that comes with Events Calendar Pro. This will allow you to create fields for whatever information you would like. In your artist scenario, you could create a select box with the artists’ names, and then additional select boxes for any additional information you wanted to display. For example, if you had “A Day to Remember” from “Ocala, FL”, you would create two select boxes, one for the artist and one for the location. Note that these boxes will not be linked, so selecting the artist will not automatically bring up a location.

I think that using the default Organizer field for artists would work best for you, and we do have a little extension that would let you change the Organizer label to Artist if you wanted to do so.

Please let me know if you have any other questions!

Thanks,

Jennifer
