Set Default Columns on My Events page

[Sean]

Hi,

We’d like to hide the Display Options button that is located at the top of /events/community/list and set certain columns of data as “active” so that our users will always have specific columns viewable. We know how to hide the Display Options button via CSS, but how can we set which columns of data are activated/checked on the back-end? In our case, we want to hide the following columns: Category and End Date.

Thank you,
Karly

Hello Karly,

Thanks for reaching out with your question! That’s a good one.

I believe the easiest would be to create a template override for this file:

the-events-calendar-community-events\src\views\community\event-list.php

(More details about creating a template override in our Themer’s Guide)

Line 79-90 handles creating the options in the dropdown.

If you add a piece of code like this right after the foreachin line 79, that will remove the two columns from the dropdown as well as from the table.

<?php if( $column_slug == "category" || $column_slug == "end_date" ) continue; ?>

Note, category and the end date will still be visible in the code, but not accessible via the UI.

If you want to make it disappear from the code as well, then you will need some further customization later in the code.

Hope this gets you started. Let me know if you need further guidance.

Cheers,
Andras
