Setting author for anonymously submitted events

[Natasha]

I see this thread on changing the author after the event is submitted. Can we set a default somehow?

Hello Natasha,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

A colleague of mine whipped up the following little snippet for this:


function ce_set_default_author( $event_id ) {
remove_action( 'tribe_events_update_meta', 'ce_set_default_author' );
if ( 0 == get_post_field( 'post_author', $event_id ) ) {
wp_update_post( array(
'ID' => $event_id,
'post_author' => 123
) );
}
}
function ce_before_save() {
add_action( 'tribe_events_update_meta', 'ce_set_default_author' );
}
add_action( 'tribe_ce_before_event_submission_page', 'ce_before_save' );

where ‘123’ is the ID of the default author.

Please note, this code hasn’t been tested yet.

Give it a try and let me know if it works.

Cheers,
Andras
