Show the author for venue

[dpeschio]

Hi Folks,

I need to get the author to display in ‘quick edit’ on the venu list so I can change the ownership.

My ultimate goal is to allow a user the ability to edit their events and their venue via the WP dashboard. I’m using the Community Events add-on but it seems easier to limit access to what’s available in their dashboard to just what they need, and allow them to edit everything from one place.

Thanks in advance.

Hey Dan,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

You can do this by adding the following line to your theme’s functions.php file

add_post_type_support( 'tribe_venue', 'author' );

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!

Just what I needed. Thanks!

I’ve had to add a lot of “extras” in my functions.php for the venues in order to use them the way I need to. It’s all standard stuff available for events and other custom post types. Things that seem like they should just be standard – at least at the pro level. A few examples: being able to add categories to venues and being able to change ownership of the venues.

We’ve created a community and we want to allow users to maintain their venue and add and edit events (we have community events installed). Then we want to display the venues by category as menu items, and sort by sub category. We’ve done all this but it would have been a lot easier if venues had all the standard features of post. Here’s an example of a page that displays the main category of Brewery with three sections of sub categories: full page advertiser, half and free listing. These are sorted randomly inside each sub so no one is always on top of their section.

Thanks again!

One more question – Say someone with a user role that is NOT admin – contributor, for example – adds an event. When choosing a venue with the pull-down menu they have My Venues as an option, and then they have Available Venues. Under Available Venues only the venue owned by the logged in user is available. How do I get all venues to show under Available Venues pull-down menu?

Hey Dan,

I definitely see the value of the additional features that you’ve described. It’s a little more than the majority of our typical users are using the plugin for however I do see the value in some of these elements. If you wanted, we do use UserVoice to allow our users to vote on features such as this if you wanted to add some of those there.

For the Venue dropdown edit support that you’re describing, this can be addressed using a Role manager plugin such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/. You can add the ability to edit venues to different roles that you would like to be able to access the venues when submitting events.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!
