Use saved Organizer/Venue

[sean]

By default, when an Organizer or Venue is selected from the “Use saved Organizer (or Venue)” dropdown on the Community Events Submit an Event form, the other fields in the Organizer or Venue section are hidden. This means that unless the user remembers all of the data for each saved Venue or Organizer (e.g. Organizer Email, Organizer phone), they have no way of seeing what data is associated with that saved Venue/Organizer.

Is there a way to change this so that instead of the fields becoming hidden when a saved Organizer or Venue is selected, the fields stay visible and display the saved data in the respective fields.

Thanks,
Sean

Hi Sean!

I suspect that is indeed possible – and our Themer’s Guide remains the best starting point for this kind of tweak (I realize you probably are aware of that – it’s more a note for others coming across topics like this one).

The data used to generate the saved organizer/venue lists primarily consists of the IDs and names, as loading all organizer/venue data could potentially be a resource intensive operation. It could certainly be fetched lazily, though, in the sense of showing and populating those fields only after they are selected.

Alternatively, if you know you have only a limited number of organizers/venues and performance is therefore not so much of a concern, you could load them all en masse and deliver the complete range of data all at once.

Whichever approach you take, the customization is possible but beyond the scope of support we’d typically provide here on the forums.

I hope that at least gives you some avenues you can explore 🙂
