Venues on Submit an Event page Question

[Melissa Doyle]

Is there any way that under Venues on the Submit Event page we can make sure that venues aren’t being duplicated? Or at least give a reminder to those submitting the events to make sure their venue isn’t already listed? — Could this be done via functions.php to just put a note after VENUES dropdown like: (Please check venue dropdown before filling out venue fields.)

— as indicated in the screenshot.

Good evening Melissa and welcome back!

Thank you for reaching out to us.
I would love to answer your questions.

Is there any way that under Venues on the Submit Event page we can make sure that venues aren’t being duplicated?

Technically I am sure that it’s possible to implement such a validation. However, this is not built-in and can only be achieved through customization.

Just to set expectations, as you might know, the scope of our support is mostly to get our customers started on the right track and to help them in case of issues. We unfortunately do not provide complete support for customization.

You can:

• Read our Themer’s guide to get a sense of how that works
• Hire one of our recommended customizers to do the customization for you

Or at least give a reminder to those submitting the events to make sure their venue isn’t already listed? — Could this be done via functions.php to just put a note after VENUES dropdown like: (Please check venue dropdown before filling out venue fields.)

Absolutely, this is probably the easiest and simplest solution. I would still recommend the themer’s guide as a starting point for this.

Let me know how that goes.

Best regards,
Geoff B.
