Hi Victor,

I tried to pinpoint the issue on my end and it seems that the default Avada theme (not customization’s in either functions.php or /tribe-events/) is causing the issue. In other words, with this custom workaround in place, the Venue fields don’t appear when using the default Avada theme with no customization’s. (FYI our site uses an Avada child theme with customization’s).

Additionally, in all cases (1. Child Theme with customization’s, and 2. Default Avada theme with only this filter/function and php file added), no errors appeared in the Chrome dev tools Console.

I’ve reverted back to our standard Child Theme with customization’s and removed the requirement to login. Is there any way you can take a look at the Submit Event page to see if you can spot anything?

Thanks again,
Karly

Good morning Victor,

Thanks again for your advice and solutions. I’m happy to report that I was able to get the above issues fixed with the information you provided!

I’ll keep an eye out for a fix being released for the Date & Time bug.

Can you please confirm if #5 above (Venue and Organizer field values not being retained when an error is returned) will also be fixed when the fix is released for the Date & Time bug?

Lastly, the Additional Field values are not retained when an error message is returned. If that isn’t already in the above bug report, would you be able to verify and add those fields to the fix?

Thanks,
Karly

Hi Victor,

Thank you very much for putting this together. I really appreciate the time and effort. Unfortunately, after adding the respective code to functions.php and [your-theme]/tribe-events/create-venue-fields.php, after typing in a new venue name and clicking “Create [Venue Name typed]”, nothing happens. The Venue fields are not expanded, so it is not possible to create a new venue.

Any change you can try it on your end when you have a chance?

PS – On a related note, we are also using the filter described here (tribe_get_state_options) that was recently added to restrict which states are shown in the dropdown after selecting United States as the country. Not sure if that would in any way effect the Country dropdown?

[Sean]

No worries Victor 🙂 Thanks for investigating these!

[Sean]

Thanks Victor. Looking forward to hearing how we can get the default country set on the Community Events form!

Best,
Karly

PS – one more issue:

5. When errors are returned, the values entered into the respective Venue and Organizer fields (Venue Name, Address, Venue Website, Organizer Email, etc) are not retained.

Good morning András,

Thank you very much for this snippet as well as the detailed explanation of where to place the code and what it will do. It is exactly what we needed!

Thanks again and happy holidays!

Thanks Victor. This is very helpful!

Hi Victor,

Thanks for your reply. Sorry if I wasn’t clear in my initial post. I am aware of the themers guide and how to create template overrides. We already have our customization’s in our child theme, within the tribe-events folder. What we’re trying to do is determine what has changed in the core files from the version we have installed, to the latest version. That will help us figure out what, if anything, we need to update in our customized files.

Do you or any of the other Modern Tribe team members have a recommended process for determining what changes have been made to core files so that users such as ourselves can tell what code we need to update in our modified files?

Thanks.

[Sean]

Awesome, thank you Cliff!

Good evening Cliff,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Really appreciate you adding this to the upcoming releases. Looking forward to it being added!

When the filter is added, is there a example you could provide of the code snippet we could add to our functions.php file? I understand the filter name might be undetermined, but having the structure on hand so we can simply adjust the filter name and include our desired states would be very helpful.

Best,
Karly

Hi Andras,

Thanks for the update on the start/end date and time bug. Hopefully that can get into the next maintenance release since its been a known bug for over 2 months now?

Regarding the Venue and Organizers, I tried the steps you outlined and was able to successfully create new Venues and Organizers. So its great to see that there isn’t a technical bug with these. However, I think that the UX could be improved so that it is clear to users (of any site using Community Events) how to create a new Venue or Organizer.

While the old (version 4.3 and earlier) Venue and Organizer modules of the Submit an Event form showed all of their fields by default, the user now needs perform three extra steps to create a new Venue or Org:
1. click/tap on the dropdown
2. type in a name
3. either hit enter or click on the dropdown option that says “Create:…”

This makes the process very cumbersome for users that are trying to quickly create a new Venue or Organizer. The fact that the title of the dropdown fields is “Use Saved Venue” and “Use Saved Organizer” also does not make it clear that the dropdown is for creating a new Venue or Organizer.

Why was the layout and functionality for these changed in version 4.4? We’re longtime users of your plugins and it seems the workflow has taken a few steps back with this change. Why not keep the dropdown for (only) selecting an existing Venue or Org and continue to display the individual fields to create a new Venue or Org? The workflow wouldn’t change at all for selecting an existing one, but it’d keep it as straightforward as possible for creating new ones.

If for some reason we are the only ones reporting this problem, if we wanted to retain the Venue and Organizer modules from version 4.3, could we copy the default modules from version 4.3 into our template overrides after updating to version 4.4 and expect to have the correct functionality for creating and selecting existing Venues and Organizers? Or has something changes beyond the modules that would break the previous module code?

Look forward to hearing the team’s thoughts on this.

Thanks and have a great weekend!

Best,
Karly

Hi Andras,

Thanks for you reply. That’d be great if these issues can be included in this next release. The two in particular that make version 4.4 unusable from a user’s perspective are:
1) Not being able to create new Venues or new Organizers, and
2) The Start/End dates and times being reset when an error message is returned.

I’m sure anyone using the plugin will be grateful once these bugs (and the others reported in the original topic) are fixed, as it’ll mean we finally update the plugin and start using the new features such as Featured Events.

Thanks and look forward to hearing if these will be fixed in the next release.

Best,
Karly

Hi George,

Just wanted to check on the status of these Community Events issues. I know they didn’t make it into the last maintenance release but I didn’t seem any of them on https://theeventscalendar.com/known-issues/ either. Any chance they will be included in the next maintenance release? We’d love to be able to update to version 4.4 but can’t until these Submit an Event form bugs are fixed.

Also, were you able to confirm Issue #4 (Month View on mobile: imageSrc does not work) and Issue #5 (Duplicate in the the-events-calendar.pot file)?

Thank you,
Karly
