Thanks Jonah…Sorry to say that didn’t do anything. I’ve tried commenting out just that line and also several other lines and it doesn’t even change the form at all!
I need is to be able to remove the option to “use new venue” and “use new organizer”. So for both those sections we’d have the drop down to select from and no other fields to complete. I’m beginning to think I may need to hire s programmer to make this happen. I was hoping for an easy fix but so far nothing you’ve offered has done what we need. Do you have any other ideas?
You can see the page in question at http://sococulture.org/calendar/member/add if you log in as testing and p/w temp12345. I will remove this account in 24 hours.
Shoot…I just realized this… They wanted to leave the drop down of existing venues there just not let folks add any new ones. Would your fix have done that? If so I need help with how to implement it. But if not (which is my guess) would there even be a way to do that? So let them SEE the existing venues to select one but not let them ADD any venues. They’d have to request a new venue to be added by admin.
Thanks so much Jonah. I couldn’t just upload your generously provided code as we had already customized that file to add drop-downs for city and category selections. So I tried to figure out how to correctly wrap the code to no avail. BUT I was able to simply remove those two segments from the form entirely. I think that’s fine as the admin always uses the WP Dashboard and not the ECP Form for entry. I’m meeting with them this afternoon. Hopefully they’ll be pleased and we can put this to rest. Thanks!
I’m sorry but I’m unclear where to find this setting to “just change the permissions on the Organizer/Venue custom post types so that only admins (or whatever level of access you deem appropriate) can see them.”
Is that in Community Events Access Control? I’m afraid if I block roles there they won’t be able to post events at all. I’m just not seeing where to do this. THANKS!
Thanks for the thoughts. Is there a way to turn off adding venues for anyone who isn’t admin? That MIGHT do it. Then admin could add all the member’s primary venues once and if they’re doing a unique venue they’d have to request approval. You’re right the clear message would be quite useless! We have 50 different organizations submitting entries and within each one, no telling how many unique folks are allowed to add!
So if we go into the Dashboard and just willy-nilly select and remove venues what happens to any events that are attached to them?
WOW…I have the exact same issue with further clarification needed and a request from the client. Because we’re using the Community Events add-on I think our duplicate venues are because the members either aren’t checking for the venue and/or are adding them with very slight difference (ie: caps, abbreviations, etc). They want to know if you would consider developing an additional feature that would be able to alert a person when they’re entering something that is similar to something already there! Good idea!
AND, from your response to OP it sounds like if we simply remove all dupes any events assigned to them will no longer list a venue. Is that right? Or would they completely disappear? It would be nice if we’d get a warning and an opportunity to reassign them! Much as happens in WP when you remove an author!
Just sayin’…. seems to be a HUGE problem when having a wide assortment of community members adding to the calendar. Thanks.
Joel glad you got it sorted.
Barry, I’m glad to know you’re on this. Presumably you’ll be able to find the issue and fix it. I would hope we will NOT have another upgrade that requires this kind of special attention and recreating of custom work. Totally a PITA! I look forward to hear the resolution. Thank you.Joel, I ended up not needing to revert. Just a few tweaks (that shouldn’t have been necessary) got mine all fixed up. Check the items mentioned in the posts above and see if you’re OK before reverting. Good luck.
Me too. Thanks Andy.
Meanwhile, ANOTHER issue that surfaces is that the template settings my HMTL in the Add HTML after calendar section disappeared. REALLY? Shouldn’t this stuff be retained with an upgrade. Did I do something wrong clicking to update the plugin? If so, that option shouldn’t come up! What gives here?Thanks Andy. That pointed me in the right direction. In my case it wasn’t that setting. The upgrade changed the default url slug back to “events” and my site is setup for it to be “calendar”! GEEZ….
ATTENTION STAFF…this is a bug in my view. Updates should NOT change any of my settings!
WHEW…glad to have that fixed so quickly.
Sorry…wish I could edit a post. I’m guessing that is located in one of the ECP templates. Can you tell me where to look for it? Probably the summary got removed but not that break! Just guessing… I may’ve done it somewhere I should’ve before I knew to make a special folder for custom changes.
PS…it’s the in that code snip that’s causing the issue. Is there some custom CSS that would eliminate that? I can’t figure out how it got there?!
Thanks Jonah,
Because I’m a designer not much of a coder I use Headway framework for my sites. That means I’m not much for diving into my php files directly!For the SEO…Headway does have built-in SEO customization by template. I just checked and the Events template (and all of them actually) are set for the title to display as %title% | %sitename%. Obviously that’s not happening for the events but is for the rest of the site.
The Sharaholic plugin is setup to insert their stuff ONLY at the bottom of each post/event which it does. I saw that same code as your screen shot. I thought it had to do with holding a spot for the Event Summary which I’ve set to display: none on the full event page. Could that be it for the spacing issue?
Any clues greatly appreciated.
