Some of these events have acronyms or might have complicated and hard-to-spell information to enter in the event &#8216;Details&#8217; box.<\/p>\n<p>So, in an attempt to make sure the information they enter is accurate, if possible they would like pre-defined event information on the &#8216;Details&#8217; box to select from, prior to publishing the event. Is this possible?<\/p>\n<p>See my mock-up screenshot here for an example of what I mean:<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/0B4EOonSia39DR2NqanNfS1JReTg\/view?usp=sharing<\/p>\n<p>If the administrators had this pre-defined list to chose from, there would be no typos. It&#8217;s important there are no typos because the search engine might not return results for some acronyms or wrongly spelt course information.<\/p>\n<p>At the moment, we are using basic copy and paste from Word documents but this is not entirely seamless as some courses contain variations of other courses&#8230; it all gets a bit complicated!<\/p>\n<p>I hope I have explained all that okay? Basically, when entering event details, is there a way to select from information which we have predefined?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m open to other suggestions outside of WordPress. For example a &#8216;template&#8217; HTML page uploaded to the server with selectable options which can be copied in its entirety back into the Details box. For example:<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.paulholdcroft.uk\/test.html<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the above example does not work because copying the page also copies the dropdown menu&#8217;s, which in turn appear on the published event. Not one of my finest ideas but worth a try I guess!<\/p>\n<p>Hope you can help.<\/p>\n<p>Kind regards,<\/p>\n<p>Paul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1165606","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Pre-defined event details from drop-down menus? -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/pre-defined-event-details-from-drop-down-menus\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Pre-defined event details from drop-down menus? -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hello \ud83d\ude42 My client publishes course events for junior doctors to attend.
