It is important for my client to be accurate with these event details and choosing from predetermined data is one way we can minimise the risk of any errors. As I expected, this could be technically difficult to achieve.<\/p>\n<p>So, I am now looking at a different approach to achieve essentially the same thing \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I have created a form outside of WordPress with drop-down menu&#8217;s &#8211; administrators simply select from the predefined information. They then click a button which produces a neatly formatted table of their information which can subsequently be pasted into the event information box. My form is a work in progress with some errors but you can see a working example from the links I&#8217;ll provide in a private post.<\/p>\n<p>To make the event publication process even simpler, it would be nice if the &#8216;Press This&#8217; bookmark feature of WordPress could open up the back-end editor &#8211; specifically the Add New Event editor. Can you see what I am trying to achieve? \ud83d\ude42 The administrator would then just click the Press This bookmark to open up the backend editor, and insert their table of information automatically.<\/p>\n<p>The Press This bookmark includes javascript which frankly confuses me but can this be modified to open up the back-end Add New Event editor?<\/p>\n<p>As always, any help would be very much appreciated.<\/p>\n<p>Kind regards,<\/p>\n<p>Paul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1172121","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>Can the &#039;Press This&#039; bookmark open up &#039;Add New Event&#039; in the back-end? -<\/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\/can-the-press-this-bookmark-open-up-add-new-event-in-the-back-end\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Can the &#039;Press This&#039; bookmark open up &#039;Add New Event&#039; in the back-end? -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hello all, Let me explain!
