Hello<\/p>\n

We are starting to see quite a lot of duplicate venues and organisers in our database. This is because when people fill in the community events form to create an event, and start typing in a venue or organiser, it shows the name below if it has been used before, but if they hit the Enter key before highlighting the name, it creates a whole new record. So we end up with 3 of 4 of the same venue or organiser, even within one session if they are entering in more than one event. <\/p>\n

Would it be possible to submit a request for an update to this feature? For example, in the time tracking software I use, https:\/\/toggl.com<\/a>, if I want to create a new client, I need to scroll past all the existing client listings and press the “+” symbol. It makes me look at all the ones that are already there first, and potentially select one, before making a very definite action to ‘create new’. Could something similar be implemented on the Community Events form, so that customers don’t accidentally create so many duplicate venues and organisers? <\/p>\n

Secondly, when someone selects ‘Australia’ in the list of countries for their address, the list of states does not change. Our customers continue to see the list of American states. So we are finding that they are typing in their Australian state and creating multiple versions eg, VIC, Victoria etc, which makes it difficult for us to create listings pages if there are different spellings. Would it be possible to have conditional logic set up on the form, so that when someone selects Australia as the county, Australian states and territories display in the dropdown?<\/p>\n

Third question, is there a way to add a ‘Book Now’ or ‘Buy Tickets’ CTA to search results listings? ie, when you type in a query in the free search field at the top of the page and the list of concerts comes up. Is there a way to have a Book Now or Buy Tickets button next to each event there on the Event Listings Archive template to encourage people to click through to the page for more info?<\/p>\n
