Hi,<\/p>\n

We’re finally updating to the latest version of Community Events after updating our template overrides with the new functionality and views introduced earlier this year. One area we’re having trouble with is the functions to set the required fields and error message for the Community Events Submission Form.<\/p>\n

Following your updated article at https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/knowledgebase\/required-fields-for-events-submission-form\/, we have added the following to our functions.php file:<\/p>\n

\/\/Customize Event Required Fields\nadd_filter( 'tribe_events_community_required_fields', 'my_community_required_fields', 10, 1 );\n\nfunction my_community_required_fields( $fields ) {\n\n    if ( ! is_array( $fields ) ) {\n        return $fields;\n    }\n\n    $fields[] = 'EventStartDate';\n    $fields[] = 'EventStartHour';\n    $fields[] = 'EventStartMinute';\t\n    $fields[] = 'EventURL';\n\t$fields[] = 'venue';\n\t$fields[] = 'organizer';\n\n    return $fields;\n}\n\n\/\/Customize Venue Required Fields\nadd_filter( 'tribe_events_community_required_venue_fields', 'my_venue_community_required_fields', 10, 1 );\n\nfunction my_venue_community_required_fields( $fields ) {\n    \n    if ( ! is_array( $fields ) ) {\n        return $fields;\n    }\n\n    $fields[] = 'Venue';\n    $fields[] = 'Address';\n    $fields[] = 'City';\n    $fields[] = 'State';\n    $fields[] = 'Zip';\n\n    return $fields;\n}\n\n\/\/Customize Organizer Required Fields\nadd_filter( 'tribe_events_community_required_organizer_fields', 'my_organizer_community_required_fields', 10, 1 );\n\nfunction my_organizer_community_required_fields( $fields ) {\n    \n    if ( ! is_array( $fields ) ) {\n        return $fields;\n    }\n\n\t$fields[] = 'Organizer';\n    $fields[] = 'email';\n\n    return $fields;\n} <\/code><\/pre>\n
With this code, we’ve encountered a few issues\/bugs:
\n1. The Event Description is returned as a required field, even though it is not set as required. How can we remove this as a required field?
\n2. The Event Start Hour and Event Start Minute are not being recognized as having values submitted even though the time fields have values selected from the time drop down.
\n3. The Event Date and Event Times submitted are not retained when an error (required field message) is returned (they reset to the default values).
\n4. In addition to the specific Venue and Organizer fields being returned as “Organizer Name is required”, etc, an additional row of “Organizer is required” is also returned (see attached screenshot). Is the code at the bottom of this post still valid with the recent version of the plugins to modify the error messages? (this was crafted by Modern Tribe last year, but given the major updates to Community Events, we’re unsure if using this would lead to issues).<\/p>\n
Can you please advise how we can get these fixed\/resolved?<\/p>\n
Thank you!
\nKarly<\/p>\n
