Hi team,<\/p>\n

I’m using Community Events to allow users to submit events for approval. For the admin to know if they should approve a submitted event, we need to collect extra data along with the basic event data (title, description, time & date, etc). The extra data don’t need to show up on the front end of the single event page once the event is approved, but it still needs to belong the the metadata of the event.<\/p>\n

I have tried using the Additional Fields to add more fields to the form, but these fields are not complex enough for the data I want to collect, and the result of these fields show up on event information box on the front end. I also want to provide an explanation for each question, which Additional Fields don’t support.<\/p>\n

Is there any way I can integrate a 3rd party form plugin like Gravity Forms to collect the extra data? Or what would you suggest as the best solution for my case?<\/p>\n

Please advise. Thank you very much!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1522592","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nCollect extra data on Community Events submission form with Gravity Forms -<\/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\/collect-extra-data-on-community-events-submission-form-with-gravity-forms\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Collect extra data on Community Events submission form with Gravity Forms -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hi team, I’m using Community Events to allow users to submit events for approval.
