Hi, I’ve created a form using the Community Events plugin which allows users to create events on the front end. The problem is that there is no box for location, so when the user creates an event they do not show up on my home page which is setup to show posts based on location (and has buttons for popular locations to filter by).<\/p>\n

Instead the user adds information on the venue, but unfortunately this does not populate the event->location field.<\/p>\n

The ideal solution would be to have a drop-down menu in the venue info section which would allow users to select a location and for this to also populate the event->location field so that the posts show up on the front page.<\/p>\n

Failing that I could have a separate and required location field on the form for the user to select from available locations. This is the second best choice as having to get the user to add a location and venue location seems a bit redundant.<\/p>\n

Any help for how I could achieve this would be much appreciated. My guess is that some hacking about with the edit-event.php template may work for the second option.<\/p>\n

Thanks, this is a great plug in and has been very useful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-990268","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nGetting location from venue info -<\/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\/getting-location-from-venue-info\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Getting location from venue info -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hi, I’ve created a form using the Community Events plugin which allows users to create events on the front end.
