Tags with buddypress frontend

Hi,

Glad you’re enjoying the plugin.

To do that you’d need to create a custom version of this template:
/events-manager/templates/forms/event-editor.php

This tutorial explains how to create custom templates that are upgrade-safe:

Thanks for your response.

To do that you’d need to create a custom version of this template:
/events-manager/templates/forms/event-editor.php

In the above file, I tried to imitate the attributes/categories pattern without success, because I don’t know which tag template to call:

<div class="event-extra-details">
 <?php if(get_option('dbem_attributes_enabled')) { em_locate_template('forms/event/attributes-public.php',true); }  ?>
 <?php if(get_option('dbem_categories_enabled')) { em_locate_template('forms/event/categories-public.php',true); }  ?>
 <?php if(get_option('dbem_tags_enabled')) { em_locate_template('???????.php',true); }  ?>
</div>

Any help?

You’d need to create a copy of this file

events-manager/templates/forms/event/categories-public.php

but edited to use tags instead of categories.

You’d then need to include the new file in the main template using something like

em_locate_template('forms/event/tags-public.php',true);

It doesn’t work and it couldn’t. Categories are set by the admin, so in the event form (add/edit an event) there is a multiselect area a user can choose from, while Tags are created by the user and, with the time, they can become many hundreds. So a text input is needed instead of a multiselect thing.

When I tested, a multiselect area was created that didn’t include the tags I had created in the admin area and it created also a bug: the booking part of the form disappeared and the sidebar of my site as well. So it needs the correct code but I am not a developer.

As buddypress has 200,000 installations and a frontend which manages everything, I think it is a good idea to add this feature in the future.

Have a nice day!
