2 Questions to custom event attributes

    Hello,

    I added several custom Event attributes and it works fine.

    1) Now I want to add a Default value, but this but that is not displayed. I understand the Syntax as follow
    #_ATT{Field Label}{Defualt Value}
    I used
    #_ATT{KontaktTelefon}{Für evtl. Kontaktaufnahme}
    But Für evtl. Kontaktaufnahme is not displayed in the form field. Do I understood something wrong?

    2) Another Attribute is an additional adress-field. I want to use 3 lines for this. Is that possible? How can I expand the form field?

    Thanks for your help

    1. by saying “is not displayed” – did you mean in your single events page in the frontend?

    2. you might need to do additional modification on template file under events-manager/templates/forms/event/attributes-public.php

    to use templates: https://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/using-template-files/

    eg. wp-content/themes/Your Theme/plugins/events-manager/forms/event/attributes-public.php

    Hello Angelo,

    thanks for your answers.

    1) I mean the default Value is not displayed in the anonymus event submission form

    2) I’m not an PHP-Expert. I understand, that <textarea> could be a way to create fields with 3 lines, but as far I understand the code in attributes-public.php, this would be change all fields and not only the adress-field. Do I understand something wrong?

    1. I see what you mean now, I’m going to let the devs know about this.

    2. no, this will only take effect on the custom events attributes and you can add custom php condition to prevent this.

    Hi Gerd,

    Sorry for the delay, I was looking into this but it turns out this isn’t a bug, it’s as intended. The docs say this about the #_ATT placeholder:

    The text in the second braces will appear if the attribute is not defined or left blank for that event

    If you visit that submitted event and include that placeholder in your event format, it’ll show the default value if you didn’t already add one or left it blank.
