Error says user wasn't born when race took place

With the new version, you can create an event in the future from the admin panel. You can then edit the date at a later stage.

When the event has passed, the athletes can then enter their times.

Is this not the functionality you’re looking for?

Please see my previous post.

All I wanted was more flexibility on the form fields when creating an event so that the user can fill it out the date and location instead of me forcing and restricting it.

I can create the event without the date and location being required (thank you for the solution) but now when an athlete goes in to enter their times, the location and date fields are empty and locked and they cannot enter their location or date.

I assume I need to unlock those fields on the user’s form when they enter their time too? Is that a different location than wp-athletics-functions.php page?

Alphie,

I’m at a bit of a loss here on what you are trying to achieve. Can you explain to me simply what the reasoning is behind creating events with no date and allowing users to enter times for this event that may or my not have happened.

Why can’t you create the event, allow it to happen and then the users can enter their times, that functionality is there.

Maybe there’s a better solution for what you’re trying to do than hack at the plugin. This is just going to cause you more problems down the line when you need to upgrade to a new version.

Conor.

Your plugin is perfect and works great. I tried to explain it in as detailed as I can. My participants run all over the world. All I want is to provide them a place to enter their time for an event that has no specific deadline. Since they are all over the world their location and completion date will vary. So you helped me fix that by removing the “required” class from the Create an Event form. But now participants still cannot fill in the location and date because it is locked on the “Add My Results” form.

Solution: Unlock the “Location” and “Date” fields of the “Add my Results” form so users can edit it freely.

Alphie, because I’ve just added a lot of new functionality recently around future events, you’ll just have to delve into the code and tweak it to suit your needs. What you’re looking for isn’t a feature I’m going to add to the released solution as it’s a very niche request. I’ll give you any help I can.
