Remove suggested locations ‘previously created location’
-
Hi, on the event submission form, when a user adds a location, I would like to remove the ‘auto suggest’ that brings up a previously created location. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
Reason: (in case anyone knows of a better way to achieve what I need?) – I want to disable location pages but when I disable locations the facility to add address data (and thus geo-location an event) will no longer be present in the event submission form. I don’t want to lose the option to attribute an address to an event, and then allow for a search using that address within my site.
In other detail in case it’s useful ??
– All events at the site in question will be added via the front end.
– Event listers will be either venues with multiple events, or those with events who don’t manage venues, and whose events may take place at multiple venues.I would like users who list events to have just one page via which to manage their event (edit events) but easily be able to change where their event is located, too, preferably also at this page.
So far I’m exploring this idea unless there’s a better way:
– Removing chance for users to interact with others’ location pages. (Hence removing auto suggest as above, in event submission form).
– I would then just present in my site only event pages, not location pages.
– Remove all evidence of location page, including link on text in single event.
– Either incorporate facility for lister to edit location via ‘edit event’ form if possible (use ‘Geo for WP’ to add geo data to post? Or similar?)
– ORRR still allow user to edit event locations via WP-Events even though location pages will be hidden everywhere else. (That ideas’s untidy as a solution – I would need to strip out most options in ‘edit locations’ as they’ll be irrelevant since no location page will ever be displayed, so I will just need title and address. Also listers with multiple events at different venues would have to manage a separate event page and location page for every event, where if I included info into event it could be done at edit event only).I’m trying to find a way to have:
Event posts searchable via addresses as per Google Maps’ instead of
Event posts attributed to location pages, as that leaves too much opportunity for duplicate locations, which I’d then have to hunt out, so as to remove and re-attribute the events. Due to the nature of my site it would not be feasible to manage it and it will leave an untidy user experience.All help and ideas appreciated!
Many thanks
