Author Topic: Add additional field to New Location form (Read 2774 times)

Hi,

I am trying to add a new field 'Center' to the new location form.

For example: When adding a new location for an event, I want a drop down of marketing centers the event belongs to.

Thanks

Can't you use Address Name for this purpose ?

We have added reuse of location feature in v2.2. You can check it on http://sandbox.civicrm.org

I think what clay might be asking is similar to one I asked earlier.
The ability to define locations for different types of events, and have those defined locations appear as the options automatically when defining a new event and selecting the location.

Is that what you're asking?

When you are adding a new event and click 'new location'

This is the form you get:

Address
Street Address
Street number, street name, apartment/unit/suite - OR P.O. box
Addt'l Address 1
Supplemental address info, e.g. c/o, department name, building name, etc.
City
Zip / Postal Code
Country
State/Province
Latitude, Longitude ,
Email (preferred)
Phone (preferred)

I want to add a field to that form. How can I do that? I'm not opposed to simply adding the field in the database through phpmyadmin if someone can tell me which file I need to edit to add the field to the form.

Go to New Event: http://sandbox.civicrm.org/civicrm/event/add?action=add&reset=1

Fill the form click "Continue" then you will get

Event Location (step 2 of 5)

Event Location and Contact Information
Use this form to configure the location and optional contact information for the event. This information will be displayed on the Event Information page. It will also be included in online registration pages and confirmation emails if these features are enabled.

( ) Choose Location Create new location
( )Reuse existing location

this will require changes to the schema, php and templates. If interested in this, contact us on IRC

a easier alternative might be to display and collect center information as part of the event information and extend the event via custom fields. i.e. make center a custom field in a custom group that extends event

hello,

regarding the comment below, i just checked my newly upgraded CiviCRM 2.2beta, and on the event location setup, there is no choice to either choose to create a new location or reuse an old one. please see attached screenshot.

do i need to rebuild something or turn on some admin setting?

please advise!
thanks much!!

Currently you don't get this option in Edit mode. Hence i have reopened original issue.

Thanks kurund,

i don't see this option either in New Event mode.

are others able to use this feature in 2.2beta??

thanks,

Donald Lobo · February 06, 2009, 02:19:54 pm

yes, i tested this on sandbox. You might want to check it there and ensure it works in "new" mode

I just tested in Sandbox, and it has a much different Event Location page than my installation. It shows the new Location choice feature.

I installed CiviCRM 2.2.beta1 this morning, and there is no location choice. I deleted all old files before upgrading, but I will double check my files one more time.

thanks
