    hey,

    using this great plugin in one more way. trying to give guests the ability to create events. we are also using event organiser plugin. and the create post form.

    while its super easy to create an event, with most fields out of the box (title, body, even the CPT’s taxonomies) we have trouble mapping date fields. are there any insights?

    in the documentation there is only info about text fields. https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#post-data-field

    one more thing,

    if the create-post-form is for posts, all is good.

    if we try to create events with event-organizer, all of post statuses have a strange behaviour in the CPT backend list. the total number is ok, but you only see max 3 items on the list (for all nad published). i send two screenshots to understand it better:

    Hello @eimaste

    Just to confirm, you are talking about this Event plugin, right?
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/event-organiser/

    Forminator’s Post creation form allows you to create forms, even from different post types. But at the end, Forminator can only map the most common fields, like the Title, the content of the posts, featured image, categories or tags. I can see this Event plugin had additional fields, like a start date and end of event date; and while you can add date fields into your form, and add these fields as custom fields in the post by editing the Post Data field, I am afraid there is no way manually map these fields into the fields of the Event Post Type.

    Something like this may require custom PHP code. If you need assistance with that development, WordPress provides a jobs directory here https://jobs.wordpress.net/, if you need further advice about it, feel free to email wpsupport@incsub.com with this subject: ATTN: WPMU DEV support – wp.org

    Regarding the other issue, can you tell us more about what’s happening on your site? If the events are not visible in the list, but other posts types looks fine, it may be a bug from that plugin.

    Kind regards
    Jair

    yes this is it: https://wordpress.org/plugins/event-organiser/

    its totaly understandable that a single plugin cant handle all usecases. maybe you have an alternative event plugin thath can be mapped, to propose?

    for the second issue, just tested with a custom post type, and forminator works well, so something is buggy in event-organizer.

    thanx again for a great plugin!

    Hi @eimaste

    When it comes to alternative solutions, those will be blind shots and multiple tests which you will need to make, as we do not know all event plugins and what is most importantly in that matter, we do not know how the core of those plugins was designed when it comes to those custom fields.

    Kind Regards,
    Kris
