    Hi there,

    I try to turn my attributes and the category dialog into required fields. I’m using the follogwing code in the them functions.php: 

    function em_validate($result, $EM_Event){
 if (!is_user_logged_in() && $_REQUEST['user_name'] == ''){
  $EM_Event->add_error('guest name is required...');
  $result = false;
 }
 return $result;
}
add_filter('em_event_validate','em_validate', 1, 2);

    But it doesn’t work. When I try to fill out a submission form and then klick on “submit” the screens stays white. Does anybody know, what is going wrong?

    Thanks a lot, Thowe

    Hi Thowe,

    Are you testing this while logged in?

    Hi caimin,

    thanks, that was the mistake. But, when I now fill out the required field and then klick submit. The error-message still appears?

    Just to check, the required field is definitely called user_name and not username? That’s caught me out a few times.

    if you wanted to make categories required; you can add this in your snippet above

    $categories = $EM_Event->categories->categories;
if (!is_user_logged_in() && empty($categories) ){
 $EM_Event->add_error('please choose categories...');
 $result = false;
}

    Hi Guys,

    thanks a lot for your answers. But, both codes are not working for me.

    When I’m using the first code in the theme functions.php, the error message appears, so to this point, it works. But when I fill out the attribute, then the error still appears after clicking on the submission button. I’m sure I spelled the attribute name the right way in the theme functions.php.

    When I use the second code for categories in the theme functions.php the screen of my homepage stays white.

    hmm, works for me; you can try to turn-on WP_DEBUG to check what is the error why it turns white or check your php logs.

    Hi Angelo,

    I turned on the debug mode. This are the error messages for the category code:

    Notice: Undefined variable: EM_Event in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/wp-content/themes/attitude/functions.php on line 155

    Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/wp-content/themes/attitude/functions.php on line 155

    Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/wp-content/themes/attitude/functions.php on line 155

    and thats the Line 155:

    $categories = $EM_Event->categories->categories;

    Hi Angelo,

    thanks a lot for the support. I pasted in the correct snippet. But know I got another error, although I filled out the required attribute:

    Notice: Undefined index: Ansprechpartner: in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/wp-content/themes/attitude/functions.php on line 156

    And this is the code:
    if (!is_user_logged_in() && $_REQUEST['Ansprechpartner:'] == ''){

    hmm, just remove the block 

    if (!is_user_logged_in() && $_REQUEST['Ansprechpartner:'] == ''){
........
}

    and then else {.....}

    just used this snippet

    $categories = $EM_Event->categories->categories;
if (!is_user_logged_in() && empty($categories) ){
 $EM_Event->add_error('please choose categories...');
 $result = false;
}

    Hi Angelo,

    but then only the categories are required. But I want both, attributes and categories.

    I see, you can combined the snippet with this thread – http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-events-manager-how-to-make-an-event-attribute-required?replies=7
