Community Event – Disable Image submission

[AKE / Imaxinar DM]

We like that you can limit to Existing Venues etc, but you do not have a way to Turn Off the ability to add images for Community Events.

Right now every Community Event Add asks for the Image.. the problem is that it creates a NEW Media image (with the corresponding 13+ copies in various sizes). The next time they want to do a new event and add a photo, it is another copy of the same image (like a logo for example). This really clutters up the system, causes excess file count and chews up disk storage.

We would like to Optionally not have them be able to Add an image. Our events work just fine without them. Even when we add an event via the Dashboard, we no longer add in an image as it just clutters up the calendar list and makes it too big.

Hi there,

I have a couple of options here for you, so firstly you could follow this forum post about Customizing the Submission form: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/customzing-event-submission-form/ But this will require you to edit a template and require a bit of coding.

Otherwise I might suggest hiding that Add Image section with some CSS:

.tribe-section.tribe-section-image-uploader {
display: none !important:
}

I hope that helps!

Interesting I will try the CSS bit late tonight and let you know, if it works it would help in the mean time. I will post a feature suggestion in the Support area as well.
