Override possible for Speaker Plugin

Hi

I use the speaker Plugin. There I have a field called "Description". Now I want to use this field but in Frontend not display the information entered there.
Reason: I use another Tool to get this information from database and I display it for a special user group only.

I could edit the speakers.php, removing this code:
But on an update of EB it will get lost.
Is it possible to do with an Override or a Copy of the file?

It would be great if assigning access level to this field is possible

Thanks!

Hi Patrick

Update your site to latest version of Events Booking, then you can override the output. On latest version, the layout file is located at components/com_eventbooking/themes\default\plugins/speakers.php

As any other layout files, I can be overridden using template override

Hi Tuan and thanks

I did try but in Templates > Overrides the Themes folder is not available(?)

Thanks.

We use different structure compare Joomla! core, so Templates Overrides tool did not work

You will have to copy file manually via FTP to PATH_TO_TEMPLATE/html/com_eventbooking/plugins folder manually

Hi Tuan, is it possible to do something similar with "dates plugin" The one used to add additional dates to an event. I need to override the file "dates.php" in the main folder of the plugin, but I don't find the way.
Thanks

Hi Digigreg

Exactly what you want to change? Please let us know so that we can understand and see if we can come up with an option

Hi Tuan,
I wanted to change some behaviour of the plugin, in this case the way it rename the children events (like it does with aliases).

So, to avoid problems to update the component, I copied the plugin, assigning it another name "datesmod" and then I've done my modifications.

In case you will make it overraidable somehow, i will bring back the modifications on the override file of original plugin.

Thanks for the support.
Kind regards,
Gregorio

If the modification is for layout, I could make it overridable. But for changing the logic like that, creating and using a new plugin as you did is the right approach
