Hiding Custom Fields on Event Detail

I implemented a number of custom fields for use with virtual meetings -- Meeting LInk, Meeting Id, Meeting Password and Call-in Information. These are for use in the email that goes out to registrants and, should I have the programming time, to be included in the ICS file.

What is happening is this information, which was supposed to be secured, is being displayed on the Event Detail page under "Event Details."

How can I prevent this from happening?

EDIT: It looks like I need to modify the "display in" setting for these fields, but I'm confused about the syntax that will be needed. I have tried adding a parameter to the field as follows, but none of these seem to hide it from the Event Detail form:

display in="Both Individual and Group Registration Billing Form" (generates a syntax error, no surprise there)
displayin="Both Individual and Group Registration Billing Form"
display="Both Individual and Group Registration Billing Form"
displayin="Both Individual and Group Billing Form"

Please help! I just want these fields to be available to the user email and ICS, not the forms, anyway!

Hello

We do not have an option to allow hiding the custom fields on event details page. If you want to hide it, you will need to edit code in the file components/com_eventbooking/themes/default/common/event_properties.php to remove the fields from being displayed. The code which you should remove it:

Once the modification is done, please move the modified file to PATH_TO_TEMPLATE/html/com_eventbooking/common folder so that the change won't be lost when you update to future releases of the extension

Sorry, it's not clear to me where in the code I identify the custom fields I want to hide.

Annamarie,

If I'm not mistaken, this will not render any of the custom fields on the Extra Information tab in the Event Details section on the front end. It's all or none.

Tuan,

Just to confirm, does removing the code prevent the fields from rendering the field data so if someone were to inspect the details page they would not see the hidden data and therefore be secure?

Hello

I implemented some code to make it easier to hide event custom fields you want on event details page. Please:

- Access to My Downloads menu item, download latest package of Events Booking, upgrade to your site.

- Then go to Events Booking -> Configuration, look at Event Custom Fields tab, change the field you want to hide, add show="false" or show="0" to it and it will be hidden

For example, with the above code:

The field field_speaker will be hidden on event details page

Please do that and let us know if you need more help

Tuan

Thank you, this has addressed the issue!

Great. Thanks for confirming

Tuan

Will this be available if I go to my downloads as well? Thanks/Livius

Yes. It's available to everyone. Just access to My Downloads menu item, download latest package, upgrade it to your site to use this option

Is there a syntax for adding comments to Configuration/Custom Fields tab?
