Delete privacy from events

I want to get rid of the privacy block on the BxEventsFormAdd.php page (see picture)

Solution By AlexT:

I would suggest to not delete this block, but replace it with hidden values, which are public by default.

To do this you need to replace the following code in modules/boonex/events/classes/BxEventsFormAdd.php file near ~388 line:

                // privacy

                'header_privacy' => array(
                    'type' => 'block_header',
                    'caption' => _t('_bx_events_form_header_privacy'),
                ),

                'allow_view_event_to' => $GLOBALS['oBxEventsModule']->_oPrivacy->getGroupChooser($iProfileId, 'events', 'view_event'),

Hi Alex,

Thanks for that explanation, I did as you suggested, but still the option "Allow joining by membership" is shown on the page. And that's exactly the one I was struggling with to have it disappeared.

My answer was too fast ...

I also changed next :

'EventMembershipFilter' => array(

                    'type' => 'hidden',

                    'name' => 'EventMembershipFilter',

                    'caption' => _t('_bx_events_caption_membership_filter'),

                    'info' => _t('_bx_events_info_membership_filter'),

                    'values' => $aMemberships,

                    'value' => '',

                    'checker' => array (

                        'func' => 'preg',

                        'params' => array('/^[0-9a-zA-Z]*$/'),

                        'error' => _t ('_bx_events_err_membership_filter'),

Thanks for your support !

"Allow joining by membership" is for admins only, it isn't displayed regular users.
