How do I remove «description» and «categories» from the Event template in admin?

Is it possible to remove «description» and «categories» from the Event template in admin? I like to hide this forms from admin. But I can´t find the right template.

Thank you!

You can't remove those - they're fixed fields.

Is it possible to reorder these fields?

Thanks.

Hi Stig,

We can however 'hide' those fields on the Events edit page. Here's how:

Find the file perch/addons/plugins/ui/_config.inc (or create it if it doesn't exist) and add this line to it:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/perch/addons/plugins/ui/my_js_file.js"></script>

Then create a file in the same folder called my_js_file.js (if it doesn't exist already) and add this to it:

if ($("h1").text().indexOf('Editing an Event') !== -1) {
  $("label:contains('Description')").closest("div").hide();
  $("div.field:contains('Categories')").hide();
}
