A hook to add custom link in events calendar page

[Linards]

Is it possible to add a custom link or content somewhere inside the Events calendar (not a PRO version) page container? Maybe a hook to add a link/extra button below calendar container?

Thanks

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. I’d be happy to help with your question.

It is indeed possible to add content within the calendar output. All of our plugins use a templating system that makes it easy to customize specific views. To create a custom template, you simply copy the original template file from the plugin into your child theme in a “tribe-events” folder, and the custom template will be used in place of the original.

You can find out more information about this process here: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

We also use WordPress hooks and filters extensively throughout the templates, so it may also be possible to add content from your functions.php file.

If you can provide a detailed description and/or a screenshot of where you would like to add your custom content, I will help you figure out which template or hook you need to accomplish it.

Thanks,
Sky

Thanks for the reply Sky,

I would like to hook a custom html link just below ul.tribe-events-sub-nav – the previous-next links. I just need a function to hook the content there and I will style all the CSS myself.

Hi again,

That element is used on multiple templates, sometimes more than once on the page. Could you be more specific? Are you wanting to add content to the main calendar page or the single event page? If the main calendar page, which view(s) do you want the content to show on? ie, “month” “list” etc.

Thanks,
Sky

Hi,

I would like it on all pages where they are displayed. Below the yellow line on the screenshot. https://imgur.com/YkPtTXN

Preferably on month day and list pages.

Hi again,

Thanks for the additional information.

To output content in that spot on all the main calendar pages, you could use one of the existing action hooks.

Here is an example to get you started:


add_action('tribe_events_after_header', 'my_custom_content', 100);
function my_custom_content() {
echo "Here is my custom content!";
}


Just add that code to your theme/child-theme’s functions.php file and replace the content with what you need.

Hope that helps! Please let me know if you have additional questions about this.

Thanks,
Sky
