Add custom field to meta list on right in list view

[Lynne]

How would I modify what is displayed in the meta list on the right side in the calendar list view? Specifically, I want to add my custom field, and get rid of the venue.

Hi Lynne. The custom field should be added automatically if you’ve configured it appropriately under Settings -> The Events Calendar. Have you tried that?

On the venue aspect: are you saying you want to have the event tied to a venue, but not have that venue data appear anywhere within the single entry? If you just wanted an event without a venue, not assigning a venue should cause the “Venue” meta box to disappear upon publication.

It is showing up in the expanded view of the entry, but not in the condensed view on the first screen.

Click on second item “Understanding where you are in the value chain” to get:

How do you specify that you want the custom field (Room) and the category (Small Business) in the condensed view?

[Rob]

Ah, so you want that additional meta data to appear in list view. Got it. Does Jonah’s suggestion in this thread (https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/displaying-custom-field-attributes-on-frontend-in-custom-template-file/page/2/#post-13807) get you what you need along those lines, or at least push you in the right direction? Let me know if not and I can get Jonah to take a look here directly.

Where would I put the custom field function to get it to show up in that condensed list view? This is what Jonah mentioned using this below, but I’m not sure what file, etc. to use it in.

$custom_field = tribe_the_custom_fields(‘FieldLabel’);

[Rob]

Thanks for the follow-up, Lynne. Not sure about the answer to that myself but let’s see if Jonah can offer up any suggestions. I’ve asked him to chime in directly if he does.

Hi Lynne, you would want to override /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/views/list.php – put a duplicate copy of that in an ‘events’ folder in your theme and customize away!
