Add meta data from other posts to event in week view

[Matthias]

Hey there

I have a calendar with several events in a week view. Now I wanted to add additional information to the event:

– A “Buy” button for the attached ticket from your ticket plugin
– A String that is coming from another post, that is related to the event post. The post id of this other post is saved in the events post metadata

So far I tried to catch this additional data in the single-event.php. But somehow I can’t catch it. What is a good way to get this information into the events?

Thanks,
Matthias

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugins. I can help out here.

We are limited in supporting customizations, but I can help you get started.

I found this thread that goes over the Process of adding content there, that might be able to help you out:

Add Organizer, Venue and Price info to tooltips in Week and Month view

I can try to help out with a couple more questions from here, but unable to provide all the coding for a customizations.

Thanks

Hey Brian

Thanks for your answer. I included the plugin that should expand the entries of the json file with the additional event information. And I also changed the tooltip.php to display the additional information. But there is nothing showing up in the tooltip. How is this templating system working. And where would be a good point to debug the additional information?

Thanks,
Matthias

Hi,

For a reference of our template system please review the themer’s guide:

https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/template-overview/

As well as the contents of this file have a good guide to it:

plugins/events-calendar-pro/src/views/pro/week/single-event.php

I changed things around a bit from that snippet to just overwrite the file directly and I added this to my child theme’s functions.php:


class TEC_Forum_9453495 {
public static $ID = 9453495;
public static $_instance = null;
public function __construct(){
add_filter( 'tribe_events_template_data_array', array( __CLASS__, 'template_data_array' ), 10, 3 );
}
public static function instance(){
if ( ! is_a( self::$_instance, __CLASS__ ) ) {
self::$_instance = new self();
}
return self::$_instance;
}
public static function template_data_array( $json, $event, $additional ){
$json['venue'] = '';
$json['organizer'] = '';
$json['price'] = '';
$venue = tribe_get_venue_id( $event );
if ( $venue ){
$json['venue'] = $venue;
$json['venue_link'] = tribe_get_venue_link( $venue, false );
$json['venue_title'] = tribe_get_venue( $venue );
}
$organizer = tribe_get_organizer( $event );
if ( $organizer ){
$json['organizer'] = $organizer;
}
if ( function_exists( 'wootickets_init' ) && false === true ){
$tickets = TribeWooTickets::get_instance()->get_tickets_ids( $event );
if ( ! empty( $tickets ) ){
$min = PHP_INT_MAX;
$max = -1;
foreach ( $tickets as $ticket ) {
$ticket = TribeWooTickets::get_instance()->get_ticket( $event, $ticket );
$min = min( array( $min, $ticket->price ) );
$max = max( array( $max, $ticket->price ) );
}
if ( $min == $max ){
$json['price'] = wc_price( $min );
} else {
$json['price'] = 'from ' . wc_price( $min ) . ' to ' . wc_price( $max );
}
}
}
return $json;
}
}
TEC_Forum_9453495::instance();


Then I replaced the contents of this file:

themes/child/tribe-events/pro/week/tooltip.php

With this:


<?php

/**
*
* Please see single-event.php in this directory for detailed instructions on how to use and modify these templates.
*
*/

?>

<script type="text/html" id="tribe_tmpl_tooltip">
<div id="tribe-events-tooltip-[[=eventId]]" class="tribe-events-tooltip">

[[=title]]

<div class="tribe-events-event-body">
<div class="duration">
<abbr class="tribe-events-abbr updated published dtstart">[[=dateDisplay]] </abbr>
</div>
[[ if(imageTooltipSrc.length) { ]]
<div class="tribe-events-event-thumb">

</div>
[[ } ]]
[[ if(excerpt.length) { ]]
<p class="entry-summary description">[[=raw excerpt]]</p>
[[ } ]]
[[ if(venue) { ]]
<div class="entry-venue">Venue: [[=venue_title]]</div>
[[ } ]]
[[ if(organizer) { ]]
<div class="entry-organizer">Organizer: [[=raw organizer]]</div>
[[ } ]]
[[ if(price) { ]]
<div class="entry-price">Price: [[=raw price]]</div>
[[ } ]]
<span class="tribe-events-arrow"></span>
</div>
</div>
</script>


That showed the content (venue and organizer ) for me in the Week View Tooltip.
