Add new button next to Google and ical buttons.

Hi, how do I add a button with a custom link next to the google and ical buttons on event details page? Is this possible? Thanks!

Hello there, Phillip! Thanks for getting in touch and welcome to the forums. We hope you’re enjoying the plugins so far. 🙂

One of the nice features of plugin is the ability to customize any template by overriding it in your theme. If you haven’t already checked it out, I’d highly suggest reading our Themer’s Guide for a thorough overview of how template overrides work.

In this case, it sounds like you want to customize the the single-event.php template. To do this:

• Make a copy of the file (it’s located at /plugins/the-events-calendar/views/single-event.php)
• Make a new folder in your theme directory called tribe-events
• Drop the copied file in that folder

Now that the template is in your theme files, you can customize it to suit your needs. The buttons are added on Line 63:

<?php do_action( 'tribe_events_single_event_after_the_content' ) ?>

(BTW, another way to add your content would be to hook into that function.)

Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions as you customize the template.

Cheers!
Geoff
