Adding a repeating field to an event

[Dan]

Hi,

we need to add sponsors to an event. Each sponsors can be simply implemented by adding a group of repeating fields ( url, image, text ). I couldn’t see any option to do this, should I simply implement everything in code myself?

Hey Dan,

Thanks for reaching out!

This “sponsors” field you are referring to is not anything that our plugins generate themselves, and so it must be coming from some other plugin on your site or from your theme.

So, yes—you will unfortunately have to custom-code some version of this to work with events.

We unfortunately cannot help with customizations, so I would recommend that you reach out to the plugin author whose plugin adds these fields to see if there is a simple way to go about adding these fields to Events. It may be possible to just add the features to custom post types; if so, the post type slug for Events Calendar events is tribe_events.

Cheers!

Hi Dan, “sponsors” was just a way to get context, we are not using any third party plugin, we just add some code ourselves. I see that there is an option to add fields, but I would need to add a group of repeating fields. Probably https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/ would work but I would not like to bring in too many dependancies. I’ll see what I can do in code, thanks.

Thanks for the follow-up, Dan—best of luck with your customizing!
