Advanced List Widget customization with additional fields

[John]

I have created an additional field for events labeled “Sponsored By”. It appears quite nicely in the meta box for the individual events that actually have a sponsor.

Now the client wants that sponsor information to appear in the list view of events. I have used the [tribe_events_list] short code in a page, along with the category=”concerts-in-the-park”. I see where there are optional details that can be added in the short code, but I have not figured out how to get that additional field I created to appear in the the [tribe_events_list].

Any help?

Hi John. Thanks for your detailed question.

As an overview:

1. The shortcode comes from this file: /wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/src/Tribe/Shortcodes/Events_List.php
2. which actually just takes your shortcode arguments and runs it through /wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/src/Tribe/Advanced_List_Widget.php
3. which eventually just runs the Events List widget: /wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/src/views/pro/widgets/list-widget.php

I hope that adds some general context for your understanding of our shortcodes and widgets.

You can customize the file in #3, above, at [your-child-theme]/tribe-events/pro/widgets/list-widget.php by following our Themer’s Guide.

For example, you could customize that file to output data for the additional field(s) you want to display.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions.

Thanks Cliff.

Me and PHP, that should be an adventure!

Embarrassing, but anyone have a copy/paste solution?

Sorry, I don’t, but tribe_get_custom_fields() or tribe_get_option( ‘custom-fields’ ) might come in handy.

If you need some coding help, you may want to ask your developer or reference our documentation and list of known customizers.
