Alter the Venue / Organizer URL

[Erin Weiffenbach]

Yes, I have searched through the support forums and found solutions, however those threads were over two years old, and the schematic for the Event Calendar 3.12.1 has changed. The codes provided in the threads doesn’t work with the current version.

I am looking to do the same thing as this instruction below however for the Venue and Organizer URLs (Link to tutorial: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/url-as-word-button/). Can you give me the correct code or an equivalent for the Organizer / Venue URL?

Best regards,
Josh S.

Hey @wsansewjs,

To modify the HTML for the Organizer URL, you’d use basically the same approach as the tutorial you linked to, but you’d use the filter tribe_get_organizer_website_link instead. To see this filter and learn how it works, and what you can customize with it via code, head to src/functions/template-tags/organizer.php in your plugin files for The Events Calendar. This function is in the file there.

Similarly, the venue URL is filterable with tribe_get_venue_website_link – head to src/functions/template-tags/venue.php to find this function and learn more about its inner workings.

Here’s a quick example that would add the class name “example-class” to the organizer link so that you could style it to look like a button or something:


add_filter( 'tribe_get_organizer_website_link', 'tribe_19028_example' );

function tribe_19028_example( $html ) {
$post_id = tribe_get_organizer_id( get_the_ID() );
$url = tribe_get_event_meta( $post_id, '_OrganizerWebsite', true );

if ( empty( $url ) ) return $html;

return sprintf( 'Custom organizer Link – style it to your liking! :)', $url );
}


Best of luck with your customizations!
