API add_action which one for event save?

[theroad]

I’m using add_action( ‘tribe_events_event_save’, ‘sync_event’); to run a function which pushes a saved event to an outside service. The problem is that tribe_events_get_event($event_id) doesn’t pull the event metadata (like start/end dates/times) on the very first time the event is saved. I suspect I need to be using a different tribe action filter but don’t know which. Does anyone know the one I should be using which would allow immediately pulling post event metadata?

Thanks for your help!

Hey @theroad,

All of the meta isn’t saved at the point of that action, unfortunately—but you might have some better success by using the action tribe_events_update_meta instead.

add_action( 'tribe_events_update_meta', 'example_callback', 10, 2 );

Using this format, you get two arguments in that example_callback callback function, so you can do stuff like this:


function example_callback( $event_id, $data ) {
// Stuff with event_id and data....
}


We cannot help with custom coding, so you’ll have to investigate this and play around with things a bit, but if you head into that src/Tribe/API.php class file within The Events Calendar, around line 182 you will see the tribe_events_update_meta action I am describing here.

Check it out—best of luck with your tinkering!

George
