Append information to event description post submission

[Herbert]

Is there a function available that will automatically append some data to the post_content value when an event is submitted? I know there is a post_submission function on contact form plugins I’ve used, but I can’t figure out if this is possible when creating an event with Events Calendar Pro.

Ultimately, I’d like to add the venue name or organizer name, wrapped in a div, to the end of whatever is entered in the event description…hopefully making that content searchable using the default search bar that comes with Events Calendar Pro.

Thanks!

Hi John. Thanks for your question.

Skimming through /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar-community-events/src/Tribe/Submission_Handler.php, I found 2 actions that may be of interest to you:

• tribe_community_event_created
• tribe_community_event_updated

I suspect that should get you headed in the right direction.

Please let me know how it goes for you.

Maybe I’m doing it incorrectly, but I’ve tried using both actions and they overwrite the event description with what I want to append to the end of it. Seems to have me going in the right direction, so I’ll see if I’m missing something.

Please provide me with the code you’ve tried, an example of what you want it to do, and I’ll let you know if I can help fix it for you.
