Button for Users to Add Events

[Marsha Roscoe]

If I am on a listing page showing events for a particular category, how can I display a button on this page to allow users to submit an event? For example, on this page I have a button to allow users to submit events: https://www.lss-elca.org/congregations/. How can I add that same button to this page: https://www.lss-elca.org/events/category/community/list or even this page https://www.lss-elca.org/events/category/community/?

Thanks!

Hi Marsha!

I would be happy to help you figure this out.

To add content such as a button to a particular view, you need to copy the original template from the plugin into your theme or child theme where you can modify it. See our Themer’s Guide for more information.

As far as targeting specific categories: There are not separate templates for categories, so you would need to add some conditional statements around your custom content within the template view you want to edit. For example, to add the button within the list view, you would copy and modify /list/content.php. However, I am unsure which conditionals will allow you to target a specific category. I have asked some of the more knowledgeable members of our support team about this, and I will follow up tomorrow after I’ve heard back.

Thank you for your patience.

Marsha,

I was able to find the correct conditional function thanks to one of my awesome coworkers.

To check if a certain category is selected before outputting markup into the template, you can use the following function:

has_term( 'your-category-slug', 'tribe_events_cat')


As an example if you wanted to output a message only when viewing events with the category “my-event-category”, you could do something like this:


This is the best category in the world!

";
} else {
echo "

This category is ok I guess.

";
}
?>


Let me know if this helps!

Thanks,
Sky
