Change the 'View all events' link in the Events list Widget

[Meg Appleby]

Hi there
I am wanting to change the URL of the View all Events link in the sidebar widget. I have the widget set up to only display events in a specific category – but I want the View all Events link to take people to the full events list – not the category list.
How would I go about doing this?
Cheers
Meg

Hi Meg,

Unfortunately the code that generates that particular link is neither within a template nor is it filterable – so your best bet here would basically be to create and register your own widget.

That’s not as drastic as it sounds – you could essentially use all of the existing widget’s code and override only the widget_output() method.

It is however a tad beyond the scope of support we can offer to guide you through that one – but hopefully that gives you a few ideas to start with 🙂

Awesome … I’ll give that a shot and see what I end up with 😉
Thanks for your help!

Sure thing – if you have any specific questions that come up in the process then although we’re a bit limited as to how much support we can offer for this sort of customization, if we can prod you in the right direction we’ll happily do so 🙂

Good luck! For the time being though I’ll close this thread.
