Conditionally display tribe_get_venue if venue exists

[Sean Sullivan]

Hello:

We have a loop that outputs:

Event Name
Date | Venue

To do so, I’m using something like this:

<?php the_title();?>
<?php echo tribe_get_start_date();?> | <?php tribe_get_venue();?>

However, not all events have a location. Those are showing up like so:

Event Name
Date |

Darn that pesky “|”!

How can I display tribe_get_venue *only* if it has a value?

Thank you.

Hey @Sean,

tribe_get_venue() will return NULL if there is no venue – you can just check if its return value is NULL in a variable and display different things based on that. A basic example would be something like this:


$venue = tribe_get_venue( get_the_ID() );

if ( is_null( $venue ) ) {
// There's no venue...do relevant stuff.
echo '';
} else {
// There is a venue! Echo $venue or whatever you want like normal.
echo '| ' . $venue;
}


I hope this helps – tinker around with this and see if it does.

Thanks,
George

Perfect! Thanks George.

Right on! Best of luck with your project and tinkering here – I’ll close up this thread for now, but come back any time and open a new thread if other issues/comments/questions/concerns arise.

Thank you,
George
