Convert additional field (URL) into a button on the single event template

[Webmaster]

Hi,

I’ve created an additional field (a URL field) for users to complete when adding an event. I’d like this additional field to display on the single event page as a button with the title ‘Photo gallery’ if a URL has been entered in the field.

Previously there was a post/page explaining how buttons can be created for additional fields like this, but it seems to have disappeared – would you be able to tell me how I might be able to achieve this?

Thank you

Hi @webmaster,

This is possible but would unfortunately require some custom coding – I would recommend getting familiar with the custom templating system within The Events Calendar by reading this guide: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

You could then use those principles to achieve this:

I’d like this additional field to display on the single event page as a button with the title ‘Photo gallery’ if a URL has been entered in the field.

I unfortunately cannot find the article or page you’re referring to that explains this in more detail 🙁

Sorry to disappoint about this last point – but best of luck with your customizations!

Sincerely,
George
