Customize tribe_previous_event_link?

[Patti]

Has anyone found a way to customize the output of the tribe_previous_event_link (or _next_) function other than adding text before or after it? I’ve been searching around for info, can’t find any.

What I did for right now was to add double arrow left or right in the html before or after the function, but then what happens is if there is no event before or after, I end up with the lonely little arrow all by itself. If there were a way to customize that into the function so that the arrow would display with the text, only if an event existed, that would be great.

Ex tribe_previous_event_link(‘The Text’, ‘Before Text’, ‘After Text’)

Any ideas?

Hi Patti,

You can add text or characters before or after the link text by passing in the argument like so:

tribe_previous_event_link('« %title%');

or

tribe_next_event_link('%title% »');

…and you can put anything before or after %title% you want except for actual HTML.

Does this help?

Sorry, to get the arrows above you would use « or »

Argh, it keeps removing my code. Here you go: http://snippi.com/s/81agcuj

Also, here’s a character reference page for more entities you can use: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_entities.asp
