Default event title

[Luke]

Hi I am trying to set a default title for all new events but can’t seem to get it working as I need.

I have the following code to set the default title of all new posts, regardless of post type. So this works for posts and events, whereas I just need it to work for events.

add_filter( 'default_title', 'my_editor_content' );

function my_editor_content( $content ) {

	$content = "This is some custom content I'm adding to the post editor because I hate re-typing it.";

	return $content;
}

I tried the following but it didn’t work and I’m not sure where I went wrong as I think this should work.

add_filter( 'default_title', 'my_editor_content' );

function my_editor_content( $content ) {
if( get_post_type() == 'tribe_events' ) {

	$content = "This is some custom content I'm adding to the post editor because I hate re-typing it.";

	return $content;
}
}

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi there Luke,

Thanks for reaching out to us on this. Hopefully there’s a nice snippet George crafted for this:

https://gist.github.com/ggwicz/b8a6bceaba0edd9efa2a

You can download the file and install it as a plugin or just copy the code over to your functions.php file

Please give that a try and let me know,
Best,
Nico

Hi Nico,

Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately I don’t think that snippet achieves what I am looking to do.

I need to set the default title of all new events created to some custom text. So when I create a new event I need the title to already be filled out.

For example: http://justintadlock.com/archives/2009/04/05/how-to-preset-text-in-the-wordpress-post-editor

I have the code that works on all post types, but I can’t figure out how to get it working only for events.

Hey Luke,

Thanks for clarifying, I was completely miss-understanding your request here, sorry for that!

Please give this snippet a try and let me know if it does the trick now:

add_filter( 'default_title', 'events_default_title', 10, 2 );
function events_default_title( $title , $post ) {
if( $post->post_type == 'tribe_events' ) {
$title = "Pre-set title for events";
}
return $title;
}


Cheers,
Nico

Thanks Nico, that worked great.

Glad to hear Luke 🙂 Sorry for the initial miss understanding!

I’ll go ahead and close out this thread, but if you need help with anything else please don’t hesitate to create a new one and we will be happy to assist you.

Best,
Nico
