Does PRO Calendar offer you to put a different URL link on 'Find out More'

[Daniel Iwao]

Hi, I was wondering if there is a feature on the PRO calendar where you could put in a different URL for the ‘Find Out More’ than the slug that just comes with the event when it’s created. For instance, I’d like the Find Out More button to link to a whole different website where I am hosting the event.

Thanks!

Hey Daniel,

Unfortunately, regardless of whether you have Events Calendar Pro or not, the only way to truly customize this is to write some custom code in e.g. your theme’s functions.php file.

For example, let’s say for one event you want it to link to http://google.com; for another event, you want it to link to http://bing.com; and then for any other even you just want it to link to itself as is done by default.

To achieve this, you’d write code like this in your theme’s functions.php file:


if ( function_exists( 'tribe_get_events' ) ) {
/**
* Add custom "find out more" links for given events.
*
* @link http://theeventscalendar.com/?p=1017015
*/
function tribe_support_1017015( $link, $event ) {

if ( isset( $event->ID ) && 123 == absint( $event->ID ) )
$link = 'http://google.com';

if ( isset( $event->ID ) && 456 == absint( $event->ID ) )
$link = 'http://bing.com';

return $link;
}

add_filter( 'tribe_get_event_link', 'tribe_support_1017015', 10, 2 );
}

add_filter( 'tribe_organizer_label_singular', 'party_on_wayne' );


This would make the event whose ID is 123 link to Google, and the event whose ID is 456 link to Bing; all other events will not be modified and their links will be the default.

This is basically the best way to do this, unless you got fancier with a custom meta field or something, but that is beyond the scope of the support we can provide here.

I hope this helps!

George
