Event link to WP Post

[Gary]

Hi there, I recently purchased your Events Calendar Pro and installed it into my current site. I have an issue with the posts that I have already created & styled according to the theme. Once I create the event through Event Cal Pro – this creates a new page that has content etc but not styled accord to the rest of my theme.

I would like the ability to create the event then link to the current WP post already created rather. Please can you assist with this.

Thanks,

Gary

Hi,

Thanks for purchasing Pro. I can try to help out, but we are limited in helping on customizations.

I would like the ability to create the event then link to the current WP post already created rather.

There is no feature to do this in the Calendar. It could be possible to add links into the Events Content area to the post.

If you are looking to style the events calendar closer to your theme it is all css so you could add new ones to your theme to get it how you would like.

I am not sure I have anything else for you, but if you have any questions please let us know.

Thanks

Hi Brian,

thank you for your reply. if I wanted to link to a link within the calendar, would I be able to link with something like ” title=”<?php the_title(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?>

Have tried the above but its not calling the /category_name/ into the url

If you look at the url provided, what I am wanting to do is update the main slider content to link to the relevant event page…

Any feedback I would appreciate.

Thanks.

I looked at your site, but not sure what you mean by this:

if I wanted to link to a link within the calendar, would I be able to link with something like ” title=”<?php the_title(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?>

Have tried the above but its not calling the /category_name/ into the url

I am not sure how the slider is setup or exactly where you are trying to link to with it.

Let me know and I can try to help out.

Thanks

Hey Brian, thanks for getting back to me, been racking my brain on this, purchased another plugin which didnt work for me so back to tweaking again.
What I have done now is made the calendar display in photo mode so users will see a picture with event name and date. What I want to achieve with this is be able to click the photo or title and goto a WP post that has been created for the event rather than the calendar event itself.

I hope this makes sense. I am not a developer so am hacking my way through here :S

Cheers,

I also have the CountDown timer in place on the right sidebar and am wanting this to open a WP post as well. I have been trying to link to post but without success unfortunately.

You help and advice is appreciated.

thanks,

Unfortunately, we are limited in the support we can provide with customizations, I can try to point you in the right direction on these.

To make modifications to the Photo View or the Countdown Widget you can follow our themer’s guide:

https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

As for the files to edit for Pro the files you can move and edit are in this directory:

events-calendar-pro\views\pro\

We do not have a way to add a custom link to a post, but you might try adding a custom field to the single event edit and then in the themplates change the link to that custom field.

WordPress has a bunch of stuff on custom fields here:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Fields

And you could look to use a plugin like Advanced Custom Fields to do much of the heavy coding.

That is about all we have for this, might be able to answer another question, but for the most part you will have to take it from here.

Thanks

Hi Brian,

Thank you for all the assistance with this. Good idea to create custom template folders for the files I tweak so that I can still update the plugin. I have just tried to implement the above for the widget countdown. Unfortunately not displaying the results. Am I missing something?

Created a folder tribe-events/pro/lib and copied widget-countdown.class.php which I modified the following:
<div style=”border:3px solid red;”><h3>‘ . esc_attr($event->post_title) . ‘</h3></div>

Once I have the sorted, I will apply to all the files that I tweak.

thanks,

[Brian]

Only files in these two directories are able to be moved and changed in your theme:

\events-calendar-pro\views\pro\

\the-events-calendar\views\

Thanks Brian, I installed a 301 redirect which got it working.

cheers,

[Brian]

I am glad to see you were able to figure it out.

I am going to go ahead and close this ticket as you marked it resolved. If you have a similar issue or another in the future, please do not hesitate to create a new ticket.

Thanks!
