Event List: Upcoming events shows venu URL instead of name

[Riza]

I have modified EC as suggested on the following thread.

Wether after the modification or not related to it, I’m not sure, the ‘Event List: Upcoming events’ widget shows the venu URL instead of the venu name when venue is selected on the wisget options. See the widget on the home page.

How can I make it show the venue name?

Hello Riza! Nice to see you again. 🙂

Will you please post the link to the thread you referenced? It doesn’t look like it came through when you published the thread and that would help give me more context for what you[re working with.

In general, if the Venue URL is printing instead of the Venue Name, you should be able to dig into the code you modified and use tribe_get_venue() to explicitly return the Venue Name.

Cheers!

Let’s try again if the link will stay inserted.

Override venue link with custom URL?

[Geoff]

Thanks for the URL! That’s super helpful.

Did the Venue Name display correctly in the widget with the snippet, then stopped working. Or did it always display the URL when you used the snippet?

What happens if you remove the snippet? Does the Venue Name show up properly?

Thanks!
Geoff

What happens if you remove the snippet? Does the Venue Name show up properly?

Yes

Hi there, Riza!

I bet that’s because the snippet targets all events, regardless of what context they are in. Please try wrapping the Venue and Organizer functions in a conditional statement that only targets the Single Event View:

// Single Events
if ( tribe_is_event() && is_single() ) {
// Rest of snippet
}

Cheers!

/*
* This changes the venue link to the venue website URL if that is set.
* NOTE: Uncomment the add_filter() line to enable this function.
*/
// Single Events
if ( tribe_is_event() && is_single() ) {
// Rest of snippet
function tribe_set_venue_website ( $link, $postId, $display, $venue_url ) {
$venue_link = tribe_get_venue_website_link( tribe_get_venue_id( $postId ) );
// Only swaps link if set and full HTML <a> link is set
if ( !empty( $venue_link ) ) {
if ( $display ) {
$link = $venue_link;
} else {
$venue_url = tribe_get_event_meta( tribe_get_venue_id( $postId ), '_VenueURL', true );
$parseUrl = parse_url( $venue_url );
if ( empty( $parseUrl['scheme'] ) ) {
$venue_url = "http://$venue_url";
}
$link = $venue_url;
}
}
return $link;
}
add_filter( 'tribe_get_venue_link', 'tribe_set_venue_website', 100, 4 ); 
}

Above broke the site. My PHP is VERY bad, may I ask you to see if I have done a syntax error?

[Riza]

FYI, the original code that works is also below:

/*
* This changes the venue link to the venue website URL if that is set.
* NOTE: Uncomment the add_filter() line to enable this function.
*/
function tribe_set_venue_website ( $link, $postId, $display, $venue_url ) {
$venue_link = tribe_get_venue_website_link( tribe_get_venue_id( $postId ) );
// Only swaps link if set and full HTML <a> link is set
if ( !empty( $venue_link ) ) {
if ( $display ) {
$link = $venue_link;
} else {
$venue_url = tribe_get_event_meta( tribe_get_venue_id( $postId ), '_VenueURL', true );
$parseUrl = parse_url( $venue_url );
if ( empty( $parseUrl['scheme'] ) ) {
$venue_url = "http://$venue_url";
}
$link = $venue_url;
}
}
return $link;
}
add_filter( 'tribe_get_venue_link', 'tribe_set_venue_website', 100, 4 );

I think you will need to add one more closing bracket before $link is returned. This seems to work on my setup:

Let me know if that helps!

[Riza]

That did it. Thank you very much.

Your support is examplrary 🙂

[Geoff]

My pleasure! I’m so glad that worked out. Thanks for following up and for the kind words as well. 🙂

Cheers!
