Event Specific Template

[David Ruszkowski]

Hello, I am looking to make a single event template that is only used for a specific event. Mt thinking would be that I would just create another single-event.php file with a name with something like this: single-event-event-slug.php or single-event-ID.php. The event-slug or ID being the slug or ID of the event the template is for. Am I correct in this approach or is it set up differently?

Thanks so much,
Dave

Hey there, Dave! Welcome back to the forums. 🙂

Good question! The way I would go about it is to override the single-event.php template and wrap it in a PHP condition like:

// Replace $id with a specific event post ID
<?php if ( tribe_is_event( $id ) ) {
// Event-specific stuff
}
else {
// All normal layout stuff
} ?>

That’s just a rough idea, so tweak it as needed, but it should help get you off the ground. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

Thanks for the reply… it is working however it showing on every event post. I am displaying an audio player on a page that is specific to a concert with a shortcode. I wonder what I am missing? Here is what I added to single-event.php.

<?php if ( tribe_is_event( '842' ) ) {
echo do_shortcode('[wonderplugin_audio id="1"]');
}
else {} ?>

The event post ID is 842, if it is not that id, nothing should be displayed. I know I can just add the shortcode in the WordPress editor, but I need it in a specific place on the page, above the title.

Ah, gotcha. If that’s the case, perhaps you can try using the same sort of condition, but hook into the tribe_events_before_html() function. This would allow you to inject the shortcode above the header without actually touching the template.

Here’s a rough example to get you started, in case it helps. 🙂

Cheers!

I found a different plugin with a player that fits better right in the WordPress editor so I not going to use this method. Thanks for the help, though as I am sure it will be helpful at some point down the road.

Thanks again,
Dave
