Events page month view: How to schow city after event title?

[Rafael]

Hello support,
On the events page on the calendar (month view) only the events titles are displayed. Can I also have the events cities displayed after the title? Or at least in the hover-bubble?

Hi Again!

I can try to point you in the right direction on this customization.

It is possible to add the city name there.

If you Follow our Themer’s Guide:

https://theeventscalendar.com/support/documentation/events-calendar-themers-guide/

It will show you how to move the files over to edit.

You will want to look at these two files for the changes:

/the-events-calendar/views/month/single-event.php

/the-events-calendar/views/month/tooltip.php

That should get you started and you can take it from here.

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks

Thanks Brian. I understand the premise of the Themer’s Guide and how to move and edit template files. I’ve looked at the files you pointed me to, but I’m not a programmer and don’t quite understand the instructions in the template:
/the-events-calendar/views/month/single-event.php
However, I do see where in that template I would need to add the code to display the city after the event title. All I need is the actual function call to retrieve and display the city. Maybe it’s something like:
<?php echo tribe_get_event_location() ?> ?
Can you help with that specific code to display the event city?

[Brian]

Ok sounds good. I can help with that.

So the City is saved as a WordPress Custom Field called:

_VenueCity

So you could use WordPress’s get_post_meta() function and this function to get the venue id: (post id for the venue for an event)

tribe_get_venue_id()

Let me know if that helps

Thanks
