Happening right now conditional

[Beth]

Is there a way to have a conditional tag that shows a button on the single event page template if the event is already underway? I have already set up if (tribe_event_in_category('my-category-slug')) { /* Do something */ } which is really great. We live stream events in this category’s events and I would like to have a “watch live” button show up once the event is underway and have it change to “watch archive” once it passes. http://www.arbor.edu/event/chapel-jeff-shinabarger/

Hi Peter,

We don’t have a specific function for this but it’s a great idea and I would suggest requesting it here: http://tribe.uservoice.com/ – for now though you should be able to put something together using https://theeventscalendar.com/support/documentation/the-events-calendar-template-tags-date-functions/#functiontribe_get_start_date and comparing that against the current time which you can get with PHP.

Does that help?

[Beth]

Yes. That gives me something to build around. Thanks!

Sounds good Peter, let us know if there’s anything else you need help with.
