How add additional fields in event-list-widget

[Rainer Klar]

Hi there,
although I studied a lot of threads and tutorials, I can’t get the clou of it.
I want to display an additional field – event format – in my event-list widget.

I copied already wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/views/widgets/list-widget.php to a new created directory following a tutorial:
/wp-content/themes/lifestyle-pro/tribe-events/pro/

And now I don’t know how to modify the file.
Would you please show me the needed code?

thank you very much in advance!

kind regards,
Dan-cer

Hi, Rainer.

Thanks for your detailed question. It looks like you’re on the right track, although I’d make sure that you’re using a child theme to avoid losing your tribe_events directory when you do a theme update.

Could you please provide a link to an event that has this Additional Field added to it? Although we don’t help with such customizations, per our Scope of Support / Terms, it might help me advise you in this area.

Hi Cliff,
yes of course – here is the link.

On the bottom of the page above the footer you will find the Additional Field “Veranstaltungsformat
Tages-Seminar”.
On the right sidebar you will find the events-list. Look for

Geistige und körperliche Entschlackung
14. Oktober, 09:30 bis 18:30

I want to have “Tages-Seminar” displayed there.

If I understand that page’s content correctly, you might be trying to override the wrong file.

Please try overriding /wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/src/views/pro/widgets/modules/single-event.php instead

As far as how to get Additional Fields data for an event, please reference tribe_get_custom_fields()

Please let me know how this goes for you.

Hi Cliff,

thank you for your suggestions. I found the files, but don’t know, what exact code I should add to /wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/src/views/pro/widgets/modules/single-event.php

On the page you linked is just Function: tribe_get_custom_fields
and
array tribe_get_custom_fields ( int $postId = null )

But that doesn’t seem complete code to me.

kind regards,
Rainer

They are incomplete; you need to reference those functions for what you choose as the best way to implement this customization. Referencing this snippet might be helpful to get you started.

If there’s a code snippet you’d like me to put some eyes on or something else I can help you with.

[Rainer Klar]

Hi Cliff,
I tried to modify your snippet to my certain modified-field:

<?php
/**
 * for theeventscalendar/specific-additional-fields/
 *
 */
function tribe_get_custom_fields( $data ) {
	
	$field_name = 'Veranstaltungsformat';
	array( $data )
}
add_filter( 'tribe_get_custom_fields' );

Is that correct? I have no idea about setting ‘array’, I just copy any codes given to me. In this case the field-name is ‘Veranstaltungsformat’. This field should be displayed in the calendar-widgets.

I really appreciate your effort, but I can tell the code is malformed.

Additionally, there’s a bit more you’d need to do to accomplish what you’re wanting (e.g. targeting just a specific widget’s output).

You may want to ask your developer or reference our documentation and list of known customizers.
