How do I add a Facebook button and link it to Facebook Event URL?

[Katherine]

I’m using the Pro and Aggregator plugins and I’d like for the List View (i.e. http://www.aqua-brew.com/calendar/) and the Single Event view (e.g. http://www.aqua-brew.com/event/bum-lucky/) to show this “RSVP on Facebook” button and have it link directly to the facebook event. We’re using Aggregator to pull in events each day from FB. I had the button added and linked via a custom field at one time, but some things have changed.

You can see my current state on the left, and ideal functionality on the right (someone else’s website). Crappy styling not withstanding.

Hey Katherine,

Thanks for getting in touch with us! I can help you here 🙂

Before I do thou I want to make sure I understand what you need correctly:

– You want to show an ‘RSVP on Facebook’ button linking to the Facebook event URL for all ‘Facebook Imported’ events. For views: list view and single event.

Is the above correct? Please let me know about it,
Best,
Nico

[Katherine]

Yes. That’s correct.

In fact, I removed the customizations to my theme so it won’t interfere with whatever instructions you’ll provide me with. My system status has changed as of today —
The website now has Event Tickets Plus, too.

Hi there Katherine,

Sorry for the delay in my reply! We don’t work during weeks + I was out at the start of the week. Will be more responsive moving forward 🙂

To add the link to ‘RSVP on Facebook’, just paste the snippet below into your theme’s (or child theme’s) functions.php file:

Most probably you won’t need the PHP opening tag (<?) and you can delete it.

Regarding the styling of the button you can go to the website from which you took the reference and copy the styles applied to the button!

Please let me know if this helps,
Best,
Nico

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
