How to display that search results are an event

[Kelly]

Hi there. Looking for a bit of PHP help. I am building a search results page right now. When a user searches for a term, I want to be able to display what type of results are shown. I’m able to do this with the regular WP pages using <?php the_category(); ?>, but I can’t figure out how to call it for events. I don’t need the Event’s category itself. I’d just like to be able to list “EVENT” next to the result.

Thanks so much 🙂

Howdy dotwongdotcom,

The function tribe_is_event() is probably what you are looking for. If you are ever looking for something similar, checkout that link. In the left hand pane you will find a full list of all the various functions available.

Did that work for you? Please let me know. Thanks!

That’s the one! Thanks. My knowledge of PHP mostly comes from common sense, so a bit of guidance is very helpful. I appreciate it.

I understand that. Before getting trained in PHP and picking up some books I was doing edits using common sense as well. I am glad it worked!

By the way, if you have a minute or two, we will love it if you would write a few words for us here: http://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/the-events-calendar?filter=5. Happy site building!
