How to get a 'sign up' button on every event page

[Barbara]

Hi there,

I’m starting to fill up my event calendar and since we aren’t using any ticketing-addons yet (and don’t want to at the moment), I want to add a general ‘sign up’ button which refers to our sign up page.

For example, check out http://triggr.nu/do-in-yoga/. This is the current way of portraying our events. Very basic and prehistoric, I know, but it works. The ´Schrijf je in!´ button equals the Sign-up button I want to have (or something similar) on every event page. The button can be the same on every event page (except obviously the month/list etc views, I just want the button on the pages about the events themselves), and it needs to link to http://triggr.nu/schrijf-je-in/

I would like to have the button located here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/40271012/eventscal/tribe2.png (the red box)

How can I achieve this?

Thanks,
Hans

Hi Hans and welcome back to the forums. 🙂

One way to do that would be to use the additional fields feature in PRO, which you already have installed. That allows you to add custom information to your events (including links).

Here’s an article that covers additional fields in much more detail.

Will that do the trick and work for you? Please let me know.

Cheers!

Hi Geoff,

Thanks for your swift reply. That will not do however, I want it to be a clear button that they can click on, not just a link somewhere in the event details.

Can that be done?

Best regards,
Hans

Sure! Another way to go about it is to override the single-event.php file and add the button there so it always displays. Similarly, you could grab the additional field using the tribe_get_custom_field() function and putting that in the template where you would like it to display, then style it as a button in CSS.

Here’s more information on how template overrides work, including step-by-step instructions:

Hi Geoff,

Thanks for your reply. I don’t know much about CSS and don’t know how to safely do this myself. Is this something you can help with?

Hi Hans,

I’m afraid we’re unable to provide custom development support here in the forums. I’d be happy to help answer questions you run into along the way as best I can, or at least point you in the right direction.

We also have a list of freelancers who might be available to help out, if you would prefer that route.

Thanks!
Geoff
