How to open Google Calendar link in a new tab

[Brian]

Hi,

Client wants the Google Calendar to open in a new tab, on a single event page like http://841.ab2.mwp.accessdomain.com/event/lafayette-boot-camp/ .

I thought to rework and apply the code in venue.php, to ical.php, but no dice:

	function tribe_get_gcal_link( $post_id = null, $label = null ) {
		$url = tribe_get_gcal_link_url( $post_id );

		if ( ! empty( $url ) ) {
			$label = is_null( $label ) ? $url : $label;
			if ( ! empty( $url ) ) {
				$parseUrl = parse_url( $url );
				if ( empty( $parseUrl['scheme'] ) ) {
					$url = "http://$url";
				}
			}
			$html = sprintf(
				'<a href="%s" target="%s">%s</a>',
				esc_attr( esc_url( $url ) ),
				apply_filters( 'tribe_get_gcal_link_target', '_blank' ),
				apply_filters( 'tribe_get_gcal_link_label', esc_html( $label ) )
			);
		} else {
			$html = '';
		}

		return apply_filters( 'tribe_get_gcal_link', $html );
	}

Which returns this error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function tribe_get_gcal_link_url() in /home/content/p3pnexwpnas15_data02/33/3250433/html/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/functions/template-tags/ical.php on line 4

So we have to define a function, but this is where I go off the rails. Any ideas to help get this back on track?

Thanks in advance,

Hey Brian,

Thank you for choosing PRO and welcome to the forums! Try editing line 76 on /the-events-calendar/src/Tribe/ical.php. Add in target=”_blank” and you should be good to go.

Let me know how it works out and have a great rest of the weekend. Cheers!

Yep, all set Hunter. Thanks!

echo '<a class="tribe-events-gcal tribe-events-button" href="' . Tribe__Events__Main::instance()->esc_gcal_url( tribe_get_gcal_link() ) . '" title="' . esc_attr__( 'Add to Google Calendar', 'the-events-calendar' ) . '" target="_blank"' . ' >+ ' . esc_html__( 'Google Calendar', 'the-events-calendar' ) . '</a>';
