HTML shows as text

[Gwyneth Moss]

Since the update my registration link is showing as text
http://www.efthelps.com/eft-courses/eft-part-one-october/

I use regonline and have put buttons in the description, they are ok, and in the event details additional fields I had a link to the registration system

the additional field is now showing this as text

How do I make it a link again?

This is happening on all of my events! HELP!

Hi Gwyneth,

Thanks for reaching out to us, and sorry about the inconvenience this might be causing to you. I’ll help you out getting this right!

Hopefully fixing this seems to be quite easy, it will require a simple template override which I’ll try to present in simple steps. If you are not familiar with this please be sure to check our Themer’s guide. Here we go:

– Inside your theme folder wp-content/themes/your_theme/ create the following folder structure: tribe-events/pro/modules/meta/.
– Make a copy of the file wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/src/views/pro/modules/meta/additional-fields.php.
– Drop the copy of the file into the just created folder: wp-content/themes/your_theme/tribe-events/pro/modules/meta/.
– Edit the file and change line 22:

// replace this 
<dd class="tribe-meta-value"> <?php echo esc_html( $value ); ?> </dd>
// with this
<dd class="tribe-meta-value"> <?php echo $value; ?> </dd>

That should be it, please let me know if you can make it work,
Best,
Nico

My developer has made these changes and the html code is still showing as text
http://www.efthelps.com/eft-courses/eft-part-one-september/

Before your upgrade this worked as a link, we have not made any changes
This happens on every event page

What next?

Hi Gwyneth,

Thanks for getting back to me.

Just tested the fix on my end and it works as expected. Can you make sure the dev had a chance to clear server cache and check that the template override is on place?

Please let me know, I’ll try to craft a different fix if this one doesn’t respond,
Thanks,
Nico

Here is the full system info, it still does not work
I can give my login password to Jake the dev and he can communicate with you directly

The html is still showing as text

Here is the message from by Dev

“Ok
I have triple checked the server path, the file structure, re copied and pasted the replacement code and have tried adding the template override both in the main themes folder and in the child folder (it’s a child theme) and the link is still showing as html. The only caching that is taking place is from WordFence, I have disabled this and cleared the cache”

Hi Gwyneth,

Thanks for following up on this and confirming everything is in place. This one is a bit tricky as I cannot reproduce it locally 🙁

Can you ask the dev to add this snippet to the theme functions.php file -located at wp-content/themes/you_theme/- ?


add_action ( 'tribe_get_custom_fields' , 'get_html_custom_fields' );

function get_html_custom_fields ( ) {
$postId = Tribe__Events__Main::postIdHelper( );
$data = array();
$customFields = tribe_get_option( 'custom-fields', false );
if ( is_array( $customFields ) ) {
foreach ( $customFields as $field ) {
$meta = get_post_meta( $postId, $field['name'], true );
if ( $meta ) {
$data[ esc_html( $field['label'] ) ] = $meta;
}
}
}
return $data;
}


Also what type of field is the ‘Registration’ additional field?

Thanks for your patience in this. I hope we can make this right soon,
Best,
Nico

Hello Nico

Before I ask my Dev to do any more (because I have to pay him) lets see if I can give you more info and you can replicate the problem or advise me how else I can get a link with link text into the event details.

Here is a screen shot of the input for the additional field https://www.dropbox.com/s/fykeee98lar2nwg/Screenshot%202015-09-15%2009.11.48.png?dl=0

Here is a screen shot of the settings of the additional field
https://www.dropbox.com/s/xkqkt1angbyb5qt/Screenshot%202015-09-15%2009.13.58.png?dl=0

And here is how the event page displays
http://www.efthelps.com/eft-courses/eft-part-two-november/

Before your recent update the html in the Registration additional field displayed as a link ‘Book Your Place’

I used a text field in the additional fields because I want to have the link text, if I use URL then the whole link is rather long and it runs over the edge of the box which looks messy

My registration system is Regonline and though I have put registration buttons in the body text I would like there to be a registration link in the event details. This did work before your update.

Hope that helps
Gwyneth

Hey Gwyneth,

Thanks for following up on this in such a detailed way 🙂

Reviewing our previous messages I made a mistake on the folder structure provided. I’m sorry for that, my bad.

Can you ask your dev to rename the ‘tribe’ folder inside your theme folder to ‘tribe-events’ and check if this solves the issue?

Please let me know if it does,
Best,
Nico

[Gwyneth Moss]

OK that works now
Thanks for owning up to error
Gwyneth

[Nico]

Hey, glad to hear this is working now Gwyneth.

Is the least I can do! Thanks for understanding 🙂

I’ll go ahead and close out this thread, but if you need help with anything else please don’t hesitate to create a new one and we will be happy to assist you.

Best of luck with your project,
Nico

[Geoff]

Hey there,
