Link Back To Facebook Event

[Brandon]

I know this has been covered before and using the link below I attempted to use the code provided in a previous post

Facebook Event Times and Link Back To Event

When I copy and paste into the functions.php and reload a single events page and doesn’t load. With all the updates to The Events Calendar and Facebook Import, does this code snippet still function?

// Try to add a link to the FB event pages right before the content
add_action( 'tribe_events_single_event_before_the_content', 'link_to_fb_event' );
 
function link_to_fb_event() {
    // Check if the event is associated with a Facebook event
    $fbid = tribe_get_event_meta( get_the_ID(), '_FacebookID' );
    if ( empty( $fbid ) ) return;
 
    // Form and display a link to the FB event page if so
    $fburl = esc_url( "<a href="http://facebook.com/events/$fbid/&quot" rel="nofollow">http://facebook.com/events/$fbid/&quot</a>; );
    echo '<a href="' . $fburl . '">See this event on Facebook</a>';
}

Is there new code that will correct this or a function in the current release that I might be overlooking

Thanks for your time

Howdy Brandon,

It would seem that old code does need some tweaking. Thanks for pointing this out. I just reworked it here:

Copy/paste that into your functions.php file. You likely want to remove the first <?php line from the snippet.

Does that work for you now? Please let me know. Cheers!
