Link from Calendar view

[Jeff]

Hello,
We have a test calendar setup here:
http://franklydifferent.com/iod1213/?post_type=tribe_events&eventDisplay=month

Our client would like to have the name of the event link to an external site to register. Essentially using just the calendar feature. We don’t need any event details on our site. If this is not possible, perhaps when you hover over a date and a pop up box appears (see my example above) we can have a link to an external site from the pop up box?

Or, if that is not possible, when you click into an event from the date, you get to a page with a short description. In that description the hyperlink I added to the content does not show. Only when you click ‘find out more’ do you then get the hyperlink. This is 2-3 clicks that we don’t need.

Is any of the above options available? Add-ons or Pro Version?
Thanks

Hi!

This is definitely possible and certainly the Additional Fields feature of PRO would be helpful in setting up a new field containing a destination URL. However, please do be aware you would still need to do some amount of customization to achieve this goal and a good working knowledge of WordPress development would be required.

So it sounds like you are describing a facet of automatically generated post excerpts – this isn’t a “bug” but simply the way WordPress works. If you don’t provide a hand crafted excerpt when writing your event the shortened excerpt is generated automatically. For a number of reasons markup is stripped out of this – but you can certainly workaround this either by customizing the templates to use the complete post content or by putting in place your own custom logic for handling excerpts.

Does that answer your questions?

Closing this out!

Please note it will no longer be monitored by staff.
