Link in the admin’s notification email

[Rafael]

Hello support
When users submit a community event the admin is notified. In the notification email to the admin there’s a link to the submitted event. This link leads to the “front-end” editor of the event (the same interface as the user had who submitted the event).

Wouldn’t it make much more sense to have the link lead directly to the “back-end” of the event, that is to the WordPress editor?

So instead of:
http://www.mywebsite.com/events/submit/edit/event/postid/
have the link lead to:
http://www.mywebsite.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=postid&action=edit

That’s what I’d like to do. Can you help me with it?

[Casey]

Thanks for stopping by, and I’ll see if I can help you out. I’ve submitted this request to one of developers to take a look at, so please stand by while I wait to hear back their response.

Thanks!

[Casey]

Just got a response. It looks like we don’t have a convenient filter to allow you to easily change the link. However, you should be able to write some code to filter on ‘wp_mail’ to modify the link that is sent.

I know that’s not an ideal solution, but if you’re looking for an easier built-in way to do this, please suggest a feature on our UserVoice page here: http://tribe.uservoice.com

I hope that helps. Thanks!

Thanks for your prompt response.
How would I go about writing such code to filer on ‘wp_mail’? Is there some sample code?

[Casey]

Unfortunately I don’t have a code sample for something like this, but you can read the documentation (which has a few basic filter examples) for wp_mail here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_mail

Hope that helps. Good luck!

I’ve found another solution. It’s a hack, but it works. Here’s what I did in case someone is interested.

I found the code for the link in the file:
the-events-calendar-community-events/lib/tribe-community-events.class.php
on line 1279. I changed that line from:

$message .= ” . $this->getEditButton( $post, __( ‘Review Event’, ‘tribe-events-community’ ) );

to:

$message .= ” . ‘‘ . __( ‘Review Event’, ‘tribe-events-community’ ) . ‘‘;

Of course this change is lost when the plugin gets updated. But for the moment this works for me. Maybe it helps someone else with the same issue.

[Rafael]

Ooops, the code I entered above doesn’t get displayed correctly. How can I show code in the comment?

[Casey]

Great! Glad to hear you were able to get this done.
Try using a site like http://pastebin.com/ to paste your code into the thread.

My last two comments above are attempts to embed code from pastebin.com (the first one using javascript, the second using iframe), but it does not seem to work.
Am I doing something wrong or is it simply not possible to show/embed code into this thread?

[Casey]

Swissvegan,
SO sorry about that! We’re working on fixing code formatting in our forum and should be updating that soon. In the mean time, just paste the URL to the pastebin code that you saved so users can go directly to pastebin to view it. Thanks!

[Rafael]

Thanks Casey for your prompt response. Ok, so here’s the solution that worked for me.

In the file:

on line 1279. I changed that line from the code at:

to the code at:

Maybe this solutions helps someone.

Awesome! Since you’ve gotten sorted this out, I’m going to mark this thread “Answered” and close it out.

We really appreciate your support and please let us know if you need anything else in the future. If you find yourself with a few minutes and would be so kind as to give us a “Works” rating or a positive star voting on the WordPress.org repo (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/the-events-calendar/), or even a shoutout to your followers on Facebook or Twitter, it would mean a lot to us. Thanks again for using the plugin.
