link to previous website

[Hans-Gerd]

Hi,
is there a function, which give me back the link to the previous website ?
For example:
List view of events with a special category.
When showing a single event, there is the link “all events”.
Here I want to link to the previous list view.

I didn’t find a function like that in
https://theeventscalendar.com/page/1/?s=link&post_type%5B0%5D=documentation&submit

I tried tribe_get_listview_dir_link() in single-event.php, but there is not shown the previous view:

$vorherige_seite = tribe_get_listview_dir_link();
...
    <a href="<?php echo esc_url( $vorherige_seite ); ?>"> <?php printf( '&laquo; ' . esc_html_x( 'All %s (voheriger Link)', '%s Events plural label', 'tribe-events-calendar-pro' ), $events_label_plural ); ?></a>

Cheers,
Hans-Gerd

Hi, Hans-Gerd.

I’m not 100% clear exactly what you’re referring to by “previous website” in your first sentence. If you share an annotated screenshot or video screen capture, it might help communicate what you’re seeing and what exactly you’re wanting.

Hi Cliff,
this seem to work fine:

// $vorherige_seite = tribe_get_listview_dir_link();
$vorherige_seite = $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"];
?>
<div id="tribe-events-content" class="tribe-events-single">
	<p class="tribe-events-back">
    <a href="<?php echo esc_url( $vorherige_seite ); ?>"> <?php printf( '&laquo; ' . esc_html_x( 'All %s (voheriger Link)', '%s Events plural label', 'tribe-events-calendar-pro' ), $events_label_plural ); ?></a>
...

… or do you see an issue when using $_SERVER[“HTTP_REFERER”] ?

Cheers,

Hi Cliff,
that seem to be a better solution because using a function of the wordpress codex:

// $vorherige_seite = $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"];
$vorherige_seite = wp_get_referer();

see here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_referer

May be thats a general improvement for single-events.php ?

Cheers,

Hans-Gerd,

Here’s my understanding of your request:

If your site’s default calendar view is Month and a user is at a different calendar view (e.g. Photo) and they click to view a single event and then click the All Events link, you want to take them back to Photo instead of Month view.

I think your implementation of using the referrer is fine. However, you should make sure to account for a situation like this: click from single event A to single event B -> don’t want the referrer (event A) to be the URL you send them to if they click All Events from event B.

Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions on this topic.

Hi Cliff,
thanks for answer and patience.

If your site’s default calendar view is Month and a user is at a different calendar view (e.g. Photo) and they click to view a single event and then click the All Events link, you want to take them back to Photo instead of Month view.

no, I want to implement an option like the “go back” – icon of the browser (firefox, IE, etc.)

My solution doesn’t make issues in the kind described by you, because it is not possible to click from event A immediately to event B.

Cheers,
Hans-Gerd

Maybe you could maybe benefit from one of these (third-party, not guaranteed or supported by us):

• https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-back-button/
• https://css-tricks.com/snippets/javascript/go-back-button/
• https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_his_back.asp

Please let me know if maybe this is more along the lines of what you’re wanting.

Hi Cliff,
thanks for information.

Until there are only minor issues with the solution I declared (wp_get_referer()), I don’t need another plugin for this.

Cheers,

Sounds good. I’m glad you were able to find something that works for your needs.
