Meta URLs name

[realmwebdesign]

Hi,

With the custom META fields, the URL I am using is always going to be too long. How can I modify it to say “click here” instead of showing the URL?

That should do it – much appreciation for your assistance!

Hello realmwebdesign,

Thanks for contacting us! This thread should give you enough info.

If you check out our Themer’s Guide, you could probably make a template override to display what you want. Then just add in the custom venue url (or any other url you need). Events are a custom post type just like any other, so get_the_permalink() should work for those as well.

Does this make sense? Let me know if this doesn’t work for you.

Cheers!

Hi,

So where is the PRO meta file I edit, I do not see any thing in pro/modules/meta/additional-feilds.php

Thanks Casey!

Hello realmwebdesign,

I’m sorry I misread that.

Custom fields are not baked in to our templates by default, but very easy to add. Since they are a CPT, you just need to utilize the_meta() and other similar custom field functions.

Once you have the data, you can just screen for your custom ‘url’ key and style it accordingly with the custom text.

For brevity and consistency in design, I would just use the additional-fields.php file (moved to your template override). Be sure to place your code before the if statement or rearrange the code to execute your stuff. Reuse the the html for styling consistency.

Does this make sense? Let me know if this doesn’t work for you.

Cheers!
