Modifying Widgets / Views – Meta Walker and Template Overrides

[Janet]

I want to append some of my custom fields that currently appear in the “other” meta to the upcoming events widget. Specifically in /widgets/list-widgets.php and the /list/single-event.php views.
1. I see no way to edit the meta walker objects
2. I can modify much of what I need with template overrides using the tribe functions like tribe_get_start_date, etc. But what functions call my custom fields? For the life of me I can’t find that documentation anywhere.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, great questions.

1. I see no way to edit the meta walker objects

We do have a suite of functions to work with the meta walker:

• tribe_register_meta()
• tribe_set_meta_label()
• tribe_set_the_meta_visibility()
• …many others, please see How the Tribe Meta Factory Works for an overview

But what functions call my custom fields? For the life of me I can’t find that documentation anywhere.

Please see:

• tribe_get_custom_field()

Does that help?

This is great. Thank you.

Excellent!
