Next Event URL, Date, Title, and thumbnail

[Logan]

I have exhausted my search trying to figure out how to extract the URL, Date, Title, and thumbnail from the_next_event and add it to a single event screen. Please help. I just bought Pro only to try and figure this out.

Anyone??

Hi, Logan!

Thanks for your patience, this was a bit of a puzzle on our end as well. Grabbing a post object or post ID is easy work for a normal post in WordPress (as you know). But since we’re sorting the events by the event start date it was a bit more complex.

I ended up modifying the query we use for the ‘get next event’ link to make it happen.

See if this works for you:

You’ll need to move single-event.php into your theme as outlined in the themer’s guide here: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

Let me know how it goes!

Cheers,
Trisha

Thanks so much!! I ended up figuring it out with this (below), but your way is probably much better…

function tribe_add_thumbnail_to_single_next( $link ) {
global $post;
$next = Tribe__Events__Main::instance()->get_closest_event( $post, ‘ next’ );
if ( ! is_a( $next, ‘WP_Post’ ) || ! isset( $next->ID ) ) {
return $link;
}
return tribe_get_next_event_link(‘ID, thumbnail, false, false ) . ‘” />

Next Event:

‘ . get_the_title( $next->ID ) . ‘

‘);// . $link;
}
add_filter( ‘tribe_the_next_event_link’, ‘tribe_add_thumbnail_to_single_next’ );

Hi Logan,

Glad you got it worked out! Either way is good as long as it works for you 🙂

Cheers,
