Permalink with Starting Date injected automatically

[Jacques]

Hi guys,

Just saw an other topic about that feature : here

I needed the functionality myself so I came up with this :

function please_update_slug( $data, $postarr ) {
	if($data['post_type'] == 'tribe_events') {
	    if ( !in_array( $data['post_status'], array( 'draft', 'pending', 'auto-draft' ) ) ) {
			$post_id = $postarr['ID'];
		    $value = $_POST["EventStartDate"];
		    $date = new DateTime($value);
	        $data['post_name'] = sanitize_title( $data['post_title'] . '-' . $date->format('d-m-Y'));
	    }
	}
    return $data;
}
add_filter( 'wp_insert_post_data', 'please_update_slug', 99, 2 );

Just place this in your function.php and each time you create / save an event, the permalink of your event will be [event title]-[event-start-date].

Hope it helps someone.

Peace.

Sorry wrong forum.

Thanks for sharing, Jacques and no problem about posting it in the EDD Tickets forum – I went ahead and moved it across to our PRO forum (since we keep general events stuff in there).

Cheers!

Thanks Barry.

I created a small Gist for it : https://gist.github.com/jacquesletesson/def518c8b0e9a8c85fa1

Hi! It’s been a while so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread. If we can help with anything else, though, please don’t hesitate to create new threads as needed. Thanks!
