Preselected category

[Marlene Hassel]

Would it be possible to have a category pre-checked when creating a new event?

[Nico]

Hi there Marlene,

Thanks for getting in touch with us!

This is possible by injecting a javascript snippet in the new event page. Add this code snippet to your theme (or child theme) functions.php file:

Just be sure to change the category ID in this selector: #in-tribe_events_cat-7 to match the one in your site.

Please let me know if this works for you,
Best,
Nico

Yes, that works!
One more question:
Is there a function that returns the ID of the current category in the category view?

[Nico]

Glad to hear it’s working 🙂

To get the current taxonomy ID, use the following code:

$queried_object = get_queried_object();
$term_id = $queried_object->term_id;


The above should work for event categories and for all taxonomies!

Please let me know if that works for you,
Best,
Nico

[Marlene Hassel]

Perfect! That’s just what I needed.
Thanks!

Stocked to hear Marlene 🙂

I’ll go ahead and close out this thread, but if you need help with anything else please don’t hesitate to create a new one and we will be happy to assist you.

Hope you have a great week,
Nico
