Recurring events links in calendar links to original event

[elrafo]

Hi there,
Is there a way to have all the links of a recurring event linking to the original event.
Furthermore, is there a way not to bloat the database with hundreds of copies of the same event, and have all the links in the calendar linking to the original event?

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out!

You could get all of the links for a recurring event to link to the original event via a customization – our themer’s guide is the place to start if you would like to give it a shot! You could either do a template override (instructions on this in our themer’s guide) to change the individual views where you want the title link to change, or you use the tribe_get_event_link filter (found in the tribe_get_event_link function, which you can take a look at in wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/functions/template-tags/link.php); the tribe_is_recurring_event function can help you apply this only to recurring events.

We are limited in the amount of support that we can provide for customizations, but if you get stuck or have any questions, please let me know – I’ll be happy to try to point you in the right direction!

As far as preventing the recurring events from being created in the database, this would involve a much heavier customization. You might look at instead using the “Clean up recurring events after” and “Create recurring events in advance for” settings under Events > Settings > General to limit the number of instances that exist in the database at any given time.

Please let me know if you have any other questions!

Thanks,

Jennifer

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
