Submit Event button on Calendar?

[Kenneth]

Is there a way to create a “Submit Event” button on the Event Calendar itself? Ideally with the same format, and right next to the “Find Events” button.

Hi Kenneth, thanks for getting in touch!

Good question. Yes, it is certainly possible to add a button to the calendar. It will take a little custom development, but I can at least help you get started.

• Make a copy of the bar.php file. It is located in /plugins/the-events-calendar/views/modules/bar.php.
• Make a new folder in your theme directory called tribe-events
• Make a new folder in that one called modules
• Drop the copied file in that last folder

Now that the file is in your theme, you can modify it to suit your needs. In this case, you would add a button in there using something like:

<a class="tribe-add-event-button" href="[YOUR-LINK]">Add an Event</a>

Then, you will need to add some CSS to your theme’s <i>style.css</i> file to style the link like the button:

#tribe-bar-form .tribe-add-event-button {
font-size: 13px;
line-height: 20px;
letter-spacing: 0;
width: 100%;
height: auto;
padding: 10px;
background: #666;
color: #fff;
border: none;
border-radius: 0;
-moz-border-radius: 0;
-webkit-border-radius: 0;
-webkit-appearance: button;
}

It will  take some massaging to get this format to work with your specific layout, but this should at least give you a good foundation to work with and make that happen. 🙂

Does this help? Please let me know.

Cheers!

Instructions make sense, but the direct editing is a little over my head right now (only been using WordPress for a couple weeks). For now I added a “Submit Event” direct url link to my main WordPress Menu /wp-admin/nav-menus.php It’s not exactly what I wanted, but it’ll do the job. Perhaps I’ll learn the CSS editing at some point. Thanks!

Sure thing! While I’m sorry I wasn’t able to steer you to exactly what you were looking for, I’m glad you found a solution that gets the job done for the time being.

I’ll go ahead and close this thread but do please feel free to hit us up with a new one if any other questions come up and we’d be happy to help. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff
