I can\u2019t add this to individual events without breaking the event out of the series, something I don\u2019t want to do. So, i figured i could use custom fields to add the url for each day. For example:<\/p>\n<p>day 1 : www.blah.com?id=23<br \/>\nday 2 : www.blah.com?id=24<\/p>\n<p>I think this will work fine, providing i can hook into the individual day and cross reference it with the correct custom field. I was thinking I could perhaps store the data like this:<\/p>\n<p>1|www.blah.com?id=23<br \/>\n2|www.blah.com?id=23<\/p>\n<p>So that i can extract the day by splitting on the pipe. What i\u2019m not sure how to do, is find out where in the series of events the actual event i\u2019m looking at is. So that if i\u2019m looking at day 2 in the sequence, i can match it with \u20182|www.blah.com?id=23\u2019 and extract the url.<\/p>\n<p>I may be looking at it totally the wrong way! Any suggestions would be brilliant.
