Embedded Events: Inline Templates : other tags ?

Hi Pascal,

I’m definitely open to adding more placeholders but – right now – there are none that meet your needs.

It’s possible to add new ones, though, as described here. Here is a concrete example:

add_filter( 'eventrocket_embedded_event_placeholders', 'inline_template_tag_cost_field' );

function inline_template_tag_cost_field( $placeholders ) {
    $placeholders['{cost}'] = 'tribe_get_cost';
    return $placeholders;
}

This could be added to your theme’s functions.php file and should provide you with a {cost} field you can use … one word of caution though is that I ran out of time to test this, however if you hit problems just let me know.

I can certainly consider adding this and a {venue} placeholder to the next release.

Hi Pascal,

A range of new venue, organizer and cost placeholders have already been coded (and so they will definitely be available in the next release) – however in all probability the next version of Event Rocket will not be available until The Events Calendar 3.10 is released.

So, the answer is that the amount of time you will need to wait really hinges on when The Events Calendar itself next updates. I’d offer a guess that this may be slightly more than 4 weeks, but these things are subject to change.

I took my chinese book and I succeed in writing the “cost”
see http://swp-wp.com/rhinojazz/ (see the 2 first events below the main menu)

Awesome!

Any help with the same kind of procedure with the “venue” (the location)

You’d basically use a similar approach, but registering existing function tribe_get_venue() for your placeholder – you can see how I handled this in the plugin’s latest development code:

• https://github.com/barryhughes/event-rocket/blob/develop/embedding/inline-templates-events.php#L36-L41
• https://github.com/barryhughes/event-rocket/blob/develop/embedding/inline-templates-events.php#L84-L97

If you are using {start_date} etc it should use the date format set for your blog (and if the blog’s language setting is French, it ought to use French).

If for any reason that isn’t working or you need to use a different format, you could follow a similar strategy as before but setting up a function the returns the result of a call to tribe_get_start_date() … simply specify the format using PHP date() notation:

return tribe_get_start_date( null, false, 'l j M Y' );

Awesome 🙂
