Show Author in Event List

Ho Morgen,

Can add this in next version. Do you want it at every page, including the single event page? Cannot make the author name linkable with native get_author_posts_url() function because only native posts are being returned. So no events (because it’s a custom post type).

Hi Guido,

I would like the possibility to show it at listings as well as in every single event page and it does not have to be linkable. It’s just to show the web visitor who is the organizer for an event.

Hi Morgan,

If you want to add author now and you have some coding knowledge, you can consider adding this code in files vsel-page-template and and vsel-template-support:

// author
$output .= '<div class="vsel-meta-author">';
$output .= esc_attr__( 'Organiser', 'very-simple-event-list' ).': '.get_the_author();
$output .= '</div>';

Guido

Thanks,
Do you have an example where in the files to insert the code?

Where do you want this info, underneath or above which value?

Hi Guido,

I managed to solve it. Thanks.

Hi,

Great, looks good!

Your margin-top is overriden by the default margin. Please try this instead:

.vsel-meta > div.vsel-meta-author {margin-top:16px;}

Hi @morganmmg / Morgan

I need to update plugin because of a fix, but will not add your request yet. Still thinking about the best way to do this. Normally I advice users to use the Advanced Custom Fields for custom fields.
