Button – Event Calendar Pro List view

Hi @davo123456

Thanks so much for reaching out! It sounds like what you want to achieve is a custom List View template.

You can do this by creating a template override. Here are some resources to get you started:

– https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/k/template-customization-example/

I hope that helps!

Thanks,
Jaime

Hi there

Thanks for the reply. I had read these articles. They focus on getting you to the point of customisation, but no carrying it out via an example. The example you listed says “delete the code” which is not really an example.

I will go set up the copy of the template files and the check back if anyone does reply with “here is how to put a button on the list view” as this is the bit I don’t know how to do.

Gotcha, let us know how it goes!

Hi Jaime,

I have Pro 6 and I have found that trying to edit the List.php and found that the instructions you posted lead me to no files.

In the folder structure events-calendar-pro/src/views/v2/list there are not files but a single subfolder called /event which has a single file of “recurring”

the instructions https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/list-view-template-directory.png show a bunch of files in event.

has the structure changed since version 6?

found I was in the wrong path.

there is the-events-calendar. I will look at the proper path

rightio. found the correct templates.

It would appear that the file for list called event.php has references to date, title,venue etc

each line has a corresponding file in the path mentioned.

So I imagine I would create a php file called “Tickets” and put in the path
then I would edit tickets.php to add a button, that references the URL field. This is the bit I don’t know how to do. Anyone got a code snippet I could use?

Hi @davo123456, thanks for getting back to us. Good to know that you found the right template. If I understand correctly, it seems like you wanted to customize the list view and insert a button for the ticket. We do not have a snippet for this, as it would require more customization and Javascript to make this work.

As per the Terms of our Support Policy, we are not able to provide full Support for Customization requests such as this. https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/k/what-support-is-provided-for-license-holders/

However, I’m thinking if using a shortcode would help in what you’re trying to accomplish here. Where you could add the ticket shortcode into a specific event not related to the event. It would not show on the list but it would show on the event page. Note that you’d need Tickets Plus to use the Shortcode. https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/k/embedding-calendar-views-with-the-tribe_events-shortcode/
