Get a label of event_website_url

Hi @viktazon ,

Thank you for reaching out.

Kindly find the link below, which may be of interest to you.

tribe_get_event_website_link_label

Thanks for answer!
But tribe_get_event_website_link() and apply_filters( ‘tribe_get_event_website_link_label’, $label ) it is assumed that the $label variable is known.
How do I get the $label variable?

Hi @viktazon ,

Thank you for your message.

Looking into the underlying code of the tribe_get_event_website_link() function in \wp-content\plugins\the-events-calendar\src\functions\template-tags\link.php, by default, the website URL becomes the label of the link that’s retuned if none was supplied.

The tribe_get_event_website_link_label($label) filter hook allows you to change the label to something else.

Thank you.
We need exactly the $label that the user specified when creating the event. I understand that I can replace it with my own, but it is the user-defined one that is needed, because the label text may be different.
In link.php the incoming variable $label is used, its original value is needed.
I need to output the value of the $label variable

Hi @viktazon ,

Thank you for your message and the clarification.

Regrettably, we do not have a function that extracts the $label for your use case. I recommend doing a regular expression to extract it from the tribe_get_event_website_link() function instead. The snippet below could work for you.

$uri = tribe_get_event_website_link();
$get_label = preg_split('/<a[^>]*">([^<]*)<\\/a>/', $uri, -1, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);
$label = $get_label[1];

Thank you.
If I try this code in /tribe/events/v2/list/event.php I see that
tribe_get_event_website_link() outputs url instead of label… label= url, therefore, regular expression does not help… although the label exists and is displayed correctly on the event page

Hi @viktazon ,

Thank you for your message.

To help me understand the situation better, could you please provide with the code that you have for the /tribe/events/v2/list/event.php file and the direct URL of the page in question?

Hi @viktazon

I hope you’re doing well. I just wanted to touch base and check in with you. It’s been a little while since we’ve heard from you. I was just curious if you had the chance to try out the recommendation provided above.

Let me know if there’s anything I can assist you with.

Hello!
Sorry for the delay in responding.
File event.php – https://dropmefiles.com/LE0Iy
Unfortunately, it is impossible to provide a direct URL, since it is a localhost. All other plugin files are unchanged.

Hi @viktazon ,

Thank you for your message and the information.

Since you are using the tribe_get_event_website_link() function in an archive page, you would want to attribute the event variable to it like so:

<?php			
	$uri = tribe_get_event_website_link( $event );
	$get_label = preg_split('/<a[^>]*">([^<]*)<\\/a>/', $uri, -1, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);
	$label = $get_label[1];
	echo '$uri='.htmlspecialchars($uri).'<br>';
	echo '$label='.$label;
?>

I’m sorry, but the code works exactly the same. I’ve tried it this way.

Block Event Website:
Label-text – Google
Link – https://google.com

1:

$uri=<a  target="_self" rel="external">https://google.com</a>
$label=https://google.com

2:

$uri=<a  target="_self" rel="external">https://google.com</a>
$label=https://google.com

Hi @viktazon ,

Thank you for your message and the information.

Are you saying you’re creating or editing events using Gutenberg block editor and have enabled Activate Block Editor for Events in Events -> Settings -> General (tab) -> Editing (section)?

Hello!
Yes, that’s right.
Everything is displayed correctly on the page of one event. I would like to display this button (link) on the event list (for each event from the list).

Thank you for the confirmation, @viktazon . Let me check with the team about this, as when using the block editor, it will not be using the tribe_get_event_website_link() function to retrieve the website URL in the event single view.

Hi @viktazon ,

As it turns out, when using the block editor, the label becomes embedded in the post’s (or event’s) content like so:

<!-- wp:tribe/event-website {"urlLabel":"the-website-url-label"} /-->

This means, we’ll have to discard the previous solution that I’ve shared and instead make use of the get_the_content() function of WordPress. Essentially, you’ll want to do a regex of what’s returned by the get_the_content( $event ) function to get the label that was inputted for the website URL block.

I hope that makes sense.
