Greetings,

I’m interested in (1) generally, customizing the event editor in a not-hacky way and (2) specifically, adding a Name field to the Event Registration Options meta box.

1) Do you have any sweet write ups or snippets regarding hooks and filters for editing the event editor pages?

2) If not (or, actually, even if so) can you point out the files that generate the event editor template in your plugin for me?

Hi Jeff,

We do have some tutorials that show how to use Advanced custom fields to add custom fields to the event editor. Here’s a link to their overview.

With regards to adding a custom input to the Event Registration Options meta box, there are some hooks available that should allow for some customization. You can open up EE in your favorite code editor/IDE and check out the filter hooks that you can use in these two files:

/event-espresso-core-reg/caffeinated/admin/extend/events/Extend_Events_Admin_Page.core.php:776
and
/event-espresso-core-reg/caffeinated/admin/extend/events/templates/event_registration_options.template.php:27
