Hi Troy,

The table view template includes a reg_button_text parameter you can use to adjust the text, for example:

[ESPRESSO_EVENTS_TABLE_TEMPLATE reg_button_text='Your custom link text']

Better yet, wouldn’t it be better to have the event title be a link?

It could, and it is possible to load your own custom version of the template file in use from your theme’s root directory (preferably a child theme), I can walk through the steps needed to load that template if that helps here?

Yes, please share template file

Sorry, to clarify, this is a way for you to load your own custom template. I don’t have a template that will load with the event name as a link so that’s something you’ll need to add in 🙂

where to load a custom version to our child theme

Grab a copy of the default template file from the add-on itself.

/wp-content/plugins/eea-events-table-view-template/templates/espresso-events-table-template.template.php

Place that copy within your child themes root directory.

So /wp-content/themes/{theme_dir_name}/espresso-events-table-template.template.php

If you leave the filename the same it will replace ALL instances of of the table add-on default template.

Or you can name it something custom like:

espresso-events-table-template-custom-event-link.template.php

Then just pass the name of the template to the shortcode you want to use it on:

[ESPRESSO_EVENTS_TABLE_TEMPLATE template_file=espresso-events-table-template-custom-event-link.template.php]

Would load that custom template for you.
