I have two requests.

I have included an event meta box in all of my events which contains a URL.

1. I would like to to display this URL named “View Options” on my page inside a table which is using the espresso_table shortcode.

2. I would like to display the same link on every event page. I think it’s registration.php

I think it’s a combination of the following: But I can’t get the right syntax.

<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[EE_META type=”event_meta” name=”enroll_min” event_id=”‘.$event->id.'”]’);?>

<?php echo “< a href="#">View Options“; ?>

Can you help?

Hi,

Like this

<a href="<?php echo do_shortcode('[EE_META type="event_meta" name="View Options"]'); ?>">View Options</a>

IT will most likely go in the registration_page_display.php file. Please copy that and the registration_page.php (you wont edit it but its needed) to wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates, and edit them in that location.

Thank you, worked perfectly for question 2. Is it the same answer for question 1?

Thx

Sorry, yes the questions are really one. The code should be added into the registration_page_display.php and that will show up for every event.

I added the same line to my espresso_table.php as I wanted the register link to click through to the url stored in the event mets box value. It didn’t seem to work though. It just reloads the same page i’m on. Any ideas?
