Hi guys,

getting my head around EE4 now. I believe the quality of the layout and emails it looks really first class.

Quick question on facebook links for events

the event registration email has a connect with event facebook incon on the right hand side of the confirmation email

http://take.ms/7l1eg

This is currently a dead link on my confirmation emails.

I cant for the life of me see where to enter the details for each events facebook page in the can be confirgured ???

look forward to being embarrased again ๐Ÿ™‚

cheers guys
Brent

Hi,

Thanks for the kind words!

The social network settings are in General Settings > Your Organization tab and scroll down a bit.

“look forward to being embarrased again :)”

Nothing to be embarrassed about, there are a lot of options and some are not instantly noticeable.

HI dean I have those settings enabled

http://take.ms/EnrVU

that works for the facebook icon down the buttom of the email but not the one on the sidebar.

My understanding is that one the one on buttom represents the organisational facebook page and then one on right represents the events facebook page.

the short code also implies this using the event shortcodes

any thoughts ?

Hi Brent,

Those are actually specific for each event and need to be added to the event meta.

If you edit the event you’ll find a ‘Custom Fields’ section.

Within there add two meta fields with names – event_facebook & event_twitter

Then add the links you found like that specific event to to link to. For example if your event has its own Facebook page, you’ll input the link to that within the event_facebook value field – http://take.ms/2kU2v

We will be adding our own specific meta boxes for these in a future version of EE4.
