We want to be able to add an icon to events we’re running specials on, so for example if you chose the event category “Sewing”, on that list of classes, we’d have a red dot or something next to the result for a specific event that is on sale… We need some way to distinguish these special events…

Thank you!

Hi there,

If I understand correctly, you should be able to do this using a filter in EE, but may I ask which specific event list you are referring to above?

Maybe add a screenshot that highlights what you want to add and where:

We’re redesigning our site, so I can show you our hearts desire at least for the Category landing page: http://prntscr.com/kingun

Thank you!

Ok, so if you are asking how you can add something to the event itself so you know if your template should display the above, you can use post meta and just add a custom field to the ‘promotion’ events, like so – http://take.ms/3qfkAZ

That adds a custom field ‘promotional_event’ to the post meta, so then in your template you’d do something like:

$promotional_event = $event->get_post_meta('promotional_event', true);

if( $promotional_event ) {
 // Output whatever you prefer for promotional events, in this case a red dot.
}

If you are looking for a more specific example I’d likely need to see your theme to give an idea of what you need to do.

Brilliant!!! I just neeeded to know if it could be done. Thanks so much Tony!

We’ve not built the theme yet… we’re still in the design process.

Thanks much!
