Hello EE,
We have the ability to pull all of the meta values from an event with the event_espresso_get_event_meta function. Is there a way to add a value to an event programmatically if I have the event ID?
I know you can set defaults with custom functions, but I need the ability to set these values on the fly and I couldn’t find any mention of a ” event_espresso_set_event_meta”.
Thanks!

You could try
action_hook_espresso_update_event_meta
action_hook_espresso_save_attendee_meta

Hey Dean,
I don’t need an action hook. I was hoping for a quick method that allowed me to update/add an events meta value without having to hit the events detail table, unserialize the event_meta for that event, add my stuff to it and then reserialize and push back into the table.
Something like this:
<code>$meta = event_espresso_get_event_meta($event_id);
$meta['NEW_META_VALUE'] = 'Whatever';
event_espresso_set_event_meta($event_id, $meta);</code>
or even:
event_espresso_set_event_meta($event_id, array('NEW_META_VALUE' => 'Whatever'));
Just a quick event that made it easy to dynamically add values to the event outside of EE.

No, we don’t have such a function built in. But you should be able to add one to your theme’s functions.php file, or to EE’s custom functions file.
