I would like to upload a PDF via a file upload meta box on the create/update event page in the admin. I’m not wanting to put it in the event description. I am creating a custom widget (for the sidebar) that will display a link to download the PDF.
Do I create a custom meta box and attach it to the create/update event page or is there a better way to do it. If creating a custom meta box is the best way to go what should I add the the “pages” element of the array.
Many thanks!
(WordPress 3.5.1 & EE 3.1.34.1.P with all the business add-ons)

Hi Joe,
I’m afraid at this time we only support uploading PDF files by using the built in WordPress media uploader where it adds a link to the PDF in the event description.
If you require the services of a PHP developer to make this customization we can advise contacting one of the developers for a quote that are listed here:

Hi Josh,
Thanks for your quick reply. I am a PHP developer but being new to Event Espresso I wanted to check what the best way to integrate this may be. I wasn’t sure if there was a feature I was missing or what the best practice is for making a customization such as this to EE. Naturally I don’t want to edit the core. Is there suggested best practices for making customizations such as this? I have the custom files plugin.
Many Thanks!

Hi Joe,
If you can use one of the action hooks available in the event editor that would be best. Any custom functions can be placed in /wp-content/uploads/espresso/custom_functions.php
If you download the beta version from the pre-release channel (after opting in from your account page) it will have a few more hooks that can be used that have been added since the current version has been released. A few of these are
action_hook_espresso_new_event_left_column_advanced_options_top
and
action_hook_espresso_edit_event_left_column_advanced_options_top
