Add New API Function to Get Venue Website URL?

[fervorcreative]

Can we get a tribe_get_venue_website_url() function added as a template tag or API function?

Here’s what exists now:

tribe_get_event_website_url()
tribe_get_event_website_link()
tribe_get_venue_website_link()
tribe_get_organizer_website_url()
tribe_get_organizer_website_link()

You’ll see tribe_get_venue_website_url() doesn’t [yet] exist.

There are public API functions for getting a Website/Link for Events and Organizers, but there’s only a function for getting a Venue’s website HTML link, not just the URL.

These functions can be found in the following directory: /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/public/template-tags.

For now, I’m just using the following function to get the value directly: get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_VenueURL', true );

That definitely sounds like a valid request: I’ll get it logged and though I can’t guarantee anything hopefully we’ll be able to roll it into a future update. Thanks for the suggestion!

This thread’s not seen much activity for the last couple of weeks so I’ll go ahead and close it. Of course if you still need help with this or any other issue please don’t hesitate to create a new thread (or threads) and one of the team will be only too happy to help. Thanks!

Hi there,

I just wanted to update you here. We were not able to fix this issue in time for our upcoming release (3.6). However, it is still very much a priority and we plan to work on it for a future maintenance release. We will keep you posted on our progress. Thank you for your patience and support!

Best,
