Hi,

I’m trying to make it easier for a client to enter custom meta keys on the Event Overview page. I’d just like to add “display_price” and “multiple_day_event” as boxes after “event_hashtag”, “event_format” and “event_livestreamed” as defaults so my client doesn’t need to remember the spelling/format of each key name when entering them for the first time.

Could anyone explain how I’d do it please? Thanks!

Version 3.1.30.7P and WP 3.5.1 fwiw

Hi David,

You can use the custom files add-on to do this. You’ll first want to upload the custom_functions.php file to the /wp-content/uploads/espresso/ directory. More information here:

http://staging.eventespresso.com/wiki/custom-files-addon/

Then you can add something like this after the opening php tag:

if (!function_exists('ee_default_event_meta')){
    function ee_default_event_meta(){
        return array(
            "event_hashtag"=>"#campvibes",
            "event_format"=>"jamboree",
            "event_livestreamed"=>"N",
            "display_price"=>"Y",
            "multiple_day_event"=>"N"
        );
    }
}

The above code was adapted from example code you can find in this section of the documentation:
