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);
$meta[&#039;NEW_META_VALUE&#039;] = &#039;Whatever&#039;;
event_espresso_set_event_meta($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.
