Access $EM_Event::output in function

    Hi there,

    I want to include a Ninja Form on every event detail page by simply inserting the form’s short code in the event description. On submission, the form should contain the event name and date. Therefor I created a function like this:

    function collect_event_name_and_date( $field_id, $data ) {
  global $post;
  $EM_Event = em_get_event($post->ID, 'post_id');
  $event_name_and_date = $EM_Event->output('#_EVENTNAME') . " / " . $EM_Event->output('#_EVENTDATES');
  . . .

    This will work fine so far.

    But now I need to insert content from another plugin via short code right before the form’s short code. This will break my function, as obviously now the $post doesn’t reference to the event anymore but to the inserted plugin’s content. I hope I could explain this quite understandable. 😳

    So, is there a way to geht the event’s name and date into my function?

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Hi,

    May be you could add an argument to the function to pass in the post ID so that you don’t need to use $post->ID in your function?

    Thanks Caimin,
    sorry for asking back, but I’m quite new to all of that stuff.
    So you mean from my function above I should hook into the Events Manager and grab the ID of the currently displayed event? Or do I need to write a separate function?

    I meant that you could add an extra element to functions argument, like this…

    function collect_event_name_and_date( $field_id, $data, $eventid )

    …and then pass a value for $eventid when you use the function.
