    Hi, I am trying to work out a way of using the buy button on an event as link to my affiliate to process via their booking facility. This link being captured say from a custom field in the event built page.My issue is that ideally I would like to be able to add the correct variable affiliate page link attached to the buy button . I do not want the user to purchase just be directed to the appropriate event booking page. I would want it to say something more Information and availability. I am not sure if there is a short code and how it can be attached to the button. I have tried various ways . I can change the wording no problem it is the attaching of the events link is proving the stumbling block. Many thanks in advance for you advice. I am new at this and have limited coding knowledge so some what of a learning curve.

    Just adding a button is not doing what I require as I link a #_ATT{key} to the #_BOOKINGBUTTON . It will only show button when booking or REGISTERED is empowered. Also does not take user to the desired url. Seem the best way is to use another plugin to create button and the load the url into that. If only there was a way to capture a specified url field in the event page, and then this code be some way related via short code to the book button. Still working on other ideas as well. The URl is variable so I believe this is the issue

    Using code like this in the formatting area will give you the basic link, you can then add some CSS to it to make it look more button-like:

    <a class="booking-button-link" href="#_ATT{key}">Book Now</a>
