Hi @laiconsulting,
Thanks for reaching out,
If I understand correctly you don’t want to have the site owners to change the slug but instead changing it automatically by code?
The events slug is stored in the table wp_options (for each subsite wp_x_options) under the option name ‘tribe_events_calendar_options’ in a serialized array. Changing that manually would be highly discouraged unless you know exactly what you are doing.
Now, there you could use the method set_option wraped in a function and hooked in your functions.php
Something like this would work to keep the slug set to ‘mySlug’ everytime the site loads.
add_filter(‘init’, ‘tribe_set_events_slug’);
function tribe_set_events_slug (){
Tribe__Settings_Manager::set_option( ‘eventsSlug’, ‘mySlug’ );
}
Let me know if this helps
Best

@sjaure
many thanks for the code snippet. That’s very helpful.
May I ask one more question.
How do I change the default google map api key without editing plugin code?
I’d like subsites to inherit one key without users having to deal with setting. If there is a constant to define, that would be ideal.
I have come up with the following code, but it doesn’t work somehow.
add_filter( 'tribe_field_value', 'bv_populate_field_with_default_api_key' , 8, 2 );
function bv_populate_field_with_default_api_key( $value_string, $field_name ) {
if ( ! isset( $field_name ) || 'google_maps_js_api_key' !== $field_name ) {
return $value_string;
}
if ( ($value_string == "AIzaSyDNsicAsP6-VuGtAb1O9riI3oc_NOb7IOU" || empty( $value_string )) && function_exists('tribe_update_option') ) {
remove_filter( 'tribe_field_value', array( $this, 'bv_populate_field_with_default_api_key' ), 8, 2 );
$value_string = GOOG_MAP_KEY;
tribe_update_option( 'google_maps_js_api_key', GOOG_MAP_KEY );
add_filter( 'tribe_field_value', array( $this, 'bv_populate_field_with_default_api_key' ), 8, 2 );
}
Hey @laiconsulting ,
I’m happy to hear it helped.
The following snippet will set the default API key whenever a custom one is not set.
add_filter(‘init’, ‘tribe_set_google_api_key’);
function tribe_set_google_api_key(){
Tribe__Events__Google__Maps_API_Key::$default_api_key = ‘asdasdasdasdasdasdasdasd’;
}
Let me know how it goes

Many thanks again for the help!

I have a strange problem regarding to setting the default api key
When I run Tribe__Events__Google__Maps_API_Key::$default_api_key, it displays the key I want to be used, however when I look in the DB directly, it is still the default TEC key. And what is used by the map widget is still the TEC api key, not mine.
Is that a way to remedy it?
Or filter it to my key somehow?
Nevermind.
Based on your previous snippet, I added this line.
if( Tribe__Settings_Manager::get_option("google_maps_js_api_key") != GOOG_MAP_KEY ) Tribe__Settings_Manager::set_option("google_maps_js_api_key",GOOG_MAP_KEY);
It does the job
Hi @laiconsulting,
I’m happy to hear you sorted it out.
Thanks for sharing the solution.
Cheers
