Appending date to non-recurring events only

[Andy Burns]

We had this code to append the date to an event’s URL:

    /*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
/* Including date in the slug of Event Organiser Events */
/*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/

add_action( 'eventorganiser_save_event', 'my_include_date_in_event_slug', 15 );
function my_include_date_in_event_slug( $post_id ){

    //Prevent infinite loops!
    remove_action( 'eventorganiser_save_event', 'my_include_date_in_event_slug', 15 );

    //Get event & schedule start date
    $event = get_post( $post_id );
    $date = eo_get_schedule_start( 'Y-m-d', $post_id ); 

    //Form new slug and ensure it's unique
    $new_slug = sanitize_title_with_dashes( $event->post_title .'-'.$date );
    $new_slug = wp_unique_post_slug( $new_slug, $post_id, $event->post_status, $event->post_type, $event->post_parent );

    //Update post
        wp_update_post( array(
        'ID' => $post_id,
        'post_name' => $new_slug,
        ));

    //Re-add the function
    add_action( 'eventorganiser_save_event', 'my_include_date_in_event_slug', 15 );
}

However, it is not appropriate for recurring events. Can you advise on how to make this date appending conditional if it is not a recurring event?

Add this to the first line of the function definition:

if ( eo_recurs( $post_id ) ) {
   return;
}

Sorry, can you elaborate where?

[Stephen Harris]

Like so:

add_action( 'eventorganiser_save_event', 'my_include_date_in_event_slug', 15 );
function my_include_date_in_event_slug( $post_id ){

    if ( eo_recurs( $post_id ) ) {
        return;
    }

    //Prevent infinite loops!
    remove_action( 'eventorganiser_save_event', 'my_include_date_in_event_slug', 15 );

    ...

}

Thank you Stephen, very helpful!
