Custom Field For Pricing

[pach16]

Hey Stephen,

Is the best way to add a field called “Pricing” where the event manager can enter in whether the event is “free” or “paid“, to just create a custom field and add it to each event?

Or… is there an easier way I can add in this option so I don’t have to the event details section?

Actually,

What I would like to do is add two meta-boxes to the admin panel for events.

• One for adding where it’s a free or paid event
• another one to add a link to the registration form (which is on a thrid-party site)

Got this so far, just need to figure out how to save it.

function add_events_metaboxes() {
    add_meta_box('event-fee','Event Fee', 'my_metabox_fees', 'event', 'side', 'high');
    add_meta_box('registration-link','Registration Link', 'my_metabox_register_link', 'event', 'side', 'default');
}
add_action('add_meta_boxes','add_events_metaboxes');

// Fees Meta Box
function my_metabox_fees($fee){
  ?>
    <label>Event fee:</label>
    <input type="text" name="" value="" >
  <?php 
}

// Registration Link Meta Box
function my_metabox_register_link($registerlink){
  ?>
    <label>Registration Link:</label> 
    <input type="text" name="" value="" >
  <?php 
}

To save data from a custom metabox, just use the save_post hook, and check the post type, permissions (and nonces). (See codex: http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/save_post ). You’ll want to use update_post_meta() ( http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/update_post_meta) to save the data to the event, and then you can retrieve this in the templates with get_post_meta().
