Url in Ical

[Frans Bosman]

Hi,
I did setup an ics-import and the url-field of the ics is filled with the url of the originating event, this event is not on my own website.

I would like to setup the widget event-list so that when an user clicks the event he will not get directed to the imported event but to the original event, using the url-field of the ics-feed.

is this possible?

The ics is generated by :http://vanginkel.fbosman.nl/ics/calypso-ics.php

Hi Frans,

This code snippet will do that. Please note it changes all the links for that event, not just the widget:

add_filter('post_type_link', function($url,$event){

        if('event' != get_post_type($event)){
                return $url;
        }

        $ical_url = get_post_meta($event->ID, '_event_ical_url', true);

        if($ical_url){
                return esc_url_raw($ical_url);
        }

        return $url;

},10,2);

Hi Steven,

I did apply your snippet in functions.php, but the resulting url is not correct, it appends the url I want to the url of the site event organiser is running:

http://vanginkel.fbosman.nl/%3Chttp:/calypsotheater.nl/k/n394/news/view/3322/3090/familiefilm-k3-love-cruise-met-k3-disco.html

I want “http://vanginkel.fbosman.nl/%3” not included, what did I do wrong?

regards,

Frans

Hi,
I did solve this issue, made a typo in the php-script.

sorry for the inconvenience
