Hi there, I was just wondering if there was a way to get Revolution Slider event specific meta values to work outside of the RS editor.

In RS, I have a post based slider that queries stec_events and pulls in any events there as slides.

Available in the content options are meta values for all sorts of post types installed, including events.

In RS Editor, it pulls in the value from the post

But on the output page the meta tag code is shown and not resolved

Any ideas as to why this happens and maybe a way around it?

Awesome plugin, thanks in advance
(Unfortunately developing on a local environment so no url to give sorry)

Hi Zhivko,

Apologies for the delay in my response, I've been away.

Sorry about the screenshots, I didn't think they'd expire so quickly.

Essentially RevSlider pulls meta data in from post-types and I was wondering if there was a way to make this integration better with stachethemes.

However, the event section in RevSlider wasn't displaying the meta in the slider on the frontend only in the edtior, using these event meta tags.

By looking in the database though I've seen the meta tags for the stec_event posts and by using {{meta:start_date}} I can pull in the info, I just need to use date_format or something to reformat the result.

I guess the only other thing I'd like to know is the best way to pull in some of the other values for each event that aren't clear results in the database as meta data.

e.g. Guest Info / Attachments etc. given that some are encrypted values, some are stored in arrays etc.

If it's possible that is.

*edit*

If I have the calendar embedded on the page, what is the best way to trigger pushing the "Tickets button" for an event from another button on the same page?

I've looked at the button which says

data-action="open-tickets" 

I'm trying to add that button to the slider for each event to just show the pop-up. If I use the post link it goes to the single-page which I'm trying to avoid using cheers

Thanks for the quick response.

I managed to get what I needed in RevSlider by using a meta query instead:

{{meta:start_date}} works instead of the preset Events options listed and then I format it with php to look the way I want so that's done.

However I'm still trying to figure a way of triggering the correct popup  / tickets based on a button in the slider. Setup is like this:

• I have Sachethemes set to open events in Popup mode
• I have a button in a slider that is dynamic based on the event-id current context
• I want to trigger the correct event popup from the button in the slider

Would appreciate advice on this.

Ok I understand, and appreciate you looking into this for me.

Obviously I'm running into some issues with the single page template with my theme so hopefully that can be sorted.

Thanks again
