Need a little help with override was created by Arbind Bhagat
I am overriding this file:
/components/com_eventbooking/helper/ics.php to add some extra information in the .ics file.
I would like to have the content of the "params" column in the #__eb_events table. Can you please help my by providing the code that I could add to this file so that I could get the content of the "params" column and assign it to a variable?

It looks like that shouldn't be difficult, but I am not able to get it done. Of course, I am just learning PHP, and that could be why. Please help me.

Hello Cami

Are you using latest version of the extension?

If so, inside the class, you can access to $this->event . It contains data of the event is being registered and you can access to any data from there

Hi Tuan,
Thank you for your reply.

I tried this:
$this->event->params->update_data_from_main_event
But it didn't give me any value.

I am trying to get the value of "update_data_from_main_event" parameter from the event. Please advise.

I finally got it using the below code:

$paramsdata = json_decode($this->event->params);
echo $paramsdata->update_data_from_main_event;

Is this the correct way to do it?
