Injecting PHP code on custom field was created by Gio Bas
Hi Tuan,

I hope my message finds you well.

I would like to know if there is a way to inject some custom PHP code into a custom field. If yes, where shall I paste the code? Is there a particular syntax to follow? My goal is to create a script that generate formatted date range to be stored in a hidden custom field for each event, so I can use it in emails or templates.Thank you in advance!!
Kind regards,
Giovanni

Sorry Giovanni. The extension, unfortunately, does not support that feature

Hi Tuan,

Thank you for your return.

In such a case, do you believe there could be any alternative solution to display the event dates on the messages/emails in a more friendly/custom format in a custom field, for example:
- For events on a single day: 3 July 2025
- For events spanning two days in the same month: 3-4 July 2025
- For events across different months: 30 July - 1 August 2025
- For events across different years: 30 December 2025 - 1 January 2026

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,
Giovanni

Hi Giovanni

The easiest option would be customize the method buildTags in components/com_eventbooking/helper/registration.php to add support for the new tag, and then use that new tag in the email

Keep in mind that the change should be implemented using override so that the change won't be lost when you update to future releases of the extension, see docs.joomdonation.com/eventsbooking/deve...thods-helper-methods

Tuan
