add ticket description to email.php

[markavickers]

What code would need to be added. It doesn’t look like the description is un the underlying function.

Hi!

There are a couple of ways you could do this, but it might be easiest to use the functions provided by this (unofficial) plugin – or you might just check out how it works “under the hood” to build a picture of the relationships between events and tickets. Either way that might help get you on track here.

A brief summary of some of the customizations you can make and the available functions can be found here.

I hope that helps!

Thanks Barry. When I took a look, the plug in deems to deal with the cart as opposed to the actual ticket email.

Well, it’s not specific to any particular page or template – it’s just that some of the examples relate to the cart page. On taking a second look, though, possibly all you need is a snippet like this one:

$ticket_product_id = get_post_meta( $ticket['ticket_id'], '_tribe_wooticket_product', true );
$ticket_product = get_post( $ticket_product_id );
$ticket_description = $ticket_product->post_excerpt;

You could use this at the appropriate point within the ticket template (of course, the $ticket array must be set so ideally you would use it within the main loop).

Does that help?

Barry you are a coding ROCKSTAR…. that was perfect. Slipped it into the email.php with a bit go html around it and it is awesome.

Thanks so much

Awesome! Happy to help 🙂

I’ll go ahead and close this thread but if we can assist with anything else please do create new threads as needed.

Thanks!
