Add ticket Event name on Cart and Email

[tkbmtl]

Hi, I want to add the event name to the cart and to all the emails, and not just have the ticket name… Often the name of the ticket is not enough explanatory. This is confusing to the user when he sees only a name like ADULT. EVENTS NAME – ADULT would be much better. Thx

Hi!

You would need to familiarize yourself with the process of customizing both our templates (see the themer’s guide) and those of WooCommerce first of all. Basically though you can obtain the ID of an event related to a particular product with:

$event_id = get_post_meta($product->id, '_tribe_wooticket_for_event', true);

Where you already have a reference to the current WooCommerce product object, of course. You can then load the event post itself with:

$events = tribe_get_events(array('p' => $event_id));
$event = $events[0]; // safety check advisable!

And access items like the event title with:

$title = $event->post_title;

Hope that helps!

This functionality would make WooTickets so awesome. In my mind instead of set fields (name, email, phone etc.) they would be customisable for example ‘dietary requirements’ field etc. making attendee lists much more useful. I hope you seriously consider including it in a future version (and bump up the price if needed!).

I agree with tkbmtl – auto appending the event name, date and start time to the ticket name in the cart and email would be ideal out of the box solution. Eg. General Admission – Event Name – DD/MM/YY HH:MM. I’m doing that manually for my tickets for now.
I’ll add it to uservoice.

Hi Barry,
Please help me to do this

$event_id = get_post_meta($product->id, ‘_tribe_wooticket_for_event’, true);

Where you already have a reference to the current WooCommerce product object, of course. You can then load the event post itself with:

$events = tribe_get_events(array(‘p’ => $event_id));
$event = $events[0]; // safety check advisable!

And access items like the event title with:

$title = $event->post_title;

which pages I need to customization. Please

Hi!

I’m afraid this thread wasn’t being monitored as it was created by another user and marked resolved back in October 2013: I do also see you created a new thread so let’s keep the conversation rolling there 🙂

Generally speaking it’s best not to “hijack” a pre-existing thread – especially a very old one – for just this reason.

Thanks!
