Adding Category to Ticket in Woo – Overridding via Themer's Guide not working.

[Melanie Adcock]

I found this thread which allows me to add the category of “Ticket” to each event using Events Ticket Plus (needed a category so I can add a custom field in Woocommerce only on the ticket products with the category of “Ticket”) https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/missing-function-in-event-tickets-plus/
by adding this to line 510
//add ticket category to ticket
wp_set_object_terms( $ticket->ID, ‘Ticket’, ‘product_cat’, true );

I added the code to the file in the plugins folder and naturally it worked. But I need to add it to the override folder inside my theme folder as directed in your Themer’s Guide.
I tried adding to [theme-name]/tribe-events/tickets/src/Tribe/Commerce/WooCommerce/main.php but it didn’t work. I am missing something? Should the first sub folder be called something else? I tried tickets-plus but that didn’t work either.
Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugin. I can help out here.

It is not possible to change the plugin files like that.

That only works for files in the views directory (event-tickets-plus/src/views/), which our the front end templates.

Instead that coding needs to be added through an action in your theme’s functions.php.

I do not have that hook off the top of my head, but can look it up on Monday and provide a snippet to do this I believe.

Thanks

Ok I came up with this snippet and tested it.

It worked for me to add the Ticket Category for all new tickets created:

Add that to your theme’s functions.php and it will do the rest.

Let me know how that works out.

Thanks

Thanks Brian. I had the whole thing set up with WooTickets but since Events Ticket Plus came out I figure I would switch it before this site goes live. Save me the trouble of switching later.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Looks like we posted around the same time, please check my last post for a snippet to do this.

Thanks

Thanks. I’ll use it unless you know a better way for my client to collect other attendees names when someone purchases more than one ticket a time.

We are hoping to release a custom meta feature for the tickets plugins in one of the next major releases that enables you to collect more information per ticket.

For now we do not have a feature to do that.
