Any way to stay on calendar, vs go to cart?

[barback]

I’ve modified the events calendar list view to show tickets there — so folks don’t have to click through to detail view to buy tickets.

We’re offering a discount to anyone spending $120 in one session (shows are $20 each for this festival).

It would be nice if they could Add to Cart, but stay on the page (with a view cart button available.)

This is possible for WooCommerce product on a WooCommerce page, but not for tickets?

Hi @barback,

Thanks for reaching out to us, interesting question!

Doing some research on our forums, I’ve found a post mentioning a possible workaround for this: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/ajax-add-to-cart-still-required/#dl_post-322544 … Can you take look into it?

Also how are you getting the tickets form in there? Maybe we can try and simulate how WooCommerce is doing so in the products page. Can you point me to the products page in your site?

Please let me know if the solution I pointed out might work for your case,
Best,
Nico

Tickets page is http://puppetsinthegreenmountains.com/events/category/2015-festival/

In order to get all shows listed with ticket puchasing options “up front”, I made an override for views/list/single-event.php and added this bit:

<?php do_action( 'tribe_events_single_event_after_the_meta' ) ?>

So the end of that file now looks like this:

<!-- Event Content -->
<?php do_action( 'tribe_events_before_the_content' ) ?>
<div class="tribe-events-list-event-description tribe-events-content description entry-summary">
	<?php the_excerpt() ?>
	<a href="<?php echo esc_url( tribe_get_event_link() ); ?>" class="tribe-events-read-more" rel="bookmark"><?php _e( 'Details & Directions', 'tribe-events-calendar' ) ?> &raquo;</a>
	<?php do_action( 'tribe_events_single_event_after_the_meta' ) ?>
</div><!-- .tribe-events-list-event-description -->

<?php do_action( 'tribe_events_after_the_content' ) ?>

The other approach (using woo short code instead) might work, but we’re in the midst of the short sales season for the festival and I won’t likely be tweaking it at this point. I am noting the possible solution for the next go round in 2 years. Who knows, by then there will likely be a different way to do it!

Hey Barback,

Thanks for following up!

Hopefully I found a simple way of avoiding the redirect. Just create a template override of the ‘wootickets/tickets.php’ template and edit the form action parameter. You can comment it out, and it will come back to the same page after adding the ticket:


<form <?php /*action="<?php echo esc_url( $woocommerce->cart->get_cart_url() ) ?>"*/ ?> class="cart" method="post" enctype='multipart/form-data'>


Or you can change that URL to the products page url and pass a variable to show the user a notice indicating that the ticket was successfully added to the cart, or whatever you see fit best for the site.

Please let me know if this solutions works for you,
Best,
Nico
