Cannot override select.php

[Charles]

Hi,

As per this topic, which doesn’t appear to be answered: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/where-do-we-create-the-events-tickets-plus-templates-under-our-child-theme/

I cannot override the meta/select.php template. Please could you advise if this is going to be fixed?

Thanks

[Cliff]

Hi, Charles.

If you open the /wp-content/plugins/event-tickets-plus/src/views/meta/select.php file, you’ll see in the comment section at the top, it tells you what path to use to implement your Themer’s Guide template override.

In this case, this file specifies [your-theme]/tribe-events/meta/select.php

However, the path Hunter provided in that previous thread is likely what it should be: /wp-content/themes/tribe-events/tickets/meta/select.php

Please test these two paths and let me know which works for you and I’ll try to confirm and correct any discrepancies in our documentation.

Thank you.

We’re having the same issue with overriding the Meta fields. We’ve tried multiple locations and options and no luck.

It should be noted that the meta.php does override properly.
[your-theme]/tribe-events/meta.php

Anything within the meta folder does not:
[your-theme]/tribe-events/meta/text.php

Steps we’ve taken:

• Disable all other plugins
• Try twenty sixteen theme

Here is a screenshot of all the places we’ve tried in our theme and had no luck:

Is there anything we might be missing? We would like to avoid making changes to the plugin core files to accomplish what we need.

Thanks!

Thanks for all the details. I was able to reproduce this bug for all the files in that directory.

I’ll mark this ticket as Pending Fix, which means this thread should receive a reply once the applicable fix has been released. I cannot guarantee when it will be fixed as it’s in the development team’s hands now. They need to assign it, code it, test it, and schedule it for release.

I apologize for this issue and appreciate your understanding and patience.

My best guess is the issue has something to do with Line 222 of /src/Tribe/Meta/Field/Abstract_Field.php

[Elizabeth]

Yeah I think you’re on to something with line 222 in that file.

We’re making this quick change to the plugin locally (not perfect by any means) and it seems to fix the issue for us. We’re assuming once the fix is deployed it’ll overwrite our plugin change but our custom template edits in our theme will keep working.

    $filepath = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/wp-content/themes/our-theme/tribe-events/meta/'. $template;
    if (file_exists($filepath)) {
      include $filepath;
    } else {
      include Tribe__Tickets_Plus__Main::instance()->plugin_path . "src/views/meta/{$template}";
    }

Hope that helps others as a quick patch. Let us know if you’d advise against this.

Thanks!

Sounds good. However, there may be some release cycles before this fix is added to the plugin’s code. Please be prepared to implement your fix more than once, and thanks for your patience.

[Frank]

Interesting. For me though, also the meta.php is not overwriting anything…
Any ideas?

Cheers

[Cliff]

I confirmed that /wp-content/plugins/event-tickets-plus/src/views/meta.php didn’t take the template override either and have added that to our bug report.

Sorry about this.
