Changing Default

[Dave Riches]

Hi,

I’ve seen a couple of references to this on the forum, but no clear solution.

Server is based in the UK

I have eventbrite tickets 4.2.1

When I create a new event, it always tries to send it to Eventbrite in USD, this is undesirable. I’d like to set the default currency to GBP. Anyone know how?

Thanks!

Hey Dave,

Sorry for the delayed reply here!

We’ve been looking into this question, as it used to be easily solvable by using a simple code snippet that we used to have here → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/change-the-currency-for-eventbrite-tickets/

As you can see, though, that is now a 404 because the code has changed a bit and a new snippet is required.

I am working on getting a new snippet for you—sit tight!

Hey Dave,

I’m sorry to inform you that the snippet I mentioned above no longer exists because of some changes to the Eventbrite API in recent months. 🙁

With their new API it is not possible to set the currency programmatically, and it must be done manually.

One thing that MIGHT help here is to use a custom code snippet we have that attempts to use eventbrite.co.uk for all API references instead of eventbrite.com. This MAY help with the default currency.

To activate this snippet, simply download this file and install it on your site like a normal plugin ? https://github.com/theeventscalendar/configure-eventbrite-tickets-to-use-co-uk/archive/master.zip

Then activate that plugin, and all API references thereon should be through eventbrite.co.uk….

I hope this helps!

Hi George,

Thanks for the replies, however, it triggers a fatal error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ”Tribe__Events__Tickets__Event’ (T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING), expecting ‘)’ in /var/www/html/foo.com/wp-content/plugins/configure-eventbrite-tickets-to-use-co-uk-master/plugin.php on line 27

So sorry about this Dave! Here is another, safer version ? https://theeventscalendar.com/content/uploads/2016/10/configure-eventbrite-tickets-to-use-co-uk.zip

Sorry for the trouble; I hope this modified version helps!

Hi George,

Sorry for the delayed reply!

I’m now getting a different error:

Eventbrite requires a Venue and it must have a valid Address.

Can you advise?
