Continue Shopping Button

[Dan Feeley]

Hello, I have a question regarding having a “Continue Shopping” button when adding a wooticket to the cart.

I know this question was asked before https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/add-continue-shopping-button/ stating that it was a WooCommerce setting however I get a continue shopping button when I add any other product to the cart except a ticket.

I have tried disabling all other plugins and even tried it with the Twenty Fifteen theme with no luck. I was wondering this was possible or am I missing something?

Thank you.

Good evening Dan and welcome back!

Thank you for reaching out to us.
I would love to help you with this topic.

You are right, the default behaviour of Event Tickets Plus does not display the “Continue Shopping” button by default.

This was programmed this way because the majority of our customers do not have their tickets visible in the Shop.

With that in mind, there is nothing stopping you from doing a template override of /wp-content/plugins/event-tickets-plus/src/views/wootickets/tickets.php

You might want to read our Themer’s guide to get a sense of how that works.

You could loosely borrow from WooCommerce “normal” add to cart template.

We also have a couple of cart related snippets available. None of them actually do what you are looking for, but they could serve as inspiration/starting point for creating your own snippet (instead of going with a template override):

1. https://gist.github.com/elimn/30c533fad7ee5ce4c3cb8a0f727c7190#file-tribe_prevent_add_cart_empty-php
2. https://gist.github.com/cliffordp/f148a9cacd726e5a86ffeda2d2e204c1#file-functions-php

The second one tackles specifically what happens after hitting the “add to cart” button.

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!

Thanks Geoff,

I can understand the reasoning behind that, but you know what they say, there’s always one.
Thank again for the information. I was able to put something together.

Good evening Dan,

Thank you for writing back and for your awesome understanding.

To your point, we totally understand and appreciate the fact that everybody has different requirements for their website.

This why we made sure our plugins are customizable when it comes down to view and behaviours.

You are welcome back in our support forums any time 🙂

For now, I am going to close this thread.

Have a great week!

Geoff B.
