Cost field validation rules

[Keith]

Hi,

What are the validation rules for the cost field? It accepts 10-20 for example. “From 20” seems to be converted to 20. “5,10,15” is converted to 15.

Is there anyway to modify that field to accept text strings without modifying them, to just print them verbatim?

Hey @Keith,

By default the cost field tries to limit values to “Free”, or to integers specifically. It does this rather aggressively—to try and allow any string as-is, I would recommend adding this code to your theme’s functions.php file:


add_filter( 'tribe_get_cost', 'cost_show_full_meta_field', 10, 2 );

function cost_show_full_meta_field( $cost, $post_id ) {
$full_cost = tribe_get_event_meta( $post_id, '_EventCost', false );

if ( isset( $full_cost[0] ) ) {
return sanitize_text_field( $full_cost[0] );
}

return $cost;
}


Let me know if this helps!
George
