Creating a Ticket widget / order form on a page

[Benjamin]

I’d like to show a series of tickets for sale on a specific page using Event Tickets Plus. I see the option to create tickets within the page, but it puts it at the very bottom and spans the entire width of the page since i have the page set at 100% width. I’d like to place the tickets higher up on the page and have as much control as possible with this form to create the most clear ordering process for people.

I did find this knowledgeable article but not sure if it applies: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/moving-the-rsvp-tickets-form/

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Howdy Benjamin,

That one does not quite apply to your needs. However this mini plugin would:

tribe-snippet-tickets-shortcode-2016-08-11

That hides the ticket area from the default location, and add this shortcode: [event_tickets_forms_display] . So install and activate it, then put that shortcode wherever you wanted the tickets to show.

Does that all make sense? Will that work for you? Please let me know.

Cheers!

Howdy again,

How do I change the order of the tickets as they appear?

To do that you are going to need to modify that plugin that I shared with you. Inside the main file, tribe-snippet-tickets-shortcode.php, you will see this:

protected $et_classes = array(
   'Easy_Digital_Downloads' =>     'Tribe__Tickets_Plus__Commerce__EDD__Main',
   'ShoppVersion' =>               'Tribe__Tickets_Plus__Commerce__Shopp__Main',
   'WP_eCommerce' =>               'Tribe__Tickets_Plus__Commerce__WPEC__Main',
   'Woocommerce' =>                'Tribe__Tickets_Plus__Commerce__WooCommerce__Main',
   'Tribe__Tickets__Tickets' =>    'Tribe__Tickets__RSVP',
);

That determines the order that the the tickets and such appear in. Move the RSVP line above the Ecommerce engine you use, and it should appear above that engine.

<span style=”line-height: 1.5;”>I’d like the ‘RSVP’ to appear above the ‘Tickets’ and change the title ‘RSVP’ to ‘Member Ticket Request’</span>

It sounds like you would be interested in this tutorial:

Did that do what you need?

HI Brook,

The reordering worked very well. thanks.

I did attempt to change the text as it indicated in that article by removing the <?php tag and then adding in those couple lines of code. When i went ahead and saved that file in my WP file editor, it turned up a site error and i had to go back in through ftp to replace the file with the original before my modification. Now, Im very hesitant to make that change. Could you please advise. Thanks

Excellent news about the reordering!

Doh! That snippet definitely works, but since it requires editing PHP it can be exceptionally easy to break. An extra character like an apostophe, or even just a missing one, can cause the whole site to error out.

What I usually recommend is to replace the <?php tag at the top of your functions.php with the whole snippet. the very first line of your file will be  <?php, and since the first line of our snippet is that as well, you can usually replace this first line with the entirety of our snippet.

But if you’re gun shy there is one alternate method available that might be easier for you. You could create a “theme override” by following the steps in our Themer’s Guide . The file you will want to override is: /event-tickets/src/views/tickets/rsvp.php And on line 19 you will see where it outputs the event tickets title. You could actually probably just delete this whole line, since you already have the Member Tickets Request title right above where this appears. Or you could just change the wording. Likewise you could change the wording for the “Confirm RSVP” button near the bottom of this file.

Did one of those work?

Cheers!
