Delete a comma

[Birgit Bauer]

Hello,

I want to do one little fix but can’t find where to do the change.

Because we handle addresses in Austria different than you do in America, I changed the use of the fields of the plugins.

Now it looks like I would like to have it except a comma which is displayed behind the name of the city (Brunn). Where/how can I delete this comma on the single event pages?
Here is a screenshot:

Thank you for your help!

Hey @Birgit,

Deleting that comma is unfortunately a quite-involved customization to make at this time. We are hoping to simplify this in the future, but for now you have to edit core plugin files directly.

To get started, head to your plugin files for The Events Calendar and navigate to this file:

/src/Tribe/Main.php

Find the function called fullAddressString()–it’s quite far down the file, around line 2916 or so. Here’s a screenshot of this function:

Change this block of code:


if ( tribe_get_city( $postId ) ) {
if ( $address != '' ) {
$address .= ', ';
}

$address .= tribe_get_city( $postId );
}


To this:


if ( tribe_get_city( $postId ) ) {
$address .= tribe_get_city( $postId );
}


That might help; if it’s not the right comma, then undo that change and then try removing commas from the other blocks in that function.

Tinker around with this a bit and I’m sure you’ll be able to get things looking just how you hope.

Best of luck with your customizations,
George

Hello George,

what about updates? Can I save this in my child theme to have it protected against updates?

Or how can I protect it?

Hi @Birgit,

Putting your customizations in a Child Theme is indeed an excellent way to make the customizations, and should indeed allow you to update the plugins and the “parent theme” without losing the custom code.

I hope that helps!
