Error calling tribe_eb_is_live_event & tribe_eb_get_ticket_count

[crhallen]

I am trying to call a series of the eventbrite template tags (from https://theeventscalendar.com/support/documentation-eventbrite-tickets/eventbrite-template-tags/) in functions.php as below:


$added = array(
'is_allday' => tribe_get_all_day( $postId ),
'is_multiday' => tribe_is_multiday( $postId ),
'event_start' => tribe_get_start_date( $postId, false, 'M j, g:i A' ),
'event_end' => tribe_get_end_date( $postId, false, 'M j, g:i A' ),
'organiser_name' => tribe_get_organizer( $postId ),
'venue_name' => tribe_get_venue( $postId ),
'eb_id' => tribe_eb_get_id( $postId ),
'eb_show_tickets' => tribe_event_show_tickets( $postId ),
'eb_is_live' => tribe_eb_is_live_event( $postId ),
'eb_ticket_count' => tribe_eb_get_ticket_count( $postId ),
'event_cost' => tribe_get_cost( $postId ),
);


Trying each one individually, most work but I am encountering the following errors:

tribe_eb_get_id( $postId ) returns:

PHP Strict Standards: Non-static method Event_Tickets_PRO::getEventId() should not be called statically in /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar-eventbrite-tickets/public/template-tags.php on line 31
PHP Strict Standards: Non-static method Event_Tickets_PRO::getEventId() should not be called statically in /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar-eventbrite-tickets/public/template-tags.php on line 31

tribe_eb_is_live_event( $postId ) returns:

PHP Strict Standards: Non-static method Event_Tickets_PRO::isLive() should not be called statically in /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar-eventbrite-tickets/public/template-tags.php on line 43
PHP Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar-eventbrite-tickets/lib/tribe-eventbrite.class.php on line 1863

tribe_eb_get_ticket_count( $postId ) returns:

PHP Strict Standards: Non-static method Event_Tickets_PRO::sendEventBriteRequest() should not be called statically in /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar-eventbrite-tickets/public/template-tags.php on line 16
PHP Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar-eventbrite-tickets/lib/tribe-eventbrite.class.php on line 1691

While the Strict Standard errors are not of great concern (right?), can you help me solve the Fatal Errors?

Thanks

Hello,

Thanks for using our plugins. I can try to help out here, in 3.9 we changed the methods in the class that our template tags are using such as this one:

tribe_eb_is_live_event( $postId )

That is causing the fatal errors.

You can use this snippet instead until this is resolved:

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks

OK. So I needed to create an object as the methods were not declared as static in the class.

For the first two it is more simple:

//create new object
$eventobj = new Event_Tickets_PRO();
//call the methods within the class
$eb_id = $eventobj->getEventId( $postId ),
$eb_is_live = $eventobj->isLive( $postId ),

For the last one, to count the number of eventbrite ticket types:

//use api call to get all eventbrite data
function tribe_eb_all( $postId = null, $eventobj ) {
$postId = TribeEvents::postIdHelper( $postId );
if ( $EventBriteId = get_post_meta( $postId, ‘_EventBriteId’, true ) ) {
$event = $eventobj->sendEventBriteRequest( ‘event_get’, ‘id=’ . $EventBriteId, $postId );
return $event;
} else {
return false;
}
}
//create new object and call the function
$eventobj = new Event_Tickets_PRO();
$event = tribe_eb_all( $postId, $eventobj );
//count the number of ticket types
$eb_no_of_ticket_types => count( $event[‘event’][‘tickets’] );

Great, thanks for sharing your coding with everyone.

I know someone will find that useful.

I am going to close this ticket, but if you need anything else related to this topic or another please post a new topic on the forum and we can help you out.

Thanks

This ticket is closed, but has been added to a bug ticket. This bug was found thanks to the post by ibex here:

https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/tribe_eb_is_live_event-throws-a-fatal-error-in-the-latest-update/#post-922481

The original post was also edited to remove information that was not correct about my original assessment.

Due to a change in the methods in 3.9 the following template tags in EventBrite now return fatal errors of not in object context.

• tribe_eb_get_ticket_count()
• tribe_eb_is_live_event()
• tribe_eb_event_status()
• tribe_eb_event_list_attendees()

crhallen your coding is a way around this bug until we can fix this issue.

We will update this ticket once we have information on a solution.

If you have issues related to this please create a new ticket and we can help you out.
