Event cost field as number field instead of text?

[hippies]

We’re recurrently having problems with clients adding letters to the event price field (#EventCost) and therefore it displays as “Free” in the frontend.

Is there any possibility the field type for event cost could be changed from text to number in future updates?

Howdy @hippies,

Welcome to our support forums and thanks for reaching out to us. Hopefully I can help you modifying this behavior 🙂

You’ll need to add the following snippet to the site’s functions.php file (located at wp-content/themes/your_theme/functions.php):

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;
}


With this snippet in place you should be able to input strings in the cost field,
Best,
Nico
