Event Cost for 0 & Blank amounts

[Cara]

In the event cost the description states we can either hide the field or list it as free. We have events that are free to members & some that are free to all so 2 choices would be great

Likewise, the Events List widget has a checkbox for the price field.

Even if I list all my events with blanks & uncheck the price in the widget I still get the else response from the tribe-events-event-cost section of tribe-event/pro/single-event.php. For now, I have changed the text to something innocuous.

Enter a 0 for events that are free or leave blank to hide the field.

		<?php if ( isset( $cost ) && $cost && tribe_get_cost() != '' ) { ?>
			<div class="tribe-events-event-cost">
				<div class="tribe-events-event-cost-inner"><?php echo tribe_get_cost( null, true ); ?></div>
				<div class="tribe-events-event-cost-descr">One Ticket</div>
			</div>
		<?php } else { ?>
			<div class="tribe-events-event-cost">
				<div class="tribe-events-event-cost-inner">Come</div>
				<div class="tribe-events-event-cost-descr">Dancing</div>
			</div>
		<?php } ?>

Hi Cara!

Thanks for reaching out to us! 🙂

The event cost can take up more than value. For example, if you have free tickets, $50 tickets and $25 tickets, you could enter the three values like this > https://cloudup.com/clfUj6eR_4k and it will show up in the frontend like this: Free – $50.

Even if I list all my events with blanks & uncheck the price in the widget I still get the else response from the tribe-events-event-cost section of tribe-event/pro/single-event.php

This issue seems like a theme conflict, so could you please try switching to a default theme and see if it works there? If that does not work I would suggest you go through all the steps in the testing for conflicts guide and let me know what you find in the process > https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/testing-for-conflicts/

Thanks!

Our is us is that some events are free to all and others are free to members only. Anyway to distinguish that?

Hey Cara!

Thanks for the follow up on this! Let me try and help you with that.

One option could be to create an additional field for the events that will enable you to add that extra information. For example, create a field called “Members Price” and set that to Free (or even a different price) in the events. You can find all about adding Additional fields here > https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/pro-additional-fields/

The other option I can think of would be to try out our Event Tickets free plugin which will enable you to create different tickets and prices in addition to also manage and collect RSVP’s for your events.

I hope that helps. Let me know if you have further questions and I’ll be happy to help.

Best!

Victor
