Events Pro- Map view

[Kate]

Hi- Is there a way to change the pin tag in the map from “Event” to somethings else? I have tried in the functions.php but that worked for everything else apart from the map?

Hi Kate. Could you please provide a link to the code snippet you’re using and to your site’s Map View and an annotated screenshot of what you’re seeing there (the “Event” not changing text so I know where to look on your site)?

Thanks Cliff,
he screen shot is below, and I have just used the below in functions php (which works everywhere I want it to apart from the map):

/*
* EXAMPLE OF CHANGING ANY TEXT (STRING) IN THE EVENTS CALENDAR
* See the codex to learn more about WP text domains:
* http://codex.wordpress.org/Translating_WordPress#Localization_Technology
* Example Tribe domains: ‘tribe-events-calendar’, ‘tribe-events-calendar-pro’…
*/
function tribe_custom_theme_text ( $translations, $text, $domain ) {

// Put your custom text here in a key => value pair
// Example: ‘Text you want to change’ => ‘This is what it will be changed to’
// The text you want to change is the key, and it is case-sensitive
// The text you want to change it to is the value
// You can freely add or remove key => values, but make sure to separate them with a comma
// This example changes the label “Venue” to “Location”, and “Related Events” to “Similar Events”
$custom_text = array(
‘Events’ => ‘Classes’,
‘Event’ => ‘Class’,
‘Recurring %s’ => ‘Other class dates available’,
‘Show Filters’ => ‘Refine your search’,
);

// If this text domain starts with “tribe-“, “the-events-“, or “event-” and we have replacement text
if( (strpos($domain, ‘tribe-‘) === 0 || strpos($domain, ‘the-events-‘) === 0 || strpos($domain, ‘event-‘) === 0) && array_key_exists($text, $custom_text) ) {
$text = $custom_text[$text];
}

return $text;
}
add_filter(‘gettext’, ‘tribe_custom_theme_text’, 20, 3);

Kate, thanks for sharing. I see you started with the snippet from https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/change-the-wording-of-any-bit-of-text-or-string/ and customized it for your needs, which is great.

The map tooltip you’re trying to re-word is from Line 1188 of /wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/src/Tribe/Main.php

You’ll need to add Event: (with the trailing space after the colon) to your list of strings to replace.

So you could add this to your list of strings to replace: 'Event: ' => 'Class: ',

I hope this answers your question!

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics.
