Function/action for active/expired tickets

[ambassadorbaptistcollege]

Is there any function that I can use to determine whether there are any tickets that have not yet passed their expiration/stop-sale date? In other words, determine whether there are active tickets? I tried https://theeventscalendar.com/function/tribe_events_has_tickets/ but it returns true even if all the tickets have expired.

Alternatively, is there an action hook I could use to run custom code when a ticket does pass its expiration/stop-sale date?

Use cases:

1. If there are active tickets, I want to include a “register now” button at the top of the content directing people immediately to the form at the bottom of the page (I know I could move it to the top, but for various usability reasons, I’d like the content first)
2. When a ticket passes expiration date, I may need to flush my caching plugins

Thanks

Hi Matthew!

Thanks for getting in touch with us!

I’d be happy to help you with this topic.

There is no action hook that triggers when a ticket passes it’s expiration date. However, you can find several useful functions in the following file that will allow you to check if an event has tickets on sale. https://github.com/moderntribe/event-tickets/blob/master/src/template-tags/tickets.php

I’d recommend you try the tribe_events_ticket_is_on_sale() helper function located at https://github.com/moderntribe/event-tickets/blob/master/src/template-tags/tickets.php#L368

Hope that helps.

Best,
Victor

Thanks; tribe_events_has_tickets_on_sale() did the trick!
