How to add a delimiter between thousands in the price of an event

[Radek]

Hi, could you help me how to add a delimiter between thousands in the price of an event? I need to put space there.
Thanks a lot

Hey Karolina,

Do you mean that you want to replace the currently-available delimiters like the comma or the period with a space?

Just want to make sure I understand your question! 🙂

Thanks,

Where I can set it up? However, in Czech we use space as delimiter between thousands, like if the price is:

12599 Kč it should be written as “12 599 Kč”

Thanks for clarifying this @Radek! And for your patience here 🙂

WordPress’ filtering of text values for security purposes unfortunately limits the easy with which spaces can be used here, so I had to write some custom code for you to enable this. I will explain how to go about getting this to work on your site – I hope it helps! Here goes:

Admin cost field

In the admin-facing cost field for events, just leave your prices without spaces in them. So, to use your example of 12 599 Kč, you would enter this in your edit-event screen as 12599. Here’s a screenshot of this:

Custom code

Now, to get that to display properly on the front-end, add this bit of code that I wrote for you to your theme’s functions.php file:


add_filter( 'tribe_get_cost', 'tribe_support_1016785', 10, 2 );

function tribe_support_1016785( $cost, $post_id ) {

$czech_format = number_format( absint( $cost ), 0, '.', ' ' );

return tribe_format_currency( $czech_format, $post_id );
}


How it looks

Once I added this custom code, here’s how things looked on the front-end of my site:

I hope you find similar success and that this helps!

Cheers,
