How to edit the submit an event form

[Matthew]

Hi,

I’ve browsed the forum but unfortunately can’t find the answer, should just be a quick question.

I want to edit the ‘submit an event’ form for my community users. Specifically I want to add ‘USD’ after ‘Price’ in the ‘Add New Ticket’ section of the submission form.

I can’t find the template for the community submission form or the add new ticket section of it. Where do I find it so I can edit it using the guidelines in the themers guide?

Thanks,
Mat

Hi Mat,

Sorry for the delay in getting to you on this.

The files that controls this is an admin file here:

plugins/event-tickets/src/admin-views/meta-box.php

plugins/event-tickets-plus/src/admin-views/woocommerce-metabox-advanced.php

plugins/event-tickets-plus/src/admin-views/price-fields.php

So they cannot be directly edited or moved to the theme.

We have this guide instead that might help change a word:

https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/change-the-wording-of-any-bit-of-text-or-string/

The text domain is:

event-tickets-plus

and this might work for the custom text in the snippet on that guide:

$custom_text = array(
'Price:' => 'Price: (USD)',
);

Cheers

Thanks for getting back to me Brian.

I put that snippet in my custom plugin (I use this instead of the functions.php) and unfortunately nothing has changed on the Submit an Event page. You can see where I put the code in this screenshot:

Have I entered something incorrectly?

Thanks,

Hi,

Please look at the snippet in the article I referenced.

It is a piece of that snippet.

Cheers

Hi Brian,

I had read that article 3 times, it’s not very easy to understand.

After trying a bunch of different stuff I found I already had that snippet in my site plugin:

http://nimb.ws/qpR9vy

If I paste the snippet again later the site breaks and it tells me I cant ‘redeclare function tribe_custom_theme_text’.

I tried modifying the code to include the snippet you gave me but that doesn’t do anything. I presume I need to specify the text domain somehow?

This is what I tried, the site didn’t break but nothing happens to ‘Price’:

/*

 * See the codex to learn more about WP text domains:
 * <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Translating_WordPress#Localization_Technology" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Translating_WordPress#Localization_Technology</a>
 * 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
    $custom_text = array(
        'Location' => 'Enter a City, Zip or Postcode',
      	'Price:' => 'Price: (USD)',
    );

    // If this text domain starts with "tribe-", and we have replacement text
    if(strpos($domain, 'tribe-') === 0 && array_key_exists($text, $custom_text) ) {
        $text = $custom_text[$text];
    }
 
    return $text;

}
add_filter('gettext', 'tribe_custom_theme_text', 20, 3);

How do I change the word ‘Price’ and keep my changes to the word ‘Location’?

Thanks,
Mat

Hi,

I can try to help clear up what is wrong here.

You cannot have a function with the same name and the text domain must match the text you are trying to change.

The text domain is different for Event Tickets Plus.

I got this to work for me:

/*
* 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_price_wording_change ( $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
$custom_text = array(
'Price:' => 'Price: (USD)',
);

// If this text domain starts with "event-", and we have replacement text
if(strpos($domain, 'event-') === 0 && array_key_exists($text, $custom_text) ) {
$text = $custom_text[$text];
}

return $text;

}
add_filter('gettext', 'tribe_price_wording_change', 20, 3);

Notice the changes made here:

if(strpos($domain, 'event-')

and here:

function tribe_price_wording_change ( $translations, $text, $domain ) {
}
add_filter('gettext', 'tribe_price_wording_change', 20, 3);

That worked with the other function present too on my site and should work for you.

Thanks

Hi Brian,

That worked nicely.

Thanks mate,
Mat
