Output the original number of tickets in the frontend event list

[salilou]

Hi,
I use the Ticket Plus plugin and would like to output the original number of tickets in the frontend event list.
Something like “5 of 10 tickets available”.
At the moment there is only “5 tickets available”.
This should of course calculate all ticket types.
Is that possible by using a hook or filter?
Thank you!

Hi Salilou,

Thanks for reaching out!

Let me try to help you out with this question. Though we are limited supporting customizations as stated in our support policy, I can try to give you some pointers here.

For what you want to achieve probably a template override (or more if you want this on several views, like month view and single event view as well) would be best. You can find a guide on template overrides in our Themer’s Guide – https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

And here are three functions from our documentation which will help you show the number of tickets:

• https://theeventscalendar.com/function/tribe_events_has_unlimited_stock_tickets/
• https://theeventscalendar.com/function/tribe_events_count_available_tickets/
• https://theeventscalendar.com/function/tribe_events_has_tickets/

Hope this help you get started. Let me know if you need further guidance.

Cheers,
Andras

Thank you, Andras!
But is there a function to get the total amount of tickets?
I do not mean the still available, but the original total number.
Greetings,
Hannes

Hi Hannes,

I believe you are looking for this functions then:

• https://theeventscalendar.com/function/tribe_tickets_get_capacity/

Does this do the trick?

Thank you Andras, that’s it!
Now I have to hook in the function tribe_tickets_buy_button in the file
event-tickets/src/template-tags/tickets.php, line 178
Do I have to copy the whole file to my child theme (what I would like to avoid)
or can I use a hook?
My aim is to change the text before the button from
“%s tickets left”
to
“%s of %s tickets left”
Thank you!

You should be able to hook into this filter:

apply_filters( 'tribe_tickets_buy_button', $html, $parts, $types, $event_id );

(Line 275 in the same file.)

It will probably be the ‘$html’ variable that you’ll need to change.

Does this help?

Thank you. I have built a code snippet.
For anyone who also wants to output the total ticket capacity.

/* add original total ticket capacity */
add_filter('tribe_tickets_buy_button', 'salilou_tribe_tickets_buy_button');
function salilou_tribe_tickets_buy_button($html) {
$my_ticket_capacity = tribe_tickets_get_capacity( $event_id );
$html['stock'] = str_replace('', ' of ' . $my_ticket_capacity . '', $html['stock']);
return $html;
}
