Override ticket meta template

[Juan Diego Rodas]

Hi, I was trying to replace some tickets meta field templates, the text.php to be specific.
On the themer’s guide you say that we can replace the template by putting the text.php inside the meta folder on my child theme. I’ve seen that the method that renders the field is on this file: event-tickets-plus/src/Tribe/Meta/Field/Abstract_Field.php

That method calls to render_field method and there you are not looking for a template on my child theme and your are directly using the theme inside plugin’s folder.

So on the render_field method you can change this:
include Tribe__Tickets_Plus__Main::instance()->plugin_path . "src/views/meta/{$template}";
with this:

$file = Tribe__Events__Templates::getTemplateHierarchy( "meta/{$template}" );

			if ( ! file_exists( $file ) ) {
				$file = Tribe__Tickets_Plus__Main::instance()->plugin_path . "src/views/meta/{$template}";
			}

			include $file;

That way the method will look for a template on my child theme. I’ve tried this and it works. Without it, the themer’s guide explanation for this templates is not working.

Hey Juan,

Thanks for reaching out.

This is unfortunately a known bug that we are working on fixing. A fix should hopefully be arriving some time in the next few weeks, but there is no current workaround for now. 🙁

I’m sorry to bear this news! But I will mark this thread “pending fix” and can assure you I will post an update here when the bug fix is available and the meta templates thus starting working with our templating system as expected.

Please let me know if there are any other issues or questions I can try to help with in the meantime.

Sincerely,
George
