Products as Tickets

[Andrea]

I work for an organization that has Rain Barrel workshops, where you buy a product specific to that workshop. I am wondering if there is a way to either add a product that is specific to the event, or use a product as ticket.

Currently, when I create an event and sell a rain barrel, when the guest checks out, it doesn’t say which event that rain barrel is associated with.

Conversely, if I create a “ticket”, that ticket being a rain barrel, it appears as a ticket instead of a rain barrel which confuses our guests.

Can I customize the “ticket” to say “Rain Barrel” or anything else? Or can I associate a product with an event without creating a new product for each event?

Hi the jleff,

I’m not too sure I’m grasping the problem: can’t you just name your tickets appropriately when you create them? You can assign any name you like to the actual ticket products and so could include a reference to the specific event within the ticket name.

Would that work here?

So I guess the issue is that when I set up the ticket name as Rain Barrel, it still shows up on the event as “Tickets” then the (-) number of tickets (+) then the name of the ticket “rain barrel”.

The word ticket, above has been confusing for folks.

Ah, I see – thanks for clarifying.

So what you could do is make a template override – this process is described in our Themer’s Guide:

tri.be/support/documentation/events-calendar-themers-guide/

In this case you would probably want to grab a copy of:

wootickets/views/wootickets/tickets.php

Then place your copy in:

your-theme/tribe-events/wootickets/tickets.php

From there, simply find this line:

<h2><?php _e( 'Tickets', 'tribe-wootickets' ) ?></h2>

Change it to:

<h2>Rain Barrels</h2>

Does that help?

Hi! It’s been a while so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread. If we can help with anything else, though, please don’t hesitate to create new threads as needed. Thanks!
