Removing Currency Symbol

[winnetkacommunityhouse]

Hello,

is there a way to remove the currency symbol from the form? I’m concerned some of our users might be confused about whether or not they need to add it to the cost field.
Thanks!

Josh,
Thanks for reaching out. Are you wanting to remove the entire ‘Currency Symbol’ field from the form?

[winnetkacommunityhouse]

Yes. Maybe the question should be editing the form altogether.
Thanks!

Josh,
The best way to do this is with a template override.

1) Just create the following new directory structure in your theme directory: ‘/tribe-events/community’

2) After doing that, go to ‘wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar-community-events/views/community/’ and copy ‘edit-event.php’ into the new folders you created in step one.

3) Once you’ve copied ‘edit-event.php’ open it in a text editor and change line 65 to the following:


<?php //tribe_get_template_part( 'community/modules/cost' ); ?>


This will comment out the code that displays the cost fields on your form. Feel free to copy over and override any other views from the plugin directory if you’re familiar with PHP.

Hope that helps!

This is very helpful. Thank you Casey. In my specific case I wanted to just remove the “$” but still have the Event Cost Module display. How I accomplished this was copy the file here:
‘\wp-content\plugins\the-events-calendar-community-events\views\modules\cost.php’

To:
‘\wp-content\themes\my-theme\tribe-events\community\modules’

and removed this section:

:

<input type='text' id="EventCurrencySymbol" name="EventCurrencySymbol" size="2" value="” />

but still kept the currency text box but modified to be hidden:
<input type='text' id="EventCurrencySymbol" name="EventCurrencySymbol" size="2" value="” />

<input type='hidden' id="EventCurrencySymbol" name="EventCurrencySymbol" size="2" value="” />

This is very helpful. Thank you Casey. In my specific case I wanted to just remove the \”$\” but still have the Event Cost Module display. How I accomplished this was copy the file here:
\’\\wp-content\\plugins\\the-events-calendar-community-events\\views\\modules\\cost.php\’

To:
\’\\wp-content\\themes\\my-theme\\tribe-events\\community\\modules\’

and modified the input textbox to be hidden:

<input type=\'text\' id=\"EventCurrencySymbol\" name=\"EventCurrencySymbol\" size=\"2\" value=\"\” />

<input type=\'hidden\' id=\"EventCurrencySymbol\" name=\"EventCurrencySymbol\" size=\"2\" value=\"\” />

I ended up wanting the cost to remain, so I also changed it in the module. I also figured out from this how to re-order some of the other fields as needed. Thanks for your help!
