Tickets and GST display

[Michele Justin]

In Australia, it is mandatory to display pricing including GST.

The easiest way to add data is to put the ex GST price in (eg. $98) and let the computer do the maths to display the GST inclusive price ($107.80).

The Tickets plus combination with WooCommerce allows one of the frontend display areas to display the GST inclusive, and I suspect this is WooCommerce coding.

However, the primary area for the ticket price does not calculate, it shows the original input.

Here is a screenshot: https://screencast.com/t/ZBmqzCspXbMb

Could anyone provide a function that calculates this field to then display with calculated GST total on the frontend?

cheers

Hi Darryl,

Thanks so much for reaching out!

I would recommend setting up the taxes through WooCommerce (which it sounds like you have already done), and then find the template within WooCommerce that calculates the taxes.  You can copy that code into template file that you need and try to have the amount calculated there as well.

You can reference our Themer’s Guide to see what template to edit.  I’d recommend starting off by looking at the /wp-content/plugins/event-tickets-plus/src/views/wootickets/tickets.php.

If all else fails, you can hide the price field that doesn’t take GST into account, or add a note next to it saying that it is minus tax.

Let me know how it goes and if you have any other questions along the way!

 

Thanks,

Jaime

Thanks Jaime, I will try the code customisation as per your suggestion. Do you know if the wootickets plugin customisations be abstracted out to a child theme as well?

[Jaime Marchwinski]

Hi Darryl,

Yes, you should be able to copy and customize all code to a child theme.  In fact, it is recommended to go about it that way, so that when the theme is updated, you will not lose your customizations.

Let me know how it goes!

 

Thanks,

Jaime

Thanks for your help Jaime. I do use child themes for themes, but I was referring to the plugins, which as far as I know, can’t go into the child theme with any programmatic effect.

Is there any documentation with Tribe about how to extend the plugins without modifying the core files?

Sorry Jaime, I just saw your hyperlink a couple of replies back…all good, found the Themer’s guide, much appreciated.

Great, let me know if you have any other questions on this topic!
