tribe_get_cost started returning currency symbol in wrong place

[Kevin Morton]

Hi Tribe,

On my site, 2 template functions just started behaving differently after the most recent updates.

tribe_get_cost() now incorrectly returns the currency symbol after the price (“199$” instead of “$199”) despite the setting “Currency symbol follows value” being unchecked.

tribe_events_event_schedule_details() just stopped returning anything at all.

Nothing changed on my end with the code or events, just the plugin updates.

Hey Kevin,

Thank you for reaching out to us!

Unfortunately, this is an issue we are already aware of and the team will address it in a future maintenance release of our plugins.

I will set this thread’s status to “Pending fix” and link it to the report so we can let you know as soon as a bugfix is released.

In the meantime, we have a workaround that will force the currency symbol to always be before the price. You should place the following code snippet into your theme’s functions.php file:

add_filter( 'tribe_reverse_currency_position', function(){ return null; } );

I apologise for the inconvenience and we’d appreciate your patience.

Thanks!

Patricia

Thanks very much Patricia, that’s good to know, and the patched worked fine for fixing tribe_get_cost().

Any solution though to tribe_events_event_schedule_details() not returning anything anymore?

Hi Kevin,

I’m glad to hear that our patch helped you to fix the problem with the currency symbol!

Regarding the problem with tribe_events_event_schedule_details, I’ve ran some tests and couldn’t reproduce the issue you are experiencing from here: this function is working as expected and returning the details of the start/end date/time.

If you send me your code I can take a look and further investigate your case.

Thanks!

Patricia
