Combine Ticket Selector with Available Ticket view

Could you guys help me wrap my head around this? I have different tickets per event and it really makes sense to just show the event details with a ticket selector all in one instead of broken out like this:

Something like:

Event Title
Event Date(s)
[Qty Selector]

Everything is customizable, it’s just a question of development time and cost and whether there is already a pre-rolled solution.
So you want multiple-cascading dropdowns. When they select the event in the first dropdown, the second populates with the available dates, etc. That seems really cool, might be popular, and would not be that hard to do.

I guess I really just don’t need the Available Ticket view, and would prefer to have all of the info in the Ticket Selector. I could put date/time in the event title to achieve this, but I was hoping for something more elegant.

Hi Wes,

As Sidney mentioned, it should be possible but would be custom development.

We are considering some additional templates that change the way the ticket selector works (one idea is what Sidney mentioned about the dropdowns) but this is still at the idea stage.

I might be able to develop what I need – I’m just not sure where to start without hacking core. Could you point me in the right direction?

Hi Wes,

You can avoid hacking core by copying the Ticket selector template into your theme. Even better, into a child theme.

Then you copy the file modules/ticket_selector/templates/ticket_selector_chart.template.php into your child theme’s folder. In order for Event Espresso to know where to find your custom template, you add the following to your child theme’s functions.php file:
