Hi Denise,

I have a question about the add to event cart button; When I add an event to the cart and then click “Return to Events lists”, if I click on the same class and maybe wanted to add another event of the same type, I now see “VIEW EVENT CART” instead of “ADD TO EVENT CART”. How do I change that text for VIEW EVENT CART, its confusing.

‘View Event Cart’ should only be displayed if the user already has that event added to the cart, because they don’t need to re-add that same event to the can, they can just view the cart and update the ticket qty they originally selected for that event.

Can you link me to your event page so I can view this please?

Changing the return to event list text can be done using something like this:

function ee_my_custom_return_to_events() {
	return 'Custom text to return to events';
}
add_filter( 'FHEE__EED_Multi_Event_Registration__return_to_events_list_btn_txt', 'ee_my_custom_return_to_events' );

Yeah I can that applies with your use case, the tickets are each an individual day so they may add one to the cart, then decide to add another.

The easiest way to change the View cart text is to use something like this:

function custom_view_cart_filter_gettext( $translated, $original, $domain ) {
 
    // This is an array of original strings
    // and what they should be replaced with
    $strings = array(
        'View %s' => 'Add to %s',
        // Add some more strings here
    );
 
    // See if the current string is in the $strings array
    // If so, replace its translation
    if ( isset( $strings[$original] ) ) {
        // This accomplishes the same thing as __()
        // but without running it through the filter again
        $translations = get_translations_for_domain( $domain );
        $translated = $translations->translate( $strings[$original] );
    }
 
    return $translated;
}
 
add_filter( 'gettext', 'custom_view_cart_filter_gettext', 10, 3 );

Which basically translates the ‘View %’ to ‘Add to %s’, the %s is replaced buy the cart info (to ‘Event Cart’) and needs to be left as is for this to work.

Hi Denise, the gettext filter that Tony shared will work. However, it should only change the text once an item has been added to the event cart:

Hi Denise,

Are you using the browser back button?

If you add an event to the cart, and click to go back that get_text filter should work.

Hi, that scenario also works:

Could you confirm that you are adding the gettext filter to your child theme or through a site specific plugin?
