1. On this page – http://sunshinetour.co.uk/events/sunshine-tour-registration/ – at the very bottom, how can we change the venue link to pup up in a new window and/or tab?

2. On page 2 of registration – http://screencast.com/t/VLdQFQtBCF – how can we change the wording of “Attendee Information”?

(I’ve tried changing the appropriate strings from the language files in the Quick Localisation plugin and even tried every permutation I could think of. No dice…)

Thanks!

One more question please:

How do we change the verbiage on this button from “Finalize Registration” to “Finalise Registration”…?

Hello,

The venue link can’t be changed without editing the core plugin.

For the Attendee Registration text, you can use this:

function replace_string_attendee_rc( $content ) {
$x = get_the_ID();
	if($x == '284') {
    $content = str_replace(' Attendee', ' NewAttendee', $content);
    return $content;
	}
	else {
		return $content;
	}
}

add_filter( 'the_content', 'replace_string_attendee_rc', 100 );

function replace_string_information_rc( $content ) {
$x = get_the_ID();
	if($x == '284') {
    $content = str_replace(' Information', ' NewInformation', $content);
    return $content;
	}
	else {
		return $content;
	}
}

add_filter( 'the_content', 'replace_string_information_rc', 100 );

The number 284 needs to be replaced with your post id for your registration checkout page. You can find this in WordPress admin –> Pages. Then hover over the Registration Checkout page and you’ll see the post id towards the end of the URL.

Next, you’ll need to change  NewAttendee &  NewInformation to something else.

For the Finalize Registration button, you can use this:

EDIT: use this instead for the button https://eventespresso.com/topic/2-quick-issues/#post-96838

function replace_string_information_fr( $content ) {
$x = get_the_ID();
	if($x == '284') {
    $content = str_replace('Finalize Registration', 'Finalise Registration', $content);
    return $content;
	}
	else {
		return $content;
	}
}

add_filter( 'the_content', 'replace_string_information_fr', 100 );

You’ll also need to change 284 to the post id for your registration checkout button.

It turns out that Event Espresso has filters for changing the text on buttons. If you use those then you don’t need to do the str_replace and checks for pages. Here’s something you can add to a custom snippet plugin that will change the text on the Finalize button:

add_filter ('FHEE__EED_Single_Page_Checkout__registration_checkout__button_text__finalize_registration', 'my_custom_finalise_button');

function my_custom_finalise_button() {
    return 'Finalise Registration';
}

@Lorenzo @Josh

Thanks gentlemen! I successfully made both changes using the “blank plugin” method that Josh linked to.

Do you guys ever get tired of hearing how excellent your support is? 🙂

You wrote: “The venue link can’t be changed [opened in a new window/tab] without editing the core plugin.”

Seems to me like this is something the majority of your users would want as a core feature. Afterall, what sense does it make to have somebody navigate away from the registration page, especially if they’ve already made some selections for the event…?

Hi Danny,

There are good arguments for and for not using target=”_blank” in a lot of scenarios. Here’s a good summary:

If you prefer to change the link to have target=”_blank” this can be done by adding a bit of jQuery to the page, which can be done without hardcoding it into the core plugin file.
