We want our template to check and see if an event is free. If it is free, the button/link text would say “Register”. If it’s not free, it would display the regular “Buy Tickets Now”.
I added this to the top of our template…
$free_button_text = !isset($free_button_text) ? __('Register', 'event_espresso') : $free_button_text;//For free events
and then I tried to add an ‘If’ statement to check if the event is free…
if($event->event_cost === "0.00") {
?><a id="a_register_link-<?php echo $post->ID; ?>" href="<?php echo $registration_url; ?>"><?php echo '<b class="home-display-button-text">' . $free_button_text . '</b>'?></a><?php ;
}else {
echo '<b>'; ?>
<a id="a_register_link-<?php echo $post->ID; ?>" href="<?php echo $registration_url; ?>"><?php echo '<b class="home-display-button-text">' . $button_text . '</b>'?></a><?php ;
}
Could you tell me if I’m on the right track here?

Hi there,
Which template are you editing and which version of Event Espresso are you currently using?
The code above looks like it would be for EE3 so I just want to confirm first.

We are using EE4 and the espresso-grid-template.

Ok, then no, you are not on the right track as the above code is aimed at EE3 not EE4.
With EE4 the price is assigned to a ticket and then the ticket (or multiple tickets) are assigned to a ‘datetime’.
You would need to pull the tickets for the current datetime shown in the grid, loop over them and check that none of them have a cost associated with them and then change the text output to the screen, there is no such $event->event_cost parameter/method that will return a single value you can use within EE4.
You can use the EE4 Model system to pull all of the information you need, take a look here:
https://github.com/eventespresso/event-espresso-core/tree/master/docs/G–Model-System
Also take a look at this tutorial:
https://gist.github.com/lorenzocaum/ef6afefd07c9c5f6f681
Note that it does NOT apply to the grid template, but will give you more of idea to of how to get the information you need.
