Would anything outside of the seating chart addon be affected if I wanted to change the terminology/labeling that the user sees in the seating chart addon from
Level, Section, to
Section, Table,
ideas?

Hi Jamie,
How did you plan on changing those words?
We usually recommend a translation file or a gettext filter: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/how-to-change-wording-with-poedit/#plugins
An str replace also comes to mind.

Where the word LEVEL is used in the addon….I’d like to use the word SECTION
where the word SECTION is used, I’d like to use TABLE.
We use SECTION, TABLE, SEAT rather than LEVEL SECTION, SEAT
(I’d like to remove any reference to “ROW” in the mouse over if possible as well.
I’ve used string replacement apps before in text but never in code so I didn’t want to just try it without checking – in case code depended on occasions of those words (like the field headers when importing seating chart csv’s. I’d take it after doing the string replacement I could change the csv headers to coincide as well?

Hi Jamie,
Rather than changing the strings directly in the code, I recommend using a little translation function. The function can be placed in your theme’s functions.php file or into a site specific function plugin. Some example code follows:
function seatchart_filter_gettext( $translated, $original, $domain ) {
// This is an array of original strings
// and what they should be replaced with
$strings = array(
'Section: ' => 'Table: ',
'Section:' => 'Table:',
'Section' => 'Table',
'Section Alignment' => 'Table Alignment',
'NOTE: Leave a field empty if you do not want to modify the value of that field. For example, if you do not want to modify the value of "Section" - leave it empty.' => 'NOTE: Leave a field empty if you do not want to modify the value of that field. For example, if you do not want to modify the value of "Table" - leave it empty.',
'Level' => 'Section',
// 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( 'seatchart', 'mycustom_filter_gettext', 10, 3 );
