Hi,
We use EventEspresso for registering students in our classes.
Therefore, the term “ticket” is confusing to some of them. They don’t understand why they’d purchase a ticket for a class, rather than a spot or some other word.
How can I change the word “ticket” through EE4 so that it is clearer for my clients?
Thanks,
Paul

Hi,
The best way to do that would be via the language files, we have a guide to a few options on how to go about his here: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/how-to-change-wording-with-poedit/

Hi,
Tried all three methods. None seem to work.
I’m trying to change “AVAILABLE TICKETS” header for instance on the registration page and nothing seems to make a difference.
Any other suggestions?

Hi,
I tested with the gettext function in a site specific plugin and it worked fine: http://take.ms/s2au0
I didn’t retest the language files but those are usually tried and tested methods already.

That seems to work for some things, but not others.
For instance, I can change the AVAILABLE TICKETS to SPACES AVAILABLE, but underneath the description where it says the maxinum tickets available for purchase, I cannot change that ticket text to something else.
Similarly, I cannot change the headings for the event details where it lists:
EVENT DATE THIS TICKET THIS TICKET TOTAL TICKETS
SOLD LEFT SOLD
Not sure what the difference is.

Hi Paul,
You’ll see the difference if you open up Event Espresso in your IDE. Here are a few examples:
This Ticket%sSold, This Ticket%sLeft, Total Tickets%sSold, Total Spaces%sLeft.
The above %s are there to allow for dynamically adding html, without directly adding the html to the translated string.

Josh,
But, I’m just trying to change the word ticket to space and tickets to spaces.
And that doesn’t seem to work and I’m at a loss as to why.
Even if I have the code search for Ticket%sSold and replace it with Spots%sSold, it doesn’t work.

Hi,
The thing with string translation in WordPress, is that you can’t change individual words in a string, you have to change the full string (even if you are keeping most of it the same).
This will change the tickets sold area wording.
function mycustom_filter_gettext( $translated, $original, $domain ) {
// This is an array of original strings
// and what they should be replaced with
$strings = array(
'This Ticket%sSold' => 'Spot%sSold',
'This Ticket%sLeft' => 'Spot%sLeft',
'Total Tickets%sSold' => 'Total Spots%sSold',
'Total Spaces%sLeft' => 'Total Spots%sLeft',
// 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', 'mycustom_filter_gettext', 10, 3 );

Okay,
So the one string left giving me difficulty is:
* Please note that a maximum number of 4 tickets can be purchased for this event per order.
Where I want to change “tickets” to “spots”
Thanks,
Paul

This is the string in full with a suggested replacement:
'Please note that a maximum number of %d tickets can be purchased for this event per order.' => 'Please note that a maximum number of %d spots can be purchased for this event per order.',
