Promotional Code input not showing in Cart

Hi,

I have added a promotional code, and set my event to show Promotional codes in edit page, and checked the promotional code that I want to use, but still it doesn’t show on my cart page. Any pointers as to how I can get this working?

Thanks,

Nick

Hi Nick,

Go to Event Espresso -> General Settings.

Look for ‘Allow discounts in the shopping cart?’ Set that to Yes.

Ah, thanks. I missed that setting. Any way to change the text ‘Enter Coupon Code’ to ‘Enter Discount Code’?

The easiest/safest way is by ‘Translating’ the phrase.

We have a guide available here which list some options.

Hi,

I am trying to change it with a custom function, but it is not working – the first line in the array works, but not the second:

function my_ee_filter_gettext( $translated, $original, $domain ) {

// This is an array of original strings
// and what they should be replaced with
$strings = array(
' Early Pricing' => ' (Early Bird Discount)',
' Enter Coupon Code' => ' Enter Discount Code',
// 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;
}

I have also tried:

'Enter Coupon Code' => 'Enter Discount Code',

Hi Nick,

Try

'Enter Coupon Code ' => 'Enter Discount Code ',

The space at the end is needed in this case.

Thanks, that worked. It’s not always clear what string to use!
