Show link if event has available tickets

I am currently running EE4. I am sure this has been answered before but I can not find a tread regarding only displaying an URL to purchase tickets if the event has available tickets. I am trying to add a button to my custom event list page.

Can someone share the php code with me? Thanks,


Tony

When you say custom event list is will depend on how you are doing this.

The event objects have the is_sold_out() method which will return true if the event is sold out, and false otherwise.

So you can check each event using something like 

if ( $event->is_sold_out() || $event->is_sold_out(TRUE) ) {
    //code for when an event is sold out.
} else {
    //code when event is NOT sold out.
}

The ‘TRUE’ parameter forces a check on all the datetimes to get their current values and checks if they are sold out. Without this parameter you are relying on the static variable within the object.

However, again this depends on what code you are using to build your custom event list.

I am sorry. yes I should have show how I was calling the events. Here it is

 NULL,
                        'limit' => 100,
                        'css_class' => NULL,
                        'show_expired' => FALSE,
                        'month' => NULL,
                        'category_slug' => 'maestro-series-1409680514',
                        'order_by' => 'start_date',
                        'sort' => 'ASC'
                );
                // run the query
                global $wp_query;
                $wp_query = new EE_Event_List_Query( $atts );
 
espresso_get_template_part( 'content', 'espresso_events-venues' );
 
                $x = new EE_Event_List_Query();
 
                        if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
                        ?>

So inside your loop, you can uncomment the var_dump($post) to take a look and make sure that you are retrieving EE_Event objects. Then you can make that method call on them to test to see if they are sold out, like Tony said:

if ( $post->is_sold_out() || $post->is_sold_out(TRUE) ) {

Thanks. This is what I decided to add to change my child theme code.

<?php $espresso_event_tickets_available = espresso_event_tickets_available(); ?>
<?php if($espresso_event_tickets_available == NULL) { ?>
<?php } else { ?>
<BR><BR>” class=”a_register_link”>BUY TICKETS
<?php } ?>

It has been working out fine so far today.
