Hi Lorenzo,

Thanks for all the help, the document you shared helped.
There is one more thing, how can I change the default Facebook message?
I have found this topic:
https://eventespresso.com/topic/change-the-default-twitterfacebook-message/

Does that mean i have to use “Event Espresso Social Add-On”?
Can it be done without using the add-on? If not, then do i have to buy it?
I do have ‘Personal license’ for EE4.

Another quick question: Can i use the support license key for another website as well? Or do i have to buy another license key?

Regards,
SuYuen

Hello again Su Yen, I split this support post from your other one (https://eventespresso.com/topic/editing-registration-confirmation-email-message/#post-157436) since this is a different question.

On the support post that you linked to, that is for Event Espresso 3 so it would not apply for Event Espresso 4.

Event Espresso 4 uses custom post types so you can actually use a plugin like AddThis to add social sharing buttons to your site. That is a free plugin that is available from the WP plugins directory.

We do have an Events Social sharing plugin for Event Espresso 4 but it is for sharing after a registration so its different than a plugin that adds social buttons to a single event page. Here is more information on that plugin:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/events-social-sharing-add-on/

A support license key connects to a single site at a time. If this is a testing / staging site, then you can use the software on it, but you’ll need to manually update. If this is a new project, then I recommend picking up another support license via our store.

One option would be to put the description before the ticket selector. I haven’t tested it, but my guess is the sharing plugin you are using is just grabbing the first bit of content which so happens to be the ticket selector.

This function can be added to your child themes functions.php or to a site specific plugin to swap the order:

Hi Lorenzo and Dean,

Still working on the ‘Facebook Message Editing’.

Can you tell me how to show Date and Time of the Event in facebook message?
As of now it only display the date and time when the ticket sale will go on.

Also:
1) Can you guide me how to Edit the content/text on the Thank You page?

See image : http://i.imgur.com/B7pb8pT.jpg

2) Want to hide “Registration Details” heading and the table below it. How it can be done? Do not want to show this for future events as well.

Regards
Su Yuen.

Hi Su Yuen, which plugin are you using for the sharing feature? I’d like to test that out as most of those sharing plugins use the initial introductory text and do not have options to get specific information.

On the congratulations messaging, you can change it using this sample filter:

https://gist.github.com/lorenzocaum/b0fef298c2ecb2965353#file-new_gist_file-php

It can go into your child theme’s functions.php file or a site specific plugin.

The following line of CSS will hide the heading for registration details along with the content for the registration details. It can be added to your child theme’s functions.php file:

.ee-registrations-details-dv, .ee-registration-details-h3 {display:none;}

Thanks


Lorenzo

Hi Lorenzo,

Thank you very much, i am able to change the message in ThankYou Page.
But the Facebook message issue is still not solving.

The Facebook sharing wasn’t enabled by a plugin but by this code:

<div class=”fb-share-div”>
Share this event&t=<?php the_title(); ?>’, ‘facebook’, ‘width=640,height=480,left=0,top=0,location=no,status=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes’);” alt=”Share on Facebook” title=”Share on Facebook” target=”_blank”>
</div>

The above code is located at Appearance->Editor->Comments

With the above code, the Facebook sharer will be the one to scrape the page for content; however, with the use of Facebook OpenGraph description meta tag as follows:
<meta property=”og:description” content=”{content}”/>

I put new content in, but it does not show when i share the event.
I also tried to use JavaScript to extract the date and time of the event and then set it as the above tag’s content.
When I do this and access the page source, it shows that the content is updated as intended but when I click on the Facebook share button, it still shows the old content.

Can you please guide me what to do to solve this issue?

Regards
SuYuen.

I have sent the website credentials in my previous email to Sales Dept., but if you need it again can i have an email id on which i can send the login credentials? So that you can have a look inside.

Regards
SuYuen.

Hi, that happens if the ticket selector appears first on the page. Try relocating it to below the event description area:

Hello again Su Yuen,

As of Event Espresso 4.8.21, there is a custom display re-order option available in the WordPress dashboard.

Backup your WordPress and update your software

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/how-to-back-up-your-site/

You can see the change log for Event Espresso 4 here:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/ee4-changelog/

Remove existing filters for adjusting the order

If you have used some of the suggested filters to adjust the order of your event elements, then you’ll want to first remove those from your website and they may have been added to your child theme’s functions.php file or a site specific plugin.

Set a custom order through the Templates screen

Afterwards, go to your WP dashboard (WP-admin) –> Event Espresso –> Events –> Templates. The Use Custom Display Order options in the Templates screen can be used to reorder the events elements on the single event page as well as the events listing page.

Again, be sure that any of the filters for adjusting the order have been removed from your site specific plugin or your child theme’s functions.php file before turning on the template reorder option. Otherwise, you may see duplicate content.

Thanks


Lorenzo
