Yes and no.

That code will only look for a string that is passed to __() or _e() and looks specifically for ‘ or ‘, here is the code within the event list that outputs that string:

'separator' => __(" or ", 'event_espresso')

So unless you have another string, such as:

$somevar =  __(" or ", 'some_domain')

Then the only ‘ or ‘ that will be replaced it the one within EE.

If you are comfortable editing template files I can provide details on how to do that if you prefer?

If you developers are familiar with EE this should be fairly straight forward.

Within event-espresso/templates/ you will find event_list.php and event_list_display.php

Copy both of those fiel to wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates/

This will keep the modifications you made safe from updates, when editing template, upload them to this location.

So then open the event_list_display.php file.

Around line 137 you will find:

'separator' => __(" or ", 'event_espresso')

Either remove or comment out that line, personally I would comment it out like so:

//'separator' => __(" or ", 'event_espresso')

That will remove the ‘ or ‘ string from the cart link on that page.

Also on line 152 you should find the output for the register now button, you could also remove that link, it will be the one above this:

Or you can continue to do that with CSS if you prefer.

Hope that helps 🙂

Should that link also be commented out?

That link is displayed when you set the ‘Display Registration form’ to No within an event, so it depends if you will be using that feature or not.

/event-registration-current-events/?regevent_action=show_shopping_cart

That link should work fine, looking at the above it seems you have changed the default EE page slug? (It is fine to do so, just checking)

1) Detect if there are events in the cart and hide this link if there are none?
2) Count the number of events in the cart and display it along with this link.

Both of these features are not available within EE and as you are using your own custom links you’ll need to check the session and see if any events are within. I would recommend looking at the code for the ‘Cart widget’ available within the MER Add-on, this has something like:

if (empty($_SESSION['espresso_session']['events_in_session'])){return;}

You could set a flag using that code, then wrap your links within a check for that flag and only display the links it true.

The ‘Add To Cart’ link should change to a ‘View Cart’ link when the event is added to the cart, is that not what you are looking for?

I’m not sure what that is for – does it disable the capability for someone to change the name associated with the event registration?

If you edit one of your events, then look in the options on the right, you’ll see this – http://take.ms/fnuML

When that is set to Yes, the event will display the registration form – http://take.ms/TPF8t

When set to no, only the description is included – http://take.ms/iFXUs
(This events description is empty, but you can see you can’t register onto that event now, as the reg form is hidden)

So at the same time, the event list will display ‘Register Now’ if that setting is set to Yes, and ‘View Details’ if set to no – http://take.ms/SFP93

I just hard coded the link to cart – copied it from an event. When you mention a slug, are you referring to a shortcode? Is so, Where do I find it?

This /event-registration-current-events/ is the page slug, the slug is what is used in the URL and is what your users see in the address bar.

You’ll find this in the permalink structure when editing the page – http://take.ms/Be4Bh

You can also change this from the ‘Pages’ view in WP.

Is there a setting so that when an event is added to a cart, the number of attendees in the cart is set to 1? It defaults to 0.

There is not setting to allow this, but it can be done using the information in this thread:
