event capacity - sold out :: fully booked :: booked out

Hello,

how can I change the event capacity from "0" to "sold out/fully booked/booked out"? (frontend: event description)

best regards

It's totally doable! You'll just have to add a few lines of custom code.

If you're site operates in just a single language, then you can simply insert the new text into your new code; if your site is multi-language, then you'll have to create a translation entry and use that Key instead of the hard-coded text (which I haven't covered here...)

For the sake of helping everyone to learn how to make changes like this, here's what I did:

1) Looking at a live event on the EventBooking demo site, I see that the default text attached to the desired Event Property is "Available Place", so I search BackEnd -> Components -> EventBooking -> Translation for "Available Place", and find that the Key for this text is "EB_AVAILABLE_PLACE". We'll need this key to find the right file & and line to edit.

2) Next, I search all the files contained within \components\com_eventbooking\view\ for "EB_AVAILABLE_PLACE". There are several hits. Let's make the change to the common\tmpl\event_properties.php template as I'm guessing that this where you want the new text to appear. You can add code to all the files, or just pick-and-choose the template view(s) that you actually use.


3) Open \components\com_eventbooking\view\common\tmpl\event_properties.php file and look for the line (line 164 on my copy) that reads: Replace it with:
To keep the changed file from being overwritten during update, save your edited file to \templates\YOUR-TEMPLATE\html\com_eventbooking\common\event_properties.php. If editing a different file, of course use that file's filename.

4) Done! Test your change and make sure it works. If your change doesn't appears, clear your browser cache, your site cache, and/or your cloud cache (if you use a service like CloudFlare, Amazon, etc for caching).
