Delete event ticket link in a past event

(@dfactory)

Yes, of course.

You may use for e.g. em_single_event_tickets filter hook. It allows you to control ticket data.

Try ths like this in functions.php:

function custom_em_single_event_tickets( $tickets ) {
	$post_id = get_the_ID();

	if ( $post_id ) {
		// get event date
		$end_date = em_get_the_end( $post_id );

		// check if event has passed
		if ( strtotime( $end_date ) < current_time( 'timestamp' ) ) {
			$tickets = array();
		}
	}
	return $tickets;
}
add_filters( 'em_single_event_tickets', 'custom_em_single_event_tickets' );

I’m getting this error:

Call to undefined function add_filters() in…

I display events url in my content-single-event template like this:

<?php  if (!function_exists('em_display_event_tickets_url')){
	function em_display_event_tickets_url($post_id = 0){

		$post_id = (int)(empty($post_id) ? get_the_ID() : $post_id);

        $tickets_url = get_post_meta($post_id, '_event_tickets_url', true);
        if ($tickets_url) : 

		?>

         <?php if(ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE=='es') { ?>
        <p class="curso_btn"><a class="sf-button standard accent standard ml0" href="<?php echo esc_url($tickets_url); ?>" target="_blank"><span class="text"><?php _e('RESERVAR PLAZA',  'events-maker'); ?></span></a></p>
        <?php }elseif(ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE=='ca'){ ?>
        <p class="curso_btn"><a class="sf-button standard accent standard ml0" href="<?php echo esc_url($tickets_url); ?>" target="_blank"><span class="text"><?php _e('RESERVAR PLA?A',  'events-maker'); ?></span></a></p>
        <?php } ?>
		<?php endif;
        }
} ?>
		<?php // Display button get ticket
	    em_display_event_tickets_url(); ?>

Am I doing somthing in a bad way?

Thanks so much for the help.

Sorry, it should be add_filter.

But your method would be ok too – just take a look at my code above to see how to check if the event has past.

I’m checking if the event has past with your piece of code, but I think it doesn’t making effect when compare both dates.

I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong.

<?php  if (!function_exists('em_display_event_tickets_url')){
		function em_display_event_tickets_url($post_id = 0){		

		// get event date
		//$post_id = (int)(empty($post_id) ? get_the_ID() : $post_id);
		$post_id = get_the_ID();
		$end_date = em_get_the_end( $post_id );
		// get ticket url
		$tickets_url = get_post_meta($post_id, '_event_tickets_url', true); 

		// check if event has passed
		if ( strtotime( $end_date ) < current_time( 'timestamp' )) {

			if(ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE=='es') { ?>
			<p class="curso_btn"><a class="sf-button standard accent standard ml0" href="#" target="_blank"><span class="text"><?php _e('SOLICITAR MATERIALES',  'events-maker'); ?></span></a></p>
			<?php }elseif(ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE=='ca'){ ?>
			<p class="curso_btn"><a class="sf-button standard accent standard ml0" href="#" target="_blank"><span class="text"><?php _e('SOL·LICITAR MATERIALS',  'events-maker'); ?></span></a></p>
			<?php }

		}else{ ?>

			 <?php if(ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE=='es') { ?>
            <p class="curso_btn"><a class="sf-button standard accent standard ml0" href="<?php echo esc_url($tickets_url); ?>" target="_blank"><span class="text"><?php _e('RESERVAR PLAZA',  'events-maker'); ?></span></a></p>
            <?php }elseif(ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE=='ca'){ ?>
            <p class="curso_btn"><a class="sf-button standard accent standard ml0" href="<?php echo esc_url($tickets_url); ?>" target="_blank"><span class="text"><?php _e('RESERVAR PLA?A',  'events-maker'); ?></span></a></p>
            <?php } ?>

		<?php }
        }

} ?>
		<?php // Display button get ticket
	    em_display_event_tickets_url(); ?>

Please check what is the output of those two:

echo strtotime( $end_date );
echo current_time( ‘timestamp’ );

strtotime = 1442511610
current_time = no result

I’ve tryied this:

strtotime (“now”) = a number like strtotime($end_date)

But the conditional didn’t work with “now” neither.

It should work – it’s just comparing two numbers.

But isn’t the em_display_event_tickets_url() function out of the condition? It will be always displayed.
