{has_spaces} conditional not working correctly

Hi,

The has_spaces placeholder doesn’t check whether an event has passed. If you can explain a bit more about what you’re trying to do I might be help more.

How are you adding that widget? If you use the default WordPress theme does that fix the problem?

Hi,

Thanks, if you go to https://ibiza2013.net/calendar/ you’ll see we have buttons on the calendar to buy tickets. I would only like to display these for events that people can buy tickets for, the events that have passed are irrelevant and look messy having all the buttons with “€0.00”,

In terms of the widget, I’ve tried using the shortcode and the widget in the sidebar / footer etc. I can’t try it on the standard theme as all of the events manager buttons etc are coded into the theme,

Hi,

hmm, have you tried using conditional placeholder {is_future}content{/is_future} ?

Hey,

Yea I tried that, but it doesn’t display any buttons, here’s the code I’ve used:

<li><div style="background: url(#_LATT{icon});" class="fullcalicon"></div><a href="#_EVENTURL">#_NAME</a> <br>{is_future} {has_spaces} <a href="#_EVENTURL"><div class="eventbuy_container" style="margin-top:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><div class="eventbuy">Tickets</div><div class="eventbuy_price"> #_EVENTPRICEMIN </div></div></a> {/has_spaces} {/is_future}<span>Display Details</span> <div class="panel"><p><strong>Line-up</strong>: #_EVENTTAGS<br/><strong>Venue</strong>: #_LOCATIONNAME{is_future}...{/is_future}<br/><a href="#_EVENTURL"><strong>+ More Details</strong></a></p></div></li>

Ah, yhat’s because we don’t nest conditionals by default.

See the docs here, bottom of the page. I just updated them since that’s a helpful nuance to point out:

Perfect, thank you Marcus, worked perfectly :). Is the code that I’m using very inefficient then and causing long load times, am I correct in thinking every event needs to do 2 processes, and therefor making the page very slow?

Also. I’m having issues with the multi-booking cart widget, for some reason if you add an event to the cart it displays very oddily, do you know if you have a fix for this as I’ve tried it all over the theme (not just in the sidebar) and it doesn’t work anywhere.

See: https://meakin.staging.wpengine.com/boat-parties/pukka-up-friday-boat-party-in-san-antonio/ and add a ticket to the cart.

Looks like something is interfering with the HTML of the form. If you switch to the default theme is the problem solved?

Depends on how many events you’re showing on that one page, and how many conditionals in each placeholder. a value of 2 shouldn’t make a huge difference.

MB cart widgets is a Pro feature, so you’d need to ask for help on that on our pro forums.

Ok cool.

My liscence for the pro-version has run out so I was hoping to get an answer here ?? Has anyone else noticed the issue or has it been fixed in a subsequent version?

Thanks
Russ

can I know what is your current EMPro version?

Hey, they are:

Events Manager: 5.4.4
Events Manager Pro 2.3.4

Cheers
Russ

I see, EMPro current stable version is 2.3.6 and it could have been fixed on this version.
