Required ticket type is sold out – booking should be closed

    In Events Manage it is possible to set up a ticket as required. So any order must include at least one piece of this ticket type. But if that ticket type is sold out, one can still buy the other ticket types.

    In my example I have tickets for adults and children. As we hold family events, both types are required. It should not be possible to buy only a ticket for an adult without a child, neither for a child without an adult.

    So is it possible in Events Manager to close bookings, when one of the required ticket types is sold out?

    might be possible but you need custom coding to make this work and this tutorial can help you out – https://wp-events-plugin.com/tutorials/creating-conditional-placeholders-for-events/

    Thanks angelo,
    so to correctly understand you suggest adding a custom placeholder like {all_required_tickets_bookable} and add this one to my booking form template?

    Not the prettiest solution but sounds reasonable to me and should work. Thanks for that idea.

    Still open to alternative solutions.

    yes that is correct since this is not possible out of the box and the custom conditional placeholder is the solution at the moment.

    Here is my solution:

    functions.php

    function requiredTicketUnavailable($EM_Event) {
	$unavailable = false;
	foreach($EM_Event->get_bookings()->get_tickets()->tickets as $EM_Ticket){
		if ($EM_Ticket->ticket_required) {
			if (!$EM_Ticket->is_available()) {
				$unavailable = true;
			}
		}
	}
	return $unavailable;
}
    function filterEventOutputCondition($replacement, $condition, $match, $EM_Event){
    if (is_object($EM_Event)) {

        switch ($condition) {
            case 'all_required_tickets_available':
                if (!requiredTicketUnavailable($EM_Event))
                    $replacement = preg_replace('/\{\/?all_required_tickets_available\}/', '', $match);
                else
                    $replacement = '';
                break;

			case 'required_ticket_unavailable':
                if (requiredTicketUnavailable($EM_Event))
                    $replacement = preg_replace('/\{\/?required_ticket_unavailable\}/', '', $match);
                else
                    $replacement = '';
                break;	

        }
    }
    return $replacement;
}

add_filter('em_event_output_condition', 'filterEventOutputCondition', 10, 4);

    In the event markup in events managers settings I can then use {required_ticket_unavailable}Code{/required_ticket_unavailable} and
    {all_required_tickets_available}Code{/all_required_tickets_available}. Works fine.
