Event tickets in PDF with QR-code<\/h1>\n

The plugin Hello Event Ticket<\/strong> is a companion plugin to the Hello Event<\/strong> plugin. \u00a0Without the use of the Hello Event Ticket plugin customers will receive a confirmation email generated by Woocommerce, but no specific ticket. When this plugin is installed they will also receive a ticket in PDF. The ticket contains various information about the event, plus a QR-code that links back to the site from where the ticket has been purchased.<\/p>\n

Scanning the QR-code with a suitable mobile phone app or QR-code scanner able to bring a up a web page from a scanned URL will show a ticket handling page<\/em>. Depending on the plugin settings and capabilities associated with the user, the ticket handling page can:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Indicate if the ticket has already been checked-in by the attendant(s)<\/li>\n
  2. Show information about the ticket: purchaser information, number of entries, date of purchase, etc.<\/li>\n
  3. If the ticket has not been checked-in: show a button for checking in the attendance<\/li>\n
  4. If the ticket has already been checked-in: show a button to re-activate the ticket for a new check in<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In typical plugin settings all users will have access to 1 and 2, users with a first level of privileges (e.g. a subscriber role) will have access to 3, and users with further privileges (e.g. author or editor) will have access to 4.<\/p>\n

    Admin and shortcodes<\/h2>\n

    The activation the plugin:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • creates a database table to store information about tickets if it does not exist<\/li>\n
    • creates a folder in the uploads directory to store QR-codes and tickets in PDF if it does not exist<\/li>\n
    • creates a page with the slug hello-event-ticket-handler<\/em>\u00a0if it does not exist<\/li>\n
    • adds a Tickets menu in the admin side-bar<\/li>\n
    • adds a settings section to the admin side-bar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      The plugin defines the following shortcodes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t
      hello-event-ticket-index<\/td>Used to show a list of tickets generated<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
      hello-event-ticket-information<\/td>Used to show information about a ticket<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
      hello-event-ticket-cancel<\/td>Used to show buttons for checking-in or re-activating a ticket<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n

       <\/p>\n

      None of these shortcodes is necessary to use in normal operation.<\/p>\n

      The first shortcode makes it possible to show a list of tickets on the site front-end similar to what is shown in the admin area.<\/p>\n

      The next two shortcodes, which pick up an event-id from the URL parameter, \u00a0appear on the automatically generated hello-event-ticket-handler page.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1172","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tekomatik.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1172","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tekomatik.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tekomatik.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tekomatik.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tekomatik.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1172"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/tekomatik.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1172\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1190,"href":"https:\/\/tekomatik.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1172\/revisions\/1190"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tekomatik.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1172"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
