I have the same problem. The only ‘cure’ seems to be to delete the plugin! Not very helpful when you are selling tickets.

Have you had any success getting a better solution?

I think I’ve sorted this one for myself. I’ll post the answer here just in case anyone is still using this plugin and wants to accept vouchers.

What I did was change the labels in $clientFields in stageshowtrolley.php. I used the text fields for street and city and changed their labels to collect SaleRef and Voucher numbers instead. I commented out the other fields since I only need name and email for processing vouchers.

I then changed the relevant msgid in stageshow.pot to remove the reference to reserving seats and changed the reserve button to read ‘vouchers’.

There are two difficulties with this. Firstly, modifying the core files like this means that any future updates will overwrite my changes. I don’t think that is likely to happen soon.

The second is that there is no way to validate the voucher numbers so the email has to be a holding message until they can be validated manually.

I did write some html to call a php script to collect and validate the numbers and store them in a table but this would only work outside stageshow. Something stops it when it is embedded in the trolley.

The neater solution would have been to intercept clicks on the renamed reserve button and call an external script that would read the seats chosen and process the vouchers, but I don’t know enough javascript to attempt this.

I hope this workaround helps others in the same situation.

Now that’s interesting. stageshow-custom.js only collects html notes if “Checkout” is chosen. Not for “Reserve”. Anyone know how to fix that?

Thanks Bo

That is very helpful. Allowing our registered users to pay by bank transfer will save us some PayPal fees.

I don’t know if this helps, but we provide free tickets for carers. We do it by adding a ticket type “Carers” in the Price Plan at zero price.

I’m wondering if it would be useful to have different sales emails for each show. That would seem to solve your problem and mine. I would like to include the show logo and customise the text to the show that has been booked.

We have two shows active. As a test, I set one inactive so the page shows only the performance dates for the active show, but I still cannot proceed beyond there.

Graham

Thanks again Chris. That did it.

I can’t get this to work for me.
I’ve added the lines:

//Extend life of show//
define(‘MJSLIB_ADMIN_EXPIRETIMEOFFSET’, 40000000);

to stageshow-wp-config.php and tried various values for the constant, but I can only see the current show when I go to add sales.

Any suggestions would be most welcome as our treasurer is getting quite twitchy….

Wow! Nice site.

Thanks for the tip. It’s worked just fine. Well it did when I remembered to put the comma in…

Thanks Chris

If it helps anyone. I just added the sign up for our newsletter to the success and cancelled pages the customer sees after buying their tickets (or not buying them)

Graham

Yep. Seems OK now.

Oddly, it also seems to have corrected the erroneous update count. That has always shown one more update pending than the actual number. Maybe just a coincidence or more wordpress weirdness.

And here

Thanks Malcolm. I’ll try that.
