Prerequisites:
- Your site needs reliable email delivery that is capable of delivering attachments. I recommend the use of a delivery plugin like FluentSMTP or SureMail for your email delivery
- You need a surecart licence and surecart setup on your site.
- You need a quality snippet manager or the ability to add to your Child Themes Functions.php
- Some FTP knowledge or the ability to load tickets to your website is useful; if you have users who are not technical and need to do the uploading, I suggest setting up a syncbackpro, available here: https://ta0.uk/syncbackpro. A syncback pro video will be coming soon!
- You can find your path for ticket loading using troubleshooting tools.
The following video shows you how to actually set up and use Ticket Manager Pro. Once you have it all installed in your WordPress instance, you should have a new menu in your settings menu called Ticket Manager. Below is a nice image of the admin area all setup for two events
The Following Additional resources are to assist with your setup and working with Ticket Manager Pro
So the first thing I did was create my tickets here is a little video of my using my PDF editor to do this; you can watch the following video to understand how I did that
The next step was to work out our path, and we can do that easily using RUP Troubleshooting Tools. The video below explains how to use RUP Troubleshooting to find details on your path, which you will need for your files.
Next, we need to make sure our files are created in PDF exchange (your editor of choice is on your site). Now, how you do this is entirely up to you. here is an example of my using FileZilla to upload them to the site below on the same level as public_html so they are not web accessible for extra security.
Well, now it's time to add the Snippet below (Ticket Manager Pro) to your snippet plugin or functions.php. I recommend you use WPCODEBOX as it's what it was designed with or Functions.php.
Please Note: This is a snippet, and you will have access to any modifications I make to it. I don't guarantee backward compatibility, and unlike a plugin, I am not planning on maintaining this code long-term. I have two more idea release cycles I'd like to add to it, one being a sold ticket report and one being a dashboard shortcut for in-date tickets. I may never modify it again after you purchase access to the page, not a service or a product. I will likely raise the price of access by 60% by 1st March 2025 you have a lot of value in this snippet.
