Pre-Fill Ticket fields

[Uwe Matern]

Good Morning from Hamburg,

next question on our (long) way of implementation 😉

We use Event Calendar Pro and Event Ticket Plus.

We have to manage hundreds of events where all have a “standard” Ticket (RSVP). So, the question is whether the fields: “Ticket-Name”, “Ticket description” and “Currency” could be pre-filled with standard values as: “Anmeldung” for “Ticket Name” .

That would save us a lot of clicks and copy & paste activities while creating a new event.

Best regards
Uwe

Hallo Uwe and good evening from Geneva, 😉

Great question you have there.

I’ll check around if pre-filling some values would be possible with a snippet.

Most probably it is possible if you hack into the core files and add the values there. Possibly in this file, though I’m not sure if it works: \wp-content\plugins\event-tickets\src\admin-views\meta-box.php

Or you could use jQuery to fill those fields after the page loads / new ticket form loads.

Or another option would be using a plugins for your browser, like GreaseMonkey for Firefox and set up a script that would do the pre-filling of data, either automatically or on a keypress.

Another tool I find useful, also in my support work is AutoHotKey, where you can set up a script of a series of keystrokes (special keys like TAB is also supported) and mouseclicks. (Since I know this software I would use this personally.)

I hope this can help you get started.

Cheers,
Andras

Good Morning Andras,

thanks again for your quick and helpful response.
Most probably I will wait for your proposal reg. the snippet (no urgency, pls).

The other tools you proposed are not applicable for me because:

GreaseMonkey is for Firefox and I use Chrome as the backend browser and
AutoHotKey runs only on Windows where we are completely on Mac OS with all our environment.

But we found a further option to overcome this topic. We tried the import of tickets (where the name, the description and the stock are specified). With this approach we could attached quit easily tickets to an event which we also imported (at least parts) beforehand.

So, the snippet would help in the cases where we manually add an event with an assigned ticket.

Best regards and a nice weekend.

Hallo Uwe,

I checked with the team and creating a snippet for this would be pretty complicated (and beyond our regular support coverage).

I also checked for Chrome / MacOS solution that you could use.

• GreaseMonkey -> Tampermonkey (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tampermonkey/dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo?hl=en)
• http://www.keyboardmaestro.com/main/
• http://www.hammerspoon.org/
• https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/

I hope you will find some of these useful. Let me know.

Cheers,
Andras
