I changed the code into this, which seems to work. But Josh, if you see anything stupid in what I did, please let me know. I’m not a coder 😉

<?php
if ( class_exists( 'Tribe__Tickets__RSVP' ) ) {

	remove_filter( 'the_content', array( Tribe__Tickets__RSVP::get_instance(), 'front_end_tickets_form_in_content' ), 11 );
	add_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'password_protected_ticket_form', 10 );

	function password_protected_ticket_form( ) {
		if ( ! post_password_required() ) {
			
			echo Tribe__Tickets__RSVP::get_instance()->front_end_tickets_form_in_content(  );
		}
	}
}
?>

I set these things to exclude in the WP Fastest Cache settings, so this should be ok then?

Hi Nico,

No, users are just visitors and not logged into the site.

How do I do what you suggest?
So, to achieve this what I can think of is just limit the user to select one ticket ticket type. If other one is selected then the others should get set to ‘zero’. Makes sense?

[Jack]

Yes, but what url to add? Most of the time I use WP Fastest Cache which can exclude a page from the cache by checking an option on the individual page. But each QRcode has its own url.

Hi Josh,

Many thanks, this works! We will go ahead with adding new pages and tickets, but I expect everything to work from now on.

Thanks again for your help!

Hi Josh. You are from the Modern Tribe support? Perhaps I can give you temporary admin access to the site so you can look for yourself. This is all taking too much time… 🙁

[Jack]

Hi Josh,

I’m afraid that didn’t help either.
I’m using Genesis and added the snippet code by hooking it into the head or before_genesis hook.
Hopefully this can be resolved shortly 🙁 because my clients to make the tickets available. Sound like a bug to me.

[Jack]

That didn’t work, and besides, I don’t use Woocommerce. In this case/website they are all free tickets, only meant to be used for scanning attendees.

[Jack]

Meanwhile I updated all plugins, switched to the Twenty Sixteen theme, deactivated all plugins except Event Tickets and Event Tickets Plus, but still the same problems. Logged in or logged out: no content above the tickets, no password field for the page.

[Jack]

I think I understand. One of the tickets hadn’t reached the start date yet 🙂

[Jack]

Hi Cliff, so there is no QR app you guys could recommend? I would expect you must have all kinds of experience with this.

[Jack]

Ok, so because this is about the Tickets Plus plugin I checked the po files from that plugin and not the po files from the regular Tickets plugin. The strings I needed are in that file.

[Jack]

That’s not how I expected the plugin/apps to work 🙁 I tried it with a series of tickets, which means scanning, browser opens, quickly push the ‘back’ button on my phone to return to the QR app, scan another barcode, etc. etc. etc. That seems to work but is not user friendly. I’m sure that people at the entrance of a zoo or concert don’t have to do this. So it works, but only one at a time.

It would be helpful if the connection to the web page would be made in the background and people can continue to scan. That would mean finding a QR app that does this, but I haven’t found one. The only alternative I can see with the Quickmark app is that it offers bulk scanning, but without connecting to a webpage. It stores all scans and afterwards you can email all the history in a csv file. I did that, and an option would be if that csv file could be imported into the attendees list in WordPress. Then the check in can be done afterwards to see who attended and who did not. Not ideal because duplicates would not be seen by the scanner, but it would provide continues scan.

Best option would be, with the plugin as it works now, is a scanner app that can work with browsers opening the links in the background. Do you know of such a QR app? That would help very much.

I tried disabling plugins but that didn’t work. But then I disabled ‘continued scanning’ in the QR app which opens the browser after each scan. The browser on my phone showed ‘checked in’, and when I refreshed the browserpage of my pc it also said Checked in. So it seems to be working, but… I need some kind of continued scanning because if there is a row of visitors checking in at the entrance, the current method means 1. scanning 2. opening browser and making contact with the site 3. message Checked in 4. Going back to the QR app and made the next scan. That takes much too long. The person at the entrance should only need to keep on scanning without any further action.

How can I do that? Do I need another app? If so, which one would provide continued scanning?
