Can you add to T_DESIGN_ELEMENT?

I have a feeling the answer to my question is a big 'NO', but thought it worth asking....

As there is a limit of 6 user-defined elements for ticket design purposes, can I add another to T_DESIGN_ELEMENT to create more? We have used up our 6 and need another!

Thanks,

  • No, you can’t add more entries to T_DESIGN_ELEMENT.

  • It is worth nothing, however, that although you can only have 6 custom elements you can actually have 6 custom elements for headers, 6 for receipts and 6 for tickets.  So if you're using elements for a mixture of these you can actually have more than 6.  Just put code in LP_TICKET_ELEMENTS that reacts appropriately to the @design_type parameter.

  • Tash,

     

    You can only have 6 but that doesn't mean that you can't use the same ones for different purposes at the same time. I have and currently do use "IF" statements to target different performances. So you can nest the if statements for different performances Such as the example below.

     

        IF @ude_no = 1 AND

            @design_type = 'T'

            BEGIN

                DECLARE

                    @perf_no INT ,

                    @seat_no INT ,

                    @Zone INT

     

                SELECT

                    @perf_no = sl.perf_no ,

                    @seat_no = s.seat_no ,

                    @zone = sl.zone_no

                FROM

                    t_seat s ,

                    T_SUB_LINEITEM sl

    --where sl.sli_no = @cur_sli_no

                WHERE

                    sl.sli_no = @cur_sli_no AND

                    s.seat_no = sl.seat_no

     

                IF @perf_no = 2358 OR

                    @perf_no = 2399 OR

                    @perf_no = 2403 OR

                    @perf_no = 2532 OR

                    @perf_no = 2536 OR

                    @perf_no = 2540

                    BEGIN

                        IF @Zone = 1324 OR

                            @Zone = 1330 OR

                            @Zone = 1337 OR

                            @Zone = 1343

                            SELECT

                                @ude_value = LTRIM(RTRIM(b.description))--'General Admission' -- Pulling for the door.

                            FROM

                                t_seat a ,

                                TR_SECTION b

                            WHERE

                                a.section = b.id AND

                                seat_no = @seat_no

                        ELSE

                            SELECT

                                @ude_value = LTRIM(RTRIM(b.additional_text)) +

                                '  ' + LTRIM(RTRIM(b.description))

                            FROM

                                t_seat a ,

                                TR_SECTION b

                            WHERE

                                a.section = b.id AND

                                seat_no = @seat_no

                    END

     

            END

    Thanks Marty, this would have worked a charm but unfortunately it is for the same header and same 'group' of performances.

    The 7th one was more of a 'nice to have'. Good to know though.
