Hello everyone,
We are planning on implementing Print at Home ticketing for our theatre within the next month. We also sell tickets for other venues in our city. On site we have implemented N-SCAN, however this is not an option for off site clients and venues.
Is there a way to make Print at Home delivery method only applicable to performances in our venue, and only if our performances are the only items in a shopping cart? All standard single ticket sales occur in the same default MOS so I'm looking for exceptions to the rules in TX_MOS_SHIP_METHOD so that Print at Home is not an option if items in a cart include performances at veues away from The Grand Theatre.
Any thoughts or ideas you have on this are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Duane
I'm not sure if this is kosher, since we're not supposed to modify standard procedures, but Berkeley rep presented in the TNEW magic session on a change they made to wp_get_shipping_method so that will call is the only option if someone selects their under 30 pricetype. I'm guessing it's okay since there was a presentation on it. Seems like you could do something similar to prevent PAH from showing up depending on the venue. It was a TNEW session but I don't think that modification is TNEW specific...I might be wrong though.
Thanks Amanda, I will have a look at this one. I actually wanted to attend that presentation as we are also on TNEW, but I was presenting at the same time.
We created a web content entry for performance set up called "Allow Print at Home" with the value = No. Our web site checks for this content value and if it set to "no" for any performance, print at home is not an available option to the customer. Since delivery methods are at the order level, this will apply to all performances in the cart regardless if it is a venue that has scanners or not.

Hi Marty,
I like that idea, keeps it very clean. Could you possibly share code for that?
Here is the entry in the tr_inv_content system table.
description
edit_mask
use_web_api
ref_tbl
ref_id
ref_desc
ref_where
Ref_sort
Allow Print at Home
Number
Y
tr_gooesoft_Dropdown
id
code=1
On the web, they just loop through each performances web content and if they come across a value of no, then they remove the print at home option from the drop down list.

Fantastic, thanks Marty! I'll try this out and let you know if I have any issues once we are testing.
Cheers,
Hi Duane,
Unless there is code on your site to take action based on the presence of that content, nothing is going to happen. And since you said you are on TNEW, I’m pretty sure there is no such code. I suggest opening a help ticket with the TNEW team to see if they can help out (it will probably require some custom work).
