Hello,
I’m looking to make some back-end customization to your The EE3 core plugin. I would like to add multiple attendee limits – one for each ticket type.
Since you are familiar with the back-end files and DB, I would appreciate as much information as you can give.
Sincerely,
Gary Formisano

Hi Gary,
Knowing what I know about the EE3 codebase and database structure, this isn’t really possible.
I can let you know that attendee limits per ticket type is a feature that was built from the ground up in Event Espresso 4 and ready to use with no modifications required.

Hi Josh,
Unfortunately the ticket scanning capability is 100% necessary for our operation and I believe EE4 does not yet support this functionality.
One complication is that we cannot make multiple event registrations (using the add-on) because we have added &TEXT_12=”promoter_name” for our promoters. We send out unique promoter links and if we enable multiple events (with multiple event registration) for users, there will be multiple event URLS and we can’t send multiple links to the promoters per ticket type.
With that said, Maybe you could suggest an alternative. We currently plan to just watch the event and remove the ticket type when that ticket type sells out.
Sincerely,
Gary Formisano

You might be able to eliminate the complication by only sending promoter links per session ID.

Thanks for that suggestion Josh.
I’m willing to give that a try. Can you point me in the right direction for this modification?
Sincerely,

Hi Gary,
I don’t know how you’re adding the promoter links to begin with.

Hi Josh,
Dean helped me with that functionality. See https://eventespresso.com/topic/prefill-custom-question/
We added an extra registration question, and enabled adding &TEXT_12=”promoter_name”, so it shows up on the attendee excel sheet.
Sincerely,
Gary Formisano

Hi Gary,
We don’t generally support customizations, but if you can post your custom code into a gist or a pastebin and link back here, someone can take a look at your code. We might be able point out where to tweak your custom code to make it work the way you want it to.

Hi Josh,
We are having an upcoming event that needs assigned seats. If we purchased the seating chart add-on, I assume that it would be able to handle a limited number of assigned seats, fulfilling the functionality we were discussing here? (only the assigned seat tickets have a limited number of tickets. The General Adminission seats have unlimited tickets).
Sincerely,

Hi Gary,
It might, but one thing to be aware of is the seating chart add-on is not compatible with the Multi Event Registration add-on.
What this means is an event that has the seat assignment option turned on can be added to the Multi Event Registration cart, but if someone registers for it, they will not get a seat assignment chart in the registration form. They’ll need to go through the single registration form to be able to select a seat.
This might work out for you since General Admission seats have unlimited ticket.
