I added the solutions printed in this post (https://eventespresso.com/topic/getting-cut-off-the-ticket-whenever-print/#post-175085) – but it does not work.

Hi there,

When you added the code from the above thread did you do that in visual or text mode?

You need to use text mode for it to work.


Jsanborn

Yes – in text mode

This section of code is not loading on the tickets:

<style>
@media print{.newpage {page-break-before:always}}
</style>

Did you add that to the ticket template? – http://take.ms/IhjYL

Your using .pagebreak so your code would actually be:

<style>
@media print{.pagebreak {page-break-before:always}}
</style>

Here is how the code is on the ticket template https://thetheaterschool.com/solutions/

Hmm, strange.

There are some differences in the template to my ticket html output.

Can you add another class to the pagebreak div, for example:

<div class="pagebreak testing"></div>

done

Are you loading a custom ticket template on that event?

My tickets still do not load with the ‘testing’ class on that div so it looks like the template your editing is not the template for that event.

I am using a custom template – I editing this from the ROMEO & JULIET – SHOW TICKETS Event – from the Html Notifications Area of Event

you can see the code at this link https://thetheaterschool.com/solutions/

Thank you.

For the event I registered onto you are using the ‘Global’ template – http://take.ms/a0exA

That template is the one that shows within Event Espresso -> Messages -> Default Message Templates. (or you can click ‘edit’ on the correct row for tickets shown in the screenshot above)

That default template does not have the CSS from above saved in the template – http://take.ms/ETVEo

You need to either edit that default global template, or set the your events to use your custom Ticket template (select the ‘Tickets’ template in the dropdown for tickets shown above on each event).

I updated the default message templates but when I go into the Event I am seeing a different notification selection. Are you going into Romeo & Juliet Show Tickets?

I updated the default message templates

My tickets now include the code and separate the tickets onto individual pages.

Are you going into Romeo & Juliet Show Tickets?

No, as I’m not registered onto that event it seems.

In order to receive the tickets I needed my registration to be approved, so I used these tickets – http://take.ms/aH7rD

As those tickets are ‘free’ the registration is approved and the tickets sent.

Looking at the registrations in the admin those tickets apply to Romeo & Juliet event – http://take.ms/Sw3KB

Perhaps this is my poor design flaw – but I am asking about ticket purchasing for a performance – this table is located under the banner Purchase Tickets on the R&J page SEE: https://thetheaterschool.com/romeo-and-juliet/#tickets

The event is named Romeo & Juliet – Show Tickets

The tickets for that event also work for me, do they not for you?

It shouldn’t matter which event it is for as long as the template selected for that event has the code changes mentioned above. You’ve now added the above to the ‘global’ template which means your events will use that by default, the event your now asking about has a custom template selected, as long as that template has the code above it should work.

You are saying that multiple tickets now print on separate sheets?


Tony

Yes, when I use the browser print function each ticket shows up on a separate page.

Is that still not happening for you?


Jsanborn

November 21, 2016 at 8:10 am

No – they are not printing correctly – only 1 1/2 out of 4 tickets are printing and the color is gone from the header.

It looks like you have removed my registration so I cant view the tickets any longer, can you send me the URL for the tickets you are viewing please.

If you prefer not to post that on the forum you can send the link to support[at]eventespresso.com

This was resolved earlier but I will add some notes here for future readers.

The problem above was cause by previewing the ticketing email within the message activity log and then attempting to print the tickets from there, like this – http://take.ms/gImwX

That preview is an iframe within the page, so printing that page prints the whole section, not the tickets, and will not work as expected.

Rather than printing from that view you need to view the tickets directly within the browser. You can right click on the ‘Print your tickets’ link and copy the address, then open that up in a new tab to view the tickets the same way your users would.

Printing from that page works in the same way it would for your users.


Jsanborn

The problem was originally caused by purchasers reporting their tickets were not printing correctly. This was corrected by adding the style code.

Viewing the tickets correctly was resolved by understanding that right clicking on the ‘Print your tickets’ link and opening in a browser would open the tickets for viewing and printing in the same way a user would have. Viewing tickets through the Action Dialog Box within the Event is not the best way to view ticketing.

Thank you for your help!
