Hi
I have a scenario I am trying to set up for our Santa’s Grotto for this year
We have slots of half an hour
Within each of these slots we sell 8 child tickets to see santa that can be booked by the public
We also have a further 2 tickets that are available should anyone want to book in on the day.
Is there a way to make these two tickets only available to be booked by staff members and not have this available on the main website for the public to see
Thanks
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,
Whilst we do not have the option to create ‘admin only’ tickets, another user has previously shared their solution for this which may work for what you need:
https://github.com/chasecmiller/EE4-AdminOnlyTicket
You need to create an additional ticket and publish the event, then re-edit the ticket and you should find an option to make that ticket admin only.
(Note we do not provide support for this plugin it was share via another user and so is not our code)

Thanks Tony
I have a site specific plugin – are you able to advise if I simply drop the code into this?
Thanks

The code in that repo is setup as a plugin, so you can download the zip and install it as a normal plugin – http://take.ms/bg8Px
You can pull the code from repo and put it into the custom functions plugin if you want, but as it’s currently set up as a plugin you may as well use it directly.
Make sure you have FTP access to the site before installing plugins in-case you need to disable the plugin from a whitescreen.

Hi Tony
This plugin will only allow for those tickets to be shown in the backend
This may cause us confusion if for example we show 10 tickets available in the particular time slot, eight are sold and it doesnt show sold out
I have just tried using the WP Users plugin from yourselves
This would show the front end how we would want except for the wording
Is it at all possible to change the wording that is shown on this line please
For example where it says is available to members only I would like to change it to “Unlocked by admin on event day” and remove the leading “The ” at the front
I cant see where to do this, but if you can advise that would be great
Thanks

Ah my apologies, I though you wanted tickets that only loaded within the admin.
You can change the above text with a translation function, or you can also hide the ticket completely if they don’t have access to it (are not an admin), would that work better?

Hi Tony
The latter may work well. The only issue being on the total tickets available
For example – If I have half hour slots throughout the day, 8 tickets per slot, so I make up 88 available tickets
Within each half hour slot we would then have 2 available that are only bookable by admin – front end
Do I add these to the total tickets or make another date / time for admin?
Hope that makes sense
Thanks

I have set an example here https://bosworthsgc.co.uk/events/santas-grotto
What I am trying to do is hide the admin tickets altogether unless a staff member is logged in
Is this possible?

I have tried the WP users and the Admin only plugin
Admin only plugin is good and does what I would need to hide the tickets front end but would be a more complicated process for a till operator on the day
Ideally I would like to use WP Users but not have the ticket show to non logged in user on the front end – I am not sure if this is possible?
Thanks

This snippet should do what you’re looking for:
https://gist.github.com/Pebblo/106393acd850cb83c3798c66a9c5a19a
If the user doesn’t have access to a ticket then the ticket will not show on the ticket selector at all, the above can go in your custom functions plugin.
