Reserved Tickets – View? Change time they stay reserved?

I’m using this snippet I found in another forum post to change the reserved time for tickets to be 15 minutes before they become available again. Is this the correct snippet to use?

function tw_ee_change_session_lifespan() {
return 30 * 900;
}
add_filter( 'FHEE__EE_Session__construct___lifespan', 'tw_ee_change_session_lifespan');

Is there a way to view and manage reserved tickets for an event?

One of our events shows 2 tickets in the “Rsrvd” column, but we can’t figure out why they’re reserved.

Hi,

The value you return on that filter is what EE will use and its expecting a value in seconds.

So 30 * 900 = 27,000 seconds.

27,000 = 7.5 Hours.

So the correct snippet to use for 15 minutes would be this one:

No, we don’t have any UI for managing ticket reservations.

One of our events shows 2 tickets in the “Rsrvd” column, but we can’t figure out why they’re reserved.

Tickets are reserved as soon as the ticket selector is submitted with a selection of those tickets so if there has been any ticket selection submission (even if they stopped at the attendee_information step) the tickets will have been reserved. There’s a WP_Cron event scheduled to clean them up after their session expires (default 1 hour) so if they aren’t ‘clearing’ again you may have an issue with WP_Cron.

Oh, so the correct value is just 900 seconds which is 15 minutes. I didn’t realize that MINUTE_IN_SECONDS is a constant. I thought it meant set the number of minutes in seconds here you want.

Ahh yeah, I see.

That’s a WP constant used to make it easier to see at a glance, see:
