Looks like we've an all rounder, nice! I am sure they have a strong sales team.

Hi Macrura, I will briefly try to explain how the system is working currently. Lets consider an example of Shakespeare's Macbeth playing in Broadway Theatre, NY. So, the admin side has 2 main pages, a dramas page & a theatres page. Dramas page will have Macbeth as child page & same for Broadway theatre which will be child of theatres page. Now when I've to add a show of Macbeth playing on 1st July, I will have to create a child page of Macbeth with template show. Show will ask for date & time of drama and the theatre it's playing in. Once published, the upcoming show will be displayed on Macbeth's page for users to see the available shows. I've already added theatre's seat chart (in the form of series of clickable spans working as individual seats) in Broadway's theatre page. When user clicks on book ticket, he/she's directly presented seat chart of the theatre, there user can choose as many seats they want and also can see in real time the seats that are booked(booked seats are greyed out/ disabled.). If two users are selecting same seats, the one whose payment process finishes earlier gets the seat, other will have to try again. Now that I understand this can be very frustrating for users who don't get seats, the client wants it this way so I can't help it but keep it the way it is. The reason I'm telling you the whole process is cause I'd like some expert opinion on the flow and may be you can see the problems I'm unable to see. I suppose the whole process will have impact on payment process as well. Your solution for ticket booking, OvationTrix looks very good. I wonderif it works with ProcessWire, I will check it. Thanks again. Sorry for the long post.

Hi Macrura, About maintaining the inventory, I'm still not sure that will be managed. Since I'm not a developer, my knowledge about all this is limited So right now I'm just focusing on getting tickets sold, then I'll be focusing on managing the inventory. But your reply has made me think about it and I must confess it's one of very important part of the system that I've totally neglected so far. So I will now also include it in all the thought process. About foxycart, I'm just starting to explore it's awesomeness. I've read that it's free for development but I'm not understanding how do I test it? Don't I need to activate it before I test it? And activation needs payment. So right now I'm just trying to figure this out. Also, I was thinking if I could just some even simpler solution like jCart? what would you suggest? I can't tell you how much I appreciate your help, I'm very grateful.

Hello Macrura, Thank you very much, it's very helpful. I was confused weather FoxyCart is the solution I need. Your explaination has made confident that only FoxyCart can do that. Thanks again.

Yes, you are correct, right now, I'm totally confused. I should first try to get clear picture myself of what I really want & how will it work. Thanks again

Hello apeisa, Thanks for your reply. It's going to be in form mail & SMS. But for printing it can also be pdf. I'm not sure how exactly foxycart integrates with PW as there's nothing to download, just configuration, I'll need to learn foxycart first I suppose. Thanks again.

Hello All, as you all know by now, I'm working on a drama ticket booking site. By now, user registration, show management, theatres management & booking seat charts are ready. Now I want to add way for users to pay & get the ticket. But I'm not sure how I can do that. I've seen a few old posts about ecommerce with PW like using Foxycart etc. But I'm not clear how exactly will it work with a product like drama ticket which will just be in form of a seat number. Can someone help me with finding the right solution? I suppose probably digital content selling shop would be a possible solution for me. What you guys think? Thank you all in advance. EDIT: I will be confirming ticket inform an Email & SMS and might also provide a way to print ticket by providing it in a pdf form.

Alright guys, Here's the updated pdf which is now just ~699kb. Download Seems I shouldn't have used fancy font in the document.

Hello kongondo, I did exactly the same, that's what puzzling me why the pdf's becoming so heavy. Btw, I'm using Microsoft Office ProPlus 2013 trial version, if that matters.

Sure, check the following link. cheatsheet.docx

Hello Soma, Thanks for your reply. I was wondering the same about the file size. Anyways, I guess it's better to wait for the latest cheatsheets to be released so that I can update the one I've. I'll be sharing doc file this time.

@Ryan That's really odd, I wonder if it's happening with all other Mac users or if some certain version of Mac. Anyways, I think it's better to attach the doc file.

Such kind & sweet words! I can't thank enough to you guys, not only do you help people like me to do something that we can only dream but also support & understand us. This very thing, the flexibility that PW provides is what allows me to make websites which I could never even think of before. It's easy to learn & work with PW provided you know what to look for & where. I've just basic knowledge of php which also I learnt just to work with ProcessWire, cause I had understood the potential of PW a while ago but I really started using just a few months back. So the topic is solved, I'll continue with FrontendUserProfiles module & add pages for users to store additional information. Thank you all once again. PW & this forum rocks!!!

@Soma, thanks for your reply. (Please bear with me) So what I should do is add a pagefield to user template which lets say refers to member page which we create after a successful sign up, right?

Oh wow, that's nice. I didn't know we could edit system templates this way, lovely! So I guess no need to add page for every user. But still I'd like to ask both of you if you think using the FrontendUserProfiles module is a good idea to manage users and use this module for production level? Since I'm no expert, I'd like to know your view on this. Again, very grateful to both of you.

Short answer: No, I didn't. Long answer: I checked that post numerous times but I'm lazy, I always look for simple solutions just because I'm a front-end designer guy, not a hardcore programmer so I just used FrontUserProfiles module by Khan and it seemed to work good. But now, I've a problem that I need to store users' purchase history and few other user specific details. So Yes, I already have the registration & log in system working. I don't know if I can add additional fields to user template, if I can, then that'd be great. I think the better thing to do now would be finding a way add additional fields to user template. I'd love to share the code with you but I've no idea exactly which part of code I need to share. And thank you, I really appreciate your time & help.

No, actually what I'm trying to do is, register user and create a page with same username. Then I'd store some additional data to ever user on his/her page.

@slkwrm & @adrian, thank you, yes I'll make sure sanitize the input. @adrian, about the duplicate names, actually, I wish to store username as the name of the page created. Username should be unique. Also there should be a way to check if the username is taken. Can we do this in anyway?

Thanks adrian for your reply. I checked the link but since I'm not a great programmer, I find it bit hard to use. So, I went on checking the FormTemplateProcessor module and changed the line 192. I replaced datetime stamp with the field title. So it works for me I don't know how proper is this but it kinda gets my work done. I'd like to hear from experts if this is the right way. Thank you all.

Hi slkwrm, Thanks for your reply. That solves my first problem

Hello, I'm using FormTemplateProcessor module to dynamically create pages and save data. But for some reason, it's not showing title field in the form that's being rendered on the front-end. Also when the page is being created, right now, it's auto-generating some name, I'd like it to have title. I want to know how to Get title in the front-end form & save it along with the rest of the data. Save page with its name rather than auto-generated name. Thanks in advance.

Hey, I was studying your code, but I'm not understanding how the page is going to be linked to the user? I mean to know if there's a way I can connect a special page to a user if the user signup is being managed by FrontUserProfile module?

Hello Ryan, Will check and fix it ASAP. Sorry I couldn't test on Mac. Have updated the file, please check and tell me if it's working on your machine.

@darrenc Does this help?
