Web Page Documentation

A release of Theatre Manager may require that some of the web pages be changed in the htdocs folder. Theatre Manager is designed so that the web pages are fully functional 'out of the box' (with a couple exceptions noted below). In many cases, changing only the style sheets creates a custom look and feel for your venue.

The Web pages are Bootstrap 3. The general principles are:

  • A venue can customize the pages as they wish. Generally, this turns out to only be a few.
  • Pages that are not modified are automatically 'the most recent' for each new release of Theatre Manager Server
  • Customized web pages may need periodic comparisons if features are added within the page. Refer to update Web Pages

 

Web Page Infrastructure Schematic

The image below is a brief introduction to how the TMServers merge web pages with data from the database and present it to the patron. To change a web page, a web developer needs to:

  • Download a complete set of web pages from the AMS Web page Git repository (and keep this current)
  • Identify which web page needs changing by inspecting the completed pages, find the appropriate breadcrumb, looking for the:
    • Include to change -or-
    • Main page to change -or-
    • Identifying if the text change was merge from data in Theatre Manager, in which case the user only need change the text.
  • If a page change is required, copying the identified include or main page to your venue's Git Repository
  • Making changes as appropriate to the page
  • Pushing it into the git repo, which causes theatre Manager to start using the over-ridden page. NOTE: we suggest that any page changes to main pages be added as includes, if possible. It helping if future editing is required

 

Main Marketing site

You can integrate the main marketing site or social media sites in a few ways:

  • You can use links on the main marketing site to redirect the user into almost any area of the web sales, including adding tracking tags that can be seen in Theatre Manager's shopping cart list
  • You can use the REST API to pull data and images from theatre manager into word press calendars to create single source of data and more dynamic content on your main marketing site. Note: always cache data from TM's REST API

Sample Web Sites

The following are examples of what a few of our many venues using Theatre Manager web sales have done to the sample web pages. It gives you an idea that the sky can be the limit and a fair degree of personal branding is very possible very easily.

When visiting these sites, make sure and click on the 'tickets' or 'Buy' or 'Buy Now' buttons on these sites. You can also look at the our responsive web page demo web site if you prefer (the page shows a sample image and lets you play).

Responsive Web Pages using Bootstrap

Twitter Bootstrap is the industry leading go-to technology used for web sites that respond automatically to the type of device that the web page is displayed on. Web Pages using Bootstrap look great on mobile devices, tablets, computers and Smart TVs.

Page Naming Conventions

The Web Pages used by the Web Sales Module are of two types - those that Theatre Manager requires to have a specific name, and the ones that you are able to rename yourself to suit your needs.

All Web Pages are stored within the WebPages directory found in the folder number equal to that of your Theatre Manager database. There can be several versions of the WebPages folders each customized based on language.

The naming convention for the default web pages is:

  • If the page name includes an upper case TM, you cannot rename the page.

    Theatre Manager requires it to have that name. An example would be 'TMhome.html'.

  • If the page name includes a lower case tm, you can rename the file to suit your needs.

    When you are altering page names, ensure that the page name fits the content of the page, and does not too closely resemble another page name. This will prevent future confusion.

  • If you are using a Linux Apache Server please note the Operating System is case sensitive. You MUST take this into consideration when modifying page names.

    Programmer's Note: Changing page names will mean that you will have to check and make sure that other pages are linked to the new name.

Useful HTML editing tools

You can change any of the web pages.

While you are testing your web site, or your customers are using web sales, you may see text you think could be worded more suitably for your venue. The best way to find the page to change is doing a multi-file text search to find the text.

You can search within all the files in the HTDOCS folder on the NGINX server. Good options for multi-file text searching are:

We recommend:

  • BBedit has a free edition. The full version costs about $40 and is a programmer type tool - but we really like it.
  • Notepad++ is free.
  • Dreamweaver as it is WYSIWYG HTML editing tool. It can be purchased for about $25.00 for non-profits through http://www.techsoup.org

Comparing HTML Pages with BBedit (Free Edition)

On a Macintosh, you can use a tool like BBedit - Free Edition to compare two sets of web pages and move changes from one page to another. (Text Wrangler can do this comparison and its free, BBedit is a paid product from the same company).

If you don't know which file to edit or compare, you can use various methods to find the file

You can do a comparison on either:

  • A subset of pages provided with each upgrade to identify the key differences, or
  • you can compare your entire WebPages folder on the WebPages folder with the most recent folder supplied by Arts Management.

In either case, the approach is:

  1. Make a copy of your current WebPages folder on your TM web server and copy it to your computer.

    By copying the pages, you can make changes to the web pages and test them in a test environment.

  2. Obtain the full set of web pages, or the subset that is part of the current release.

    If you are jumping a few versions, you will need the web pages changes between the current version you are running and the latest release, or you can simply download a full copy of the latest web pages.

    Use BBedit - free edition (or similar file comparison tool) to compare all files in a folder.

  3. Start BBedit and then go to Search->Find Differences.

    In the find differences window that opens, put the names of the old and new WebPages folders as per the picture below and click Compare.

  4. Choose which changes should be merged into your web pages.

    This shows you the list of files that are different (bottom left) and under that, the actual differences in the files. Clicking on any one difference will show you where in the file the differences are and you can apply them (or not) in either direction. Repeat this decision making for all files that are different.

  5. If there are new files, copy them into the corresponding folders.
  6. Finally test the changes by purchase online using the live web pages.

Comparing HTML Pages with WinMerge

On a Windows PC, you can use a tool like WinMerge to compare two sets of web pages and move changes from one page to another.

You can do a comparison on either:

  • A subset of pages provided with each upgrade to identify the key differences, or
  • you can compare your entire WebPages folder on the TM web server with the most recent WebPages folder supplied by Arts Management.

In either case, the approach is:

  1. Make a copy of your current WebPages folder on your TM web server and copy it to your computer.

    This is so you edit the web pages and test them in a test environment.

  2. Make a copy of your current WebPages folder on your TM web server and copy it to your computer.

    By copying the pages, you can make changes to the web pages and test them in a test environment.

    Use WinMerge (or similar file comparison tool) to compare all files in a folder.

  3. Start WinMerge and pick the File->Open menu. You will be asked to pick the folder for the left side (pick the old WebPages directory) and the folder for the right side (pick the new WebPages directory).

    The list window opens. It tells you which files are in only one folder and which files have a difference.

  4. Double click on a file with a difference and a second window opens with a visual indicator of where the difference is. Click on the difference to see it (see top window in the picture below).
  5. Choose which changes to merge into your web pages.

    Winmerge shows you the actual differences in the files highlighted in orange. Repeat this decision making for all files that are different.

  6. If there are new files, copy them into the right place.
  7. Test the web pages before moving them into the live web site.
  8. Upgrade Theatre Manager to match the version of the web pages.
  9. Start the web listeners.
  10. Do a final test purchase using the live web pages.

Which Web Page to edit and WebPages folder

The following sections provide information on:
  • how to find the web page that you want to edit
  • the structure of the WebPages directory
  • the general outline of the content of a web page
  • and the meaning of some internal variables found on most web pages

Finding the web page to Edit

There are a number of web pages so the trick can be how to find the one to edit if you want to customize one.

There are a few techniques to use such as:

  • To identify the Web Page that needs changed
    • Inspecting the actual page source
    • Using a tool like BBedit or Notepad++ to search for text within an entire folder of files
    • or taking a guess based on file names - they are somewhat 'english'.
  • Searching the source files for the web pages

    Web pages exist in two states: Those that have been overridden and those that have never been changed. This means you need to search in two locations

    • For overridden web pages: look in the web page folder on the main TM Listener. This is usually /Boxoffice/WebPages on a Mac, or C:\BoxOffice\WebPages\ on windows.
    • If a page has never been changed, you can find the most recent template in one of two places:
      1. it will be found in the 'hidden' template folder downloaded with each new TM Server release - which is how we keep the templates updated.

        when the main template server is a Mac, you'll typically find them in /tmp/TMWebPages/0.100.94. On windows, the files are typically in c:\windows\temp\TMWebPages\0.100.94

        NOTE: the 0.100.94 folder name changed to reflect the version of the TM server you are running, since each new TM server creates a new template folder and deletes the old one.

      2. You can also download the most recent web pages in entirety.
  • Overriding a web page is done by copying the page you want to change from the template folder into the same 'place' inside the overridden web pages. I.e. if its in a folder like 'tmTemplates', make sure the folder structure is maintained and the file names and folder names are the same.
Note, once you find the file to edit, you might want to compare old and new versions.

 

Inspect the Page Source

If you use the web site and test it out, you may run across a page that you want to change. If you right click and 'view the source' for the page, you should see some words near the top of the HTML that indicate which page you are viewing. Refer to the image below for a sample:

 

Some web pages include other web pages, so you can scroll down through the page looking for the text or object you want to change and you might see a comment with a Start and End that has a file name in front of it. It means that you only need to change the template to change that small bit of information.

 

Multi File Search

When you are looking at a web page, there is often distinguishing text on the web page that might give a hint. For example, the checkout page typically has words like 'Credit Card' on it. To find out which file that could be, use one of the useful text editing tools and search for that text within the WebPagesEN folder. That will often indicate which page has what you desire to change. Then just edit it.

Searching the source files for the web pages

Web pages exist in two states: Those that have been overridden and those that have never been changed. This means you need to search in two locations

  • For overridden web pages: look in the web page folder on the main TM Listener. This is usually /Boxoffice/WebPages on a Mac, or C:\BoxOffice\WebPages\ on windows.
  • If a page has never been changed, it will be found in the 'hidden' template folder downloaded with each new TM Server release - which is how we keep the templates updated.

    when the man template server is a Mac, you'll typically find them in /tmp/TMWebPages/0.100.25. On windows, the files are typically in c:\windows\temp\TMWebPages\0.100.25

    NOTE: the 0.100.25 folder will need to be replaced with the version of the TM server you are running, since each new TM server creates a new template folder and deletes the old one.

 

File Names

In the main directory, the file names often refer to the usage of the file. If you cannot find a file based on searching for its contents, then the names often give a clue. 'TMCart', for example is the shopping cart page. TMTickets is the list of ticketed events. TMHome is the 'home' page. Most of these can be found by searching based on content (the first strategy).

However there are a number of helper folders as follows:

  • TMTemplates - contains all the row definitions for any html file that includes a table. We've tried to name them according to what they do. For example: rowticketevent is for rows in the TMticket web page.
  • TMGifs - contains all images and style sheets
  • TMMaps - contains all files that show the maps during the sales processes
  • TMVenues -contain all files that describe what a venue is
  • TMEvent - contains all files that describe what the event is about
  • TMPass - contains all files that describe the purpose of a pass/gift certificate/membership
  • TMSubscripition - contains descriptions about season packages
  • TMCampaign - contain descriptions about donation campaigns
  • TMFee - contain descriptions about ticket fees

General Web Page Content

The Web Pages used by the Web Sales Module contain tags and strings required by Theatre Manager to send and receive the correct data to and from the database. The Pages themselves are provided by Arts Management Systems upon purchase of the Web Sales Module, and the source code remains the property of Arts Management Systems.

All pages can be edited to fit within the overall scheme of the pre-existing website and the web sales component will fit seamlessly.

However, there are many different strings and types of tags required to be kept as they are provided, so that the site will operate as it was designed.

You can edit the Web Pages provided, but Arts Management Systems is not responsible for supporting or debugging errors that may occur.

Hidden Text/Comments

There are several types of texts within the code of each page that use the comment tags (i.e. <!-- BLANK -->).

The Disclaimer
<!-- comment: Created by: Arts Management Systems Limited - Calgary Alberta Canada (888) 536-5244 http://www.artsman.com This web page integrates with Theatre Manager to support online ticket sales and donations and provide a single intregrated database for online and inhouse sales for arts and entertainment venues. If you see this and want to use for your own venue, please check us out at http://www.artsman.com Alter this source code as you see fit to suit your needs, but if you do, Arts Management Systems is not responsible for supporting or debugging errors that may occur -->
This string must be kept in each page. Removing this string will remove responsibility for supporting or debugging errors.
Sets of <include> tags throughout the pages. For example:

<!--#include virtual="TMtemplates/tmnavButtons.html" -->

These tags allow you to include the code from an outside file into any given page. In this case, the <include> tag is set in each page to insert the navigation buttons contained within the tmnavButtons.html file.

Although the <include> tag looks like a comment tag, it is read in by the page.

Each page will include the TMtemplates/tmnavButtons.html page listed above as well as the TMtemplates/pleaseWaitMessage.html and the TMtemplates/tmFooter.html.
The TMtemplates/pleaseWaitMessage.html displays warning messages regarding actions taken on the pages. The TMtemplates/tmFooter.html will pull the footer information directly from Theatre Manager.
There are also two other pages in the TMtemplates folders that are called using the <include> tag: tmContact.html and tmContactHours.html.
these pages contain the venue's contact information with the latter also containing the hours of operation. These pages are included on any webpage that would display the venue's contact information, such as on the TMsys404 page.

Messages

If a mistake is made, or a user needs to be prompted to do something, a message appears at the top of the pages. By default this message appears in red. Within the code of the pages you these messages are pulled in by the <field>F_HTML_PAGE_MESSAGE</field>.

If you want to change the wording of these messages, you can edit the TMError.txt page in the WebPages directory. We recommend using Microsoft Excel to open the document. You may then edit the Error Text column. Change the wording of the messages to whatever you like.

Any message that has the double dollar signs ($$) in it indicates that a database field inside Theatre Manager is being pulled into the message. For example, if you look at error number 10021, the message is "Welcome $$". The dollar signs in this case represents the first name of the patron that will be pulled into the message.

Javascript

Almost every page uses Javascript. The Javascripts are called in at the beginning of each page using <include> tags. these should remain in the page through any changes, unless the developer is sure that the function of the javascript is not needed. If the javascript is removed, and the site is no longer able to function as it was intended, Arts Management Systems will not be responsible for recovering the code.

Click here for more detailed information about the different functions javascript plays in the web pages.

Variable Theatre Manager Fields

When viewing the web page code, there are strings that appear as <field>XXXXXXXXX</field>.

These fields are internal Theatre Manager fields, and should never be altered. In most cases, they reference information entered within Theatre Manager. If these values need to be changed, you should change them in Theatre Manager, not in the web page code. Any text within the X when viewed as source code, will identify what the string is linked to.

<FORM ACTION="<field>F_HTML_FIREWALL</field>online" METHOD=POST>
This string is linked to the F_HTML_FIREWALL, which is the URL found in Web Server URL field of Setup >> Company Preferences under the Apache tab.

The Web Server URL field will contain the sub-domain or A record for the online ticketing site and will looks something like https://tickets.myvenue.org. The setup of the A record should point to the external IP address of the organization for routing purposes. The external IP can be determined by going to http://www.whatismyip.com. The internal network will then redirect the communication to the Apache machine.

<base href="<field>F_HTML_IMAGE_SERVER</field>">
This string is linked to the F_HTML_IMAGE_SERVER, which indicates the location of the images to be referenced within the pages. The string adds to the F_HTML_FIREWALL listed above. When the source code for the pages is viewed it appears as:

<base href="https://tickets.yourvenue.org/1/WebPagesEN">

Where tickets.yourvenue.org is pulled from the F_HTML_FIREWALL reference and the F_HTML_IMAGE_SERVER adds the /1/WebPagesEN indicating the path of where the images will be referenced.

<field>F_HTML_PAGE_MESSAGE</field>
This string is the page message sent by Theatre Manager to update any information relative to the current web page.
<field>F_HTML_MONTH_LIST</field>
<field>F_HTML_YEAR_LIST</field>
<field>F_HTML_EVENT_LIST</field>
<field>F_HTML_PERFORMANCE_LIST</field>
These strings extract information relative to the month, year, event, etc. of the current information for the web page.

Button Names

The buttons used by Theatre Manager for navigation within each Web Page (not tmnavSide.html) are regular form input buttons. They have been altered using Cascading Style Sheets and javascript so that they are customizable in colour and style.

<input name="btnGetEventRange" type=submit value="Update Performance List">
The names of each button name="btnGetEventRange" must be kept as they were when the pages were provided. The values of the buttons value="Update Performance List" may be changed as needed.

Click here for information about Navigation Buttons.

Cascading Style Sheets

The style sheets are used with the Web Pages are: stylePages.css and styleButtons.css. They are linked to each page with strings.

rel="stylesheet" href="TMgifs/styleButtons.css" type="text/css">
k rel="stylesheet" href="TMgifs/stylePages.css" type="text/css">
ePages.css contains the font and background styles for the text of the site.
eButtons.css contains the font, background and border styles for the form buttons in the site. This style sheet works in conjunction with a javascript function to create the customizable rollover effects.

Key Internal Variable Fields

Each page may have key merge fields that appear within <field> and </field> tags when the source code is viewed in a text editor. Most of these merge fields are internal , and should not be altered.

These are the different types of internal Variable Theatre Manager Fields that can be used in almost all pages. There are some fields:

F_HTML_FIREWALL The A record of the Web Server URL as set in the Apache tab of Company Preferences
F_HTML_IMAGE_SERVER Web Pages path of the Image/Gif server as set in Web Listener tab of Company Preferences in conjunction with the Outlet Number of the database.
F_HTML_IMAGE_EBLAST_SERVER path for images that are part of an e-blast to pull them from the second generation listener
F_HTML_PAGE_IDENTIFIER the Page Identifier which maintains the patron's connectivity during a session
F_HTML_PAGE_MESSAGE The Theatre Manager message relative to each page
F_HTML_PARAMETER an internal connectivity number that follows pages (should not be removed from the page)
F_HTML_SELECTED the selected line in the shown list

F_HTML_REMOVE_CART_ITEM_YN Removing cart items (Yes or No)
F_HTML_NEXT_BEST_SEAT A field put in the confirm reserved seat page used for the 'find next best seat' function. This works in conjunction with 'btnBestAvail' and the value is filled in by Theatre Manager
F_HTML_NEXT_BEST_AREA Also put in the reserved seating confirmation page. This field pulls from the Best Seat Setting tab of the Map in Theatre Manager. It carries forward the section that the user was searching.
F_HTML_EMAIL_ADDRESS The current logged in user's Email Address
F_HTML_LOGGED_IN This is a boolean flag indicating if the user is logged in (0=not logged in, 1=logged in). It can be used to display state on the left navigation bar
F_HTML_SOLD_PERCENT This is a number (0-100) that indicates the percentage that a performance is sold. Can be used in rowTicketEvent.html to create a visual indicator of seat availability.
F_HTML_MAIN_TEMPLATE Indicates the name of the main page that is being loaded. Very useful for identifying the page in the googleheader.html file for google analytics or for debugging if you simply put that in the header file.
F_HTML_CURRENT_TEMPLATE indicates the name of the row template page being loaded - can be used for debugging
F_HTML_CURRENT_OUTLET shows the outlet that the page is for
F_HTML_CURRENT_LANGUAGE shows the language that the page was loaded for
F_HTML_CURRENT_DATETIME the current date and time which can be used in dat functions for comparison to now

Standard 'WebPages' Structure

The following pages, when customized, are contained directly within the htdocs folder most commonly located on the TM Web server on a PC at:

C:\BoxOffice\WebPages

and on a Mac at:

/BoxOffice/WebPages

It is worth noting that at minimum, the pages linked here will need edits in order to customize the site for an organization.

A full set of the default pages can be downloaded from the Artsman Git Repository.

The "1" Folder

Clients using the Enterprise Edition of Theatre Manager generally only have a "1" folder. The "1" is the Outlet Number as defined in Company Preferences.

Those clients who have Outlet Edition will have a "1", "2", "3" (and so on) folder assigned to each outlet based on the number assigned to each in Company Preferences. This way, each company can have its own set of web pages customized however they'd like and selling their own merchandise.

The second generation listener is designed handle traffic for multiple outlets.

At this time, however, each outlet still needs its own "classic" web listener (until they are retired).

The pages beyond this folder mark the true beginning of the custom look of a client's online store.

WebPagesEN Folder

The parent folder containing the bulk of the html pages that make up the online store. The "EN" used in the example assumes English language pages.

MultiLanguage Considerations

Clients who wish to have multilingual pages will need to do four things:

  • You will need to duplicate the WebPagesEN folder for each language you want to support and change the ending to be a two character language code. For example, WebPagesFR for French or WebPagesES for Spanish, WebPagesDE for German (we suggest using the ISO two character language code).
  • Translate all the web pages within the new WebPagesXX folder as required
  • edit the TMTemplates/tmnavLanguages.html to add a language and a flag to the navigation for each language you with to support.
  • In Company Preferences on the WebListener tab, add in the language codes that you want TheatreManager to look for in the htdocs folder. That means you can put the languages in place using the WebPagesXX folder, but TM will not recognize them until you edit the company preferences.
  • Where appropriate, on the main corporate web site, you might wish to edit the links to direct to a specific page by adding the &lang=XX to the direct links.

After a patron picks their language, the next time they log in, Theatre Manager will recall and use their personal language preference.

Caveat changing some error messages

You may change any error message that you wish to suit the needs of your venue. However, a few pertain to the sign-in process and may indicate that an email address cannot be used which you may not want to change.

During our Oct 2016 PCI audit, we were required to them generic because it is against PCI rules to divulge information or conditions that could make it easier for a hacker to gain access to a patrons account. Visa/Master Card's reasoning is simple: If you say the email exists, then a hacker would likely cross reference that with other information stolen or bought on the internet. Since people tend to use the same passwords across web sites, they would cross reference and might gain access.

For your safety and the safety of your patrons, we ensure Theatre Manager passes the PCI Audit- to give you less to worry about. The PCI council places 100% web site security over empathy to make any commerce web site easier for patrons to use.

Message # Purpose of error message that could occur during login process Message before being genericized for PCI Audit
10012 error message if email address could not be found in the database during the login process. Error - Please enter a valid email address and password combination.
10013 error message if email does exist in the database, but password is incorrect during login. Should be same message as 10012 to limit ability to delineate this condition Error - invalid email address and password combination{br}(note: password is case sensitive).
10032 the response if email address found and message sent to patron. it is now generc to say that if the email address was found, then an email would be sent, which does not give away the fact that the email adddress does exist A password reset has been sent to your email address at {email}.{br}Please look for the email and follow the instructions on it.
10034 response for email address not in the database. The message is set to be same as 10032 for PCI/OWASP compliance so that no information is conveyed back to the user as to success or failure of the request - it helps prevent finding information in the system for brute force attacks. We're sorry, there are no accounts associated with the email address {email}. Please verify it.
10255 response indicating email address appears invalid because we are unable to lookup the mail exchange server for that email address. Again, according to PCI/OWASP, it is more secure to simply say the email address is invalid (and we suggest to contact the box office) {contents} appears invalid. Unable to lookup the mail exchange server for that email address.
10256 response indicating email address appears invalid because we are unable to lookup the DNS server for that email address. Again, according to PCI/OWASP, it is more secure to simply say the email address is invalid (and we suggest to contact the box office) so this message is set to the same as 10255. {contents} appears invalid. Unable to lookup the DNS server for that email address.
10257 response indicating email address is already on file and to use 'forgot password' instead. Again, according to PCI/OWASP, it is more secure to simply say the email address is invalid (and we suggest to contact the box office) so this message is set to the same as 10255. {contents} is currently in use and cannot be used for the creation of a new account.{br}If this is your email address, please request your password instead.

TMfutureTicketsPrint.html

 

Description:

  • Presents and prints a page listing tickets to future events.
  • This page is printer friendly in that it does not contain the default banner or buttons and is largely black and white.
  • When the "Print at home tickets" box is checked in Setup > Company Preferences > Web Options Tab, this page is the ticket that patrons can print with the bar code for admission to events. If the box is not checked, then the bar code will not present. For more information on the Web Options Tab, click here.
  • The buttons which call this page (when activated in Web Options) are located on TMfutureTickets.html and TMcheckoutConfirmation.html.

Questions and Answers:

Q: Can this page be updated such that the print at home tickets will contain organization-specific or other information?
A: Yes, it can. The page itself can be updated to contain whatever text a client wishes to include. Please note that this same page is used for all events, so event-specific information or similar will print on all tickets generated from this page.
____________________________________________________________

Q: Can I add a logo to the print at home tickets?
A: Yes, you can. Simplest way is to put the logo image file inside tmGifs and then include a link on this page. The link should contain the full path to the image as appose to just a "img src="httpstmGifs/sponsorLogo.jpg" reference.. Please note that any logo included here will print on every ticket, regardless of event. So a sponsor logo for one show only would print on every show's tickets.
____________________________________________________________

Q: Can I add colour or a background colour to the tickets?
A: Yes, you can. We originally chose to have the page print in black and white to make things easier on the end user (and their toner cartridge) but if you'd like the tickets to have colour, you can edit the stylePages.css file. The areas to edit are those that end in "print," ie, backgroundprint or tablerowdetailprint.
____________________________________________________________

Q: Can I print one ticket per page?
A: Yes, you can. This page pulls ticket details from the rowFutureTicketPrintCourse.html, rowFutureTicketPrintFestival.html, rowFutureTicketPrintHeader.html and rowFutureTicketPrintReserved.html pages. These pages can be altered to fill one full page. The following web page gives examples on how to create page breaks http://www.w3.org/TR/css-print/#s.8.2.
____________________________________________________________

Q: The number under the bar code contains leading zeros, how important are these extra zeros?
A: The leading zeros are added to standardize the length of the ticket number. They are largely for esthetics. When the bar code is scanned Theatre Manager removes the leading zeros.

Description:

  • This stylesheet contains the styles that are used for the buttons on the various web pages within the Web Sales Module that have buttons.
  • Stylesheets (also called Cascading Style Sheets hence "css") are used to change the look of web pages. By having them you can set text, buttons, hyperlinks and so forth to different colors, size, etc. They are called in with a <link rel="stylesheet" href="" type="text/css"> where within the double quotes would be the path of the stylesheet.
  • The different styles are called from source code an changes to the text, hyperlinks, etc of a web page can be made simply by editing the stylesheet instead of manually changing each page individually.
  • The look of the buttons can be changed by editing the fields within the style sheet. For example, if you don't like the light blue halo around the navigation buttons across the top of the page you can change the colour by editing the board color in the .button style.
  • # Item Description
    1 .button References the buttons across the top of the online sales window.
    2 .buttonover The result of a mouse hovers over the buttons across the top of the online sales window.
    3 .new The buttons within the tables in the online sales window.
    4 newover The change in a button within the the tables when an mouse if hovered over it.

    Questions and Answers:

    Q: Why are the navigation buttons appearing in deep red on Internet Explorer, but are normal on other browsers?

    A: When the line below is uncommented in the style sheets the buttons appear a graded red in an Internet Explorer browser.
    filter:progid:DXiMageTransform.microsoft.Gradient(GradientType=0,StartColorStr='#ff800000',EndColorStr='#ff800000');

    Q: I do most of my web development testing with Safari or Chrome as a web browser, and eventually I get around to checking things with Internet Explorer. What I am seeing with our ticketing site is two vastly different color schemes. Is there a separate set of .css files or something that pertains specifically to Internet Explorer, or are they just different from the Mac browsers?

    A: In part, this has to do with the color calibration of the monitor the patron is using to view your site. You can change the color calibration for your monitors - which is especially easy on a Mac. While Mac has color correction set up for your monitor, your browser may or may not use color correction for web content/images depending on its setup. Your color picker reports what your Operating System thinks it is rendering. Another browser may report something else.

    Most Mac browsers (Safari, Firefox) use color management to display what is theoretically True Color. This means that it will read the colors that are embedded in original web page or image, match them to the color calibration of your monitor and display them appropriately. Unmanaged browsers (such as Internet Explorer) do not read the embedded color coding and apply colors according to a default set in a color palette - which may or may not match what the original web page designer intended.

    So while this is not a solution, it is an explanation. The images and web page elements are being sent identically to all browsers. The various browsers, however, are interpreting the color palette differently. Safari and Firefox offer color calibration to your monitor. Other browsers may not.

    tmMaps Folder

    The tmMaps folder contains the pages accessed when purchasing tickets. The default pages are only when a custom page is not available.

    Custom pages can be created based on the venue by duplicating the existing default page. The word Default in the page name is then replaced with the map number. The map number is located in the Map # column under Setup >> Venue Maps in Theatre Manager.

    There are three TMticketSection_MapDefault pages that look very similar. The page ending in a C is for courses. The page ending in a F is for festival seating or general admission performances. The page without an additional letter is for reserved seating performances. A custom page can be created for these three types of ticket sale and made specific to the venue.

    TMsubscriptionMapDefault.html

     

    Description:

    • This page allows the patron to choose the subscription details they would prefer for Reserved seating events.
    • Step 1 is a drop down of seating sections pulled from the Best Seat Settings tab from within the Map in Theatre Manager. Depending on the seat configuration of your venue (in particular dinner theatre seating), your Seat Name file may have been setup for a two-pass approach to Best Available seating. For more information on the two-pass system click here.
    • Step 2 allows the patron to choose the number of subscriptions they wish to purchase. The quantity is limited to the number of tickets allowed to be sold per Order within Theatre Manager.
    • Step 3 indicates the day of the week the patron wishes to attend. This drop down is populated when there is more then one performance date within the season package.
    • Step 4 confirms the options as they are indicated about and takes the patron to the TMsubscriptionPriceMapDefault.html page.

    Q: Can I change the default value in the drop down for number of seats to purchase?
    A: Yes, you can. The default value is controlled in the Performance details. It can be altered by going to Setup >> Events and searching for the desired event. Double click on the event and select the Performance tab. Double click on the desired performance to open the Performance Detail window. Select the Web Settings tab. The Suggested Purchase Qty field determines the default value in the drop down within the online sales.
    ____________________________________________________________

    Q: Can I increase/decrease the value in the drop down for number of seats to purchase?
    A: Yes, you can. This value is controlled by the over all cart limit, event limit and performance limits.

    • The cart limit is located in Setup >> System Preferences under the Web tab. It's controlled by the Maximum Tickets field. This value determines the total number of tickets that are allowed per cart. If the patron has already added tickets to their cart the drop down will decrease by the number of tickets in the cart.

    • The Event limit is in the Eventtab of the Event Setup. The Web Purchase Limit defaults to the cart limit from above. However, a value can be entered into the field to alter the total number of tickets that can be purchased over all for the Event. This means if there are several performances this is the total tickets for all performances. If an event has a maximum of 8 tickets regardless of performances this is where the value would be set.

    • Finally, the Performance limit is controlled in the Web Settings tab. This is located by selecting the Performance tab in the Event and double clicking on the performance. The Web Purchase Limit field controls the maximum tickets per performance that can be purchased. If an event has a limit of four tickets per performance this is where the value would be set.

    tmPickYourSeatMapDisplay.html

    This web page contains the actual display of the map image and the icons to be used for the zooming/panning of the map. They are only enabled if pick your own in set for the performance.

    at the bottom of the page is an <img> tag that shows the actual map:

    <img src="<field>F_HTML_SEATMAP"</field>&reserved_colour=007700&reserved_boundary=true&reserved_seat_border=5&format=svg" width="80%"/>

    The parameters that can be added to the URL after <img src="<field>F_HTML_SEATMAP"</field> are in the table below:
      See also tmpickYourSeatScripts.html for some options that can be made regarding zoom controls on scripts that handle the maps.
      format=xxx specifies the graphic format in which to display your seat maps on a web page.
      • Pick your seat formats with interactivity
        • pick - Special Case. If you have pick your own seats turned on, this is the preferred format. It will give you an svg graphic that is interactive and the patron can use to pick their seats is on. It forces always show sold seats on the map, regardless if it is turned off in Theatre Manager.
        • svg - will also display in svg format. However, this format respects the show sold seats option for the performance. It may not be useful for pick your own as somebody wouldn't know which other seats are taken, but it could be useful to show people where their seats are.
      • Static Formats with no interactivity
        • png - you will only get a png image in a static map. You cannot pick your owns seat and the map has no interactivity
        • jpeg - similar to png, except the image is in jpeg format
        • pdf - similar to png, except it is a pdf
      A rule of thumb is if you are allowing the seats to be clicked by using an tag then you should use pick, otherwise it’s always svg. The default coding for this page is set up that way.
      reserved_only=false specifies that the map image to be drawn contains only a zoomed in sub-set of the entire map, centred around the seats that are offered to the patron. It the parameter is ignored if the map is in pick-your-own-seat mode. Values are:
      • use true, yes,y, or 1 for a zoomed in area around the reserved seats
      • false, no,n, or 0 for a full sized map (or do not specify the parameter)
      reserved_boundary=true Indicates that a boundary is to be drawn around the seats that are offered to the user (not avaliable when map is in pick-your-own mode)
      • If true, the map displayed to the user will contain a rectangle outlining the viewable area that would be shown if reserved_only was specified. This encircles the offered seats and clearly indicates where in the venue the user will sit.
      • If the reserved_only parameter is not specified at the same time as this parameters, then the map is shown at full size, with the rectangle around the seats.
      reserved_seat_border=## Specifies the distance (in seats) from the offered seats where the reserved_boundary will be placed. Reasonable values are 2 seats around the reserved seats or 4 seats around the reserved seats
      reserved_boundary_color=FF0000 Specifies the colour of the boundary drawn around the seats that are offered (if not using pick your own)
      reserved_boundary_width=xx Specifies the width of the boundary drawn around the offered seats (if not using pick your own). The default size is 3/4 of the average width of seats on the map. You can make it more or less.
      seat_color=FF0000 Specifies the colour of the unsold (available) seats on the map as a RGB hex string.

      i.e. FF0000 means bright red and 007700 is green

      selected_color=000000 Specifies the stroke (border) color of the selected seats as a RGB hex string. These seats that a patron is picking on the reserve your seat map.
      reserved_color=FF0000 Specifies the fill color of the temporarily held best seats as a RGB hex string
      unavailable_color=00FF00 Specifies the fill color of the unavailable seats as a RGB hex string. Seats are unavailable if they are already sold to another patron or held for any reason.
      unavailable_text=X Specifies the single character that will be used to put in seats that are not available. This over-rides the '*' that TM will put in unavailable seats. You can use any ascii character you want such as 'X'. You may even use %20 (space), which if used in conjunction with unavailable_color will provide a solid square for unavailable seats.
      seat_font=X The font to use for seat labels when using mouseover to show the door/section/row/seat and seat description (depends on what the description setup is in the SCG map on the pricing map setup)
      seat_size=X The size of the fonts on the seat labels
      seat_font_scale=X SVG scaling factor to apply to the font size (depends on the scale used when constructing the SVG map)
      seat_font_load=X "embed": base64 embedded font, "local": locally loaded font from tmVendor, "cdn": remotely loaded font from Content Delivery Network (CDN)

    tmPickYourSeatScripts.html

    This file contains the javascript that controls the zooming and panning on the pick your own seats. Normally the file is never changed.

    There is a comment in the file about halfway down (on/around line 41-42) that looks like:

    // Initialize the widget with new pan and zoom values
    widget.init();

    There are two parameters that you can replace in this function to affect the behaviour of panning and zooming. These are:
    • pan_step_distance: default is 800 pixels -- and that is the incremental step distance that the image goes left/right or up/down when the left/right up/down buttons are clicked. SVG maps can be very large (as far as pixels go, so 800 is not really much movement -- and it is dependant on the overall size of the map
    • zoom_multiple: default is 0.1 (10%) percent and that is the percentage of zoom in/out when using the zoom buttons on the map.

    To add the parameters to the web page code and create different settings, you would edit the two lines above so that they look like:

    // Initialize the widget with new pan and zoom values
    widget.init( {
    “pan_step_distance”: 800,
    “zoom_multiple”: 0.1
    } )

    These values do not apply when the patron is using a touch device because the hand gestures of pinch and swipe take over and the 'controls' are hidden from the user. They only work for the controls when they are visible on a computer web page.

    See also tmPickYourSeatMapDisplay.html for some options that can be made regarding colouring and fonts on the actual SVG map as the user interacts with the pick your seats process.

    TMpasswordForgot.html

     

    Description:

    • The patron enters their email address in this page and an email will be sent to the address entered. This email will ask them to reset their password within 48 hours. In the interim, their existing account will be rendered inaccessible until they do reset their password.
    • A message states that if the email address does not exist, the patron will receive nothing. This is intentional, is required by the PCI council, and is good internet safety so that attackers cannot determine if an email exists through credential stuffing (meaning they got an email password from another comproized server and are attempting to see if your database also has it).

      If the email address exists under two patrons, the same message/process occurs and the box office will need to de-duplicate the email address in Theatre Manager before they can get an email reset.

    If the patron is unable to do reset their password for any reason, the box office can initiate a password reset from the patron window. A box office reset should only be used if the patron has requested it explicitly - it sends the same email as above.

    tmScripts Folder

    Javascript

    The Web Pages that are used by the Web Sales Module contain javascript that performs different functions. There are 3 javascripts that are used and each one is called into the page by the tags. All 3 javascript functions reside in their own page within the tmScripts folder. Below is a description of all three javascripts.

    Location:

    /WebPagesEN/tmScripts

    buttonRollover.html

    Description:

    <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
    <!--
    function pviiClassNew(obj, new_style) {
    obj.className = new_style;
    }
    //-->
    </SCRIPT>

    Since the buttons that are contained within the tmnavButtons.html page are form inputs, they require Cascading Style Sheets in order to customize their colours and styles. This script allows the buttons to roll from one style to another.

    The variables onMouseOver="pviiClassNew(this,'buttonover')" onMouseOut="pviiClassNew(this,'button')" are included in each tag for each button.

    dropDownMenuFuctions.html

    Description:

    <script language="Javascript">
    <!--
    function submitForm(form, action){
    //Change the name of the hidden input, hiddenSubmit, to be the name of the action we need to perform
    document.getElementById(form).hiddenSubmit.name = action;
    document.getElementById(form).submit();
    }
    //-->
    </script>

    This function is used to submit a form when a <!select /> list is used. The page must include this function as well as a hidden parameter within the form, TMForm. <!input type=hidden name=hiddenSubmit value="">

    navSideRollover.html

    Description:

    <SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
    <!--
    function NavRollOver(oTd) {if (!oTd.contains(event.fromElement)) {oTd.bgColor="";}}
    function NavRollOut(oTd) {if (!oTd.contains(event.toElement)) {oTd.bgColor="";}}
    //-->
    </SCRIPT>

    This script allows the cells within the navSide table to roll from one colour to another, creating dynamic buttons out of table data. The variables onmouseover="NavRollOver(this)" onmouseout="NavRollOut(this)" are contained within the

    tag for each cell you wish to rollover.

    Description:

    Example

    An example of the file and how it affects the new patron window is shown below. In the default file, all items are commented out (with a '#' in the first column). In the sample, 5 entries were made:

    • 4 <tab> Work - means there will be an email address area at the top of the screen called Work
    • 1 <tab> Home - means there will be an address block called Home
    • 1 <tab> Work - means there will be a second address block called Work
    • 2 <tab> Home - means there will be an phone field called Home
    • 2 <tab> Work - means there will be an phone field called Work

    some notes:

    • Home or Work must be valid entries in the location code table. If you leave them blank, then TM will take the defaults for each block type.
    • You can have as many of each block type as you wish -- for example you could have 10 home phone number prompts just by having 10 entries in the file.
    • There must be a <tab> after the block type and the name of the block.
    • You must have a block specified that meets your minimum data requirements. For example: if you require any address entries, then you must have at least one address block. You must also have an email block, as that is the patron's identifier

    rowCartDonationRoundup.html

    Enable Round up to the Nearest $x.xx

    You can enable rounding up the cart to an even amount of your choice with a donation. The feature must first be enabled in Company Preferences -> Web Options. After that, the web page defaults to prompt the user to round up the purchase:

    • The nearest $10.00
    • The nearest $5.00
    • The nearest $1.00
    • BUT, only if the current cart total is not an even $1.00 amount.. The default round up amount can be changed in the web page.
    Note: There is a difference between:
    • Round up to nearest $x.xx. When rounding up the cart amount, the current value of the cart matters. This page will show up only if the cart total does not match the rounding amount. If all your prices are even dollars, then pick round to nearest $2.00 or something like that as described below -AND-
    • Donate a specific amount of $x.xx - which means alter the donation suggestion page so that it has specific suggested amounts to donate - and if that donation is made, the donation suggestion never shows up again.

     

    Changing the amount at which the cart asks

    In the web page text below, there is a 1 that points to an opening condition at the top of the page and the bottom of the page. That indicates to only include the round up code if the cart does not round to an even dollar. You can change that number to $5.00, $7.50, $9.33 - any number you want. If the cart balance is NOT an even multiple of that amount, then the round up option will show in the web page.

    The other Round-Up amounts can only be - EVEN MULTIPLES of the main amount

    The number you pick for this value be an even multiple of the round up suggestions. Examples: Make this number

    • $2.00 if your round up values are $2.00, $6.00 and $20 (all divisible by $2.00)
    • $2.50 if your round up values are $2.50, $5.00 and $25 (all divisible by $2.50)
    • $10.00 if your round up values are $10.00, $20.00 and $30 (all divisible by $10.00)

     

    Changing the amount to round up by

    The page suggests 3 values for rounding up (you can add more). However, if you want to change them, you can see the number 2 which points to a pair of dollar amounts. You must change both, since one is the input value and the other is the button description. Those 3 values are in smaller squares:

    • round up to 1.00 (the default)
    • round up to 5.00 the middle choice
    • round up to 10.00, the first button

      Calculation of F_SOLD_PERCENT

      The calculation of F_SOLD_PECENT is a little complicated. It is based on totals for each performance and is calculated as follows:

      Calculating the initial number available

      Avail = SeatsInHouse - Total Sold - Box Office Holds - Internet Holds

      Calculating the number 'sold'

      First, the total seats considered sold or taken includes all holds. So the base number sold is.

      Sold = number sold for event + tickets held at box office _ tickets held in shopping carts

      Calculating the percent available

      The percent of tickets available is dependant on the values of seats available and reporting quantities. The percentage is dewtermined as follows.

      • If Avail <= 0 then F_SOLD_PERCENT = 100
      • if SeatsReport < SeatsInHouse then
      • if SeatsReport = SeatsInHouse then
      def sold_percent(self): """ Calculate the percentage of the performance that is sold. :return: sold percentage for the given performance """ if self.pb_seats_avail = self.pb_seats_report: # In this case, the number sold is over the reporting limit. # We want to use that for royalties and such. if self.total_sold >= self.pb_seats_avail: return 100 else: # However, if we are somewhere between PB_SEATS_REPORT and PB_SEATS_AVAIL ... then we are 99% sold return 99 else: return min(int(self.total_sold * 100 / self.pb_seats_report), 100) else: # Seats sold and available are the same, so just report on actual attendance figures if self.total_sold >= self.pb_seats_avail: return 100 else: return min(int(self.total_sold * 100 / self.pb_seats_avail), 100)

      Questions and Answers:

      Q: How can the series list be customized to display something other then what is pulled from the Theatre Manager database?
      A: To make the events in the subscription display as "First Sun in Run @8:00pm" the following would be used:
      <field>pick(mid(PB_SERIES_CODE,1,1),'','First','Second','Third','Fourth','Fifth')</field>

      The following example displays the series code on the screen in the popup box:
      <field>mid(PB_SERIES_CODE,3,3)</field> in run @ <field>pick(pos(mid(PB_SERIES_CODE,7,1),'ME'),'8:00','2:00','8:00')</field>pm

      favicon.ico

      Description:

      A favicon (short for favorite icon) is an icon associated with a particular website or webpage. A web designer can create such an icon and install it into a website (or webpage) by several means, and most graphical web browsers will then make use of it.

      Browsers that provide favicon support typically display a page's favicon in the browser's address bar and next to the page's name in a list of bookmarks. Browsers that support a tabbed document interface typically show a page's favicon next to the page's title on the tab.

      There are a few ways to make the icon that we know of. Two of them are:

      • Using Preview (OSX)
        • Open any jpeg or png containing a logo
        • Change the pixel size of the logo to 48 by 48 pixels, 8 or 24 bit colour or B&W
        • Save the file
        • Rename it to favicon.ico
        • Place it in the WebPages and 1/WebPagesEN/tmGifs folders
        • Add to /tmScripts/styles.html link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="tmGifs/favicon.ico" - it tells the browser where to go to get the favorite icon. In this case, it says inside /tmGifs for the outlet
      • Using a web page tool like favicon.cc
      • Using any other tool you know of
      Make sure to verify the favicon.ico on al browsers (chrome, firefox, safari, edge, opera, and mobile safari)

      Google Chrome, for example, will not display the favicon unless it is minimum of 48x48 pixels.

      robots.txt

      Description:

      • Robots.txt is a text (not html) file you put on your site to tell search robots which pages you would like them not to visit. Robots.txt is by no means mandatory for search engines but generally search engines obey what they are asked not to do. It is important to clarify that robots.txt is not a way from preventing search engines from crawling your site (i.e. it is not a firewall, or a kind of password protection) and the fact that you put a robots.txt file is something like putting a note “Please, do not enter” on an unlocked door – e.g. you cannot prevent thieves from coming in but the good guys will not open to door and enter. That is why we say that if you have really sensitive data, it is too naive to rely on robots.txt to protect it from being indexed and displayed in search results.

      Redirecting a link to a specific sales page in the Web Services

      It is straightforward to redirect a link from your main web site to a specific web page on the Theatre Manager web listeners if you construct a link using the following syntax (generally with a target="_blank")

      https:// tickets. yourvenue. org [/TheatreManager/1/login[?action=0|number][&lang=XX][&tmsource=YYY]]

      The meaning of the parts of the above syntax is:

      • https:// tickets. yourserver. com is the direct link to the Theatre Manager web server. It is the only part that is mandatory.
      • /TheatreManager/1/login - if supplied, is used by the apache server to direct the user to the theatre manager web listeners and begin the sales process. The '1' is replaced by your outlet number in a multi-outlet site. In most cases, it is '1' corresponding to the '1' folder within the standard 'WebPages' web page structure.
      • ?action=0|number - 'action=' is replaced by one of the specific words as shown in the sections that follow (eg action might be 'event' or 'pass' or 'donation'). If you use 0 as the parameter, the user will be able to start at the selection process for 'action'. If you use a specific number as the parameter, then the user will be placed directly at the start of the sales process for the 'action'. For ticket sales web page access, there are some other options as described below.
      • &lang=XX - if you build a multi language web site, you can direct the user to begin using a language you specify. &lang=EN is the default. There must be a WebPagesXX folder for each language you want to support
      • &tmsource=yyy - which is an optional parameter that can be used to detect the web site referrer and attach it to a shopping cart. The idea with this is that you might tie the source to an eblast, another web site, your own site, some tourism source, etc. The value 'yyy' is attached to a shopping cart and once a value is in the cart, it cannot be changed. This means that the first source (or referrer) is used. Note: the source can also be set using a cookie if you want instead of a command line argument. For additional steps on setting up source references, click here.

      Note that parameters in a URL are case sensitive.

      Most keyword parameters are lower case unless they refer to an actual database variable. The documentation attempts to show examples in the appropriate case.

      It is possible to write an interface to extract the event information and upload it your main marketing web site. For example: you can use the extracted information to publish data from TM into a custom calendar object and create 'buy now' links using the patterns above.

      You can only use 'GET' style links on web pages in normal format or behind pictures of buttons.

      You cannot simulate these links with 'posts' due to PCI compliance requirements to use form-tokens in each post per OWASP requirements to prevent cross-site scripting

      We recommend always adding a [&tmsource=YYY] to external links to identify where the patron first entered the web sales process. Carts are tagged with the source code and it provides the most direct correlation between:
      • Where the patron started at this external web site, responded to a specific eblast, or clicked a button in facebook offer for a specific show etc -and-
      • if they actually created a cart, whether completed or not.

      Standard Access to Web Sales

      https://tickets.yourvenue.org/TheatreManager/1/login?event=0

       

      The general starting place for all sales is usally a link like the one above which is placed on the main web site. This link directs the patron to the Event List within the online sales. It allows them to start their online shopping experience by selecting the first performance they are interested in purchasing.

      Direct Link to Login

      https://tickets.yourvenue.org/TheatreManager/1/login[?tmsource=yyyyy]

       

      Each direct link contains a reference to login. This allows the link to bypass the login window and access the desired location. When a link to only the login window is desired, leave out any additional parameters on the URL.

      Parameters are:

      • tmsource=yyyyyy (optional) where yyyyyy is a tracking code that is placed on any cart for tracking the source of the referral.
      Refer to the tmLogin.html for more information.

      Direct Links - Ticket Related

      • and you can use a combination of the above to limit to a specific year and month if you want, or a specific year in a venue
      • tmsource=yyyyyy (optional) where yyyyyy is a tracking code that is placed on any cart for tracking the source of the referral.

      Note: years are in yyyy format, Months are 0 to 12, genre # is from code tables, venue # is from list of venues. eg:

      https://tickets.yourvenue.org/TheatreManager/1/login&event=51&year=2016&month&9&venue=5

      • Click Setup >> Events.
      • Click the button to populate the Event List.

      • performance=xx - The link above will go directly to selling a performance (bypassing the event selection - per the example below). The unique performance number will replace the "xx" in the link. To find the performance number:
        • Click Setup >> Events.
        • Click the button to populate the Event List.
        • Double-click an Event to open it.

      Example of page for Direct Link To Performance

       

      Direct Link to Genre

      https://tickets.yourvenue.org/TheatreManager/1/login?event=0&genre=xx&[tmsource=yyyyyy]

       

      Parameters:

      • &event=0 is required prior to the &genre=xx parameter to create a link for genre's of events

        • Click Setup >> System Tables >> Code Tables.
        • Select the Event Genre option in the left column.
        • Locate the Seq # column.

          This is the unique number representing the genera. It can be used to replace the "xx" in the link above.

      • tmsource=yyyyyy (optional) where yyyyyy is a tracking code that is placed on any cart for tracking the source of the referral.

      Direct Link to Pick-Your-Seat

      https://tickets.yourvenue.org/TheatreManager/1/login?bestavail=xx&section=yy&pricecode=Z&qty=qq&separate=1&seats=123,124,125[&tmsource=yyyyyy]

       

      The link above will go directly to the best available seats to the performance named by bestavail (by passing the event and performance selection).

      Each of the items in the link (except bestavail) are optional
      You can also use this to quickly select a number of general admission tickets for purchase
      They mean:
      • bestavail=xx xx=the unique performance number. This parameter is mandatory
      • section=yy causes seats to be suggested in the best available section which is set up for the pricing map used for that performance. Leave blank to search the entire venue.
      • pricecode=Z causes seats to be suggested that matches a price code enabled for the performance. If the price code is not valid or not enabled for the performance, nothing will be shown on the best seat map.
      • qty=qq causes the system to look for 'qq' seats.
        • If not specified, this will default to the suggested purchase quantity for a performance in the Web tab. This is usually it is 2 for tickets and 1 for courses.
        • If specified, it overrides the default in the suggested purchase quantity
        • Specifying qty=0 has a special meaning. It will take the patron from directly the select your seats without pre-selecting anything. This means the option is select your seat with no fallback choices for the patron
      • separate=1 allows the system to suggest seats that are separate from each other, which is useful as the performance sells out. separate=0 is the default, meaning that seats offered to the patron must be together
      • seats=123,124,125 allow you to specify which logical seats you want to select on the the 'choose your own seats' map. It is not guaranteed that the patron will get those seats, only that they will be highlighted on the map and then the patron will have to choose them and have Theatre Manager confirm that it is ok to choose them. The seat numbers are the left column in the pricing map
      • tmsource=yyyyyy (optional) where yyyyyy is a tracking code that is placed on any cart for tracking the source of the referral.

      You can put any combination of the parameters together that you wish. if the system cannot find seats based on your combination of selections, you'll be told.

      Example donation quicklink in form letters

      This example shows URL's added to a fundraising form letter, suitable for eblasting to patron to ask for a donation with two embedded donation quicklink's.

      In this example, there are 4 actual links:

       

      Making the sample form letter

      The links (above) are part of this sample fundraising form letter created in Theatre Manager with the purpose of emailing to ask people to donate. It is based on patrons so that I could use a mail list to determine the people to send to - meaning it could be volunteers plus donors in past year, plus ticket buyers with cancelled shows, etc.

      The general steps to create the letter were:

      • Type the content
      • Add merge field for the patron's name to make it feel personal
      • Add the images by:
        • Clicking the cursor where I wanted an image to be placed
        • Drag the images onto the document from the desktop (company logo, youtube logo, $50 one time, $10 a month)
        • If you get the image in thr wrong spot, you can cut/paste it, or drag it.
        • If the image is too big, DOUBLE CLICK on it, click the size tab and indicate how you want it scaled (refer to the image to the right)
      • once you have the document looking like you want it, you add a URL one of two ways:
        • for images (see sample instructions in the full document above)
          • double click on the image again
          • click on the link tab
          • Click on picture can be clicked - if you don't do this, then the image will not respond top clicks in the users mail client when sent as an email
          • Paste the URL into the area for the URL. NOTE: make sure you try the URL in a browser before pasting it here
        • for text links:
          • Highlight the text that you want the link to be behind
          • Right click to get the context menu
          • Select Insert Document Object
          • Select Hyperlink from the sub menu
          • The text hyperlink window opens

            NOTE: make sure to put the URL into the right field

       

      What does the eblast look like?

      It looks like a regular email sent to people. Theatre Manager tracks

      • who you sent the email to
      • and if they opened it or not

       

      What does clicking on the donation buttons do

      In the sample letter, I clicked on both buttons to show the effect and logged in. Because I clicked on them one at a time, both donations got added to a shopping cart as per the image below. The buttons below are included and active in case you want to try them.

      This illustrates an e-blast with a one button donation ask for specific amounts. All the user would need to do is log in (or create an anonymous profile that you can merge later) and pay. A donation can be done in 3 button clicks.

      Example donation quicklink within TM

      This example shows 3 donation buttons placed inside your web pages at the top of the event list. Using this concept, these could be placed anywhere and would be themed to look like your web pages.

      The example code is below the image

      Sample code placed in tmTicketCustomPatronInstructions.html

      While the code below could be placed anywhere in an appropriate web page file in Theatre Managers 'WePages' folder, the following was added to TMtemplates/tmTicketCustomPatronInstructions.html as an existing convenient way to place buttons at the top of the event list. Other good places to add donation buttons are:

      • TMtemplates/tmCheckoutExtraMessagesEmail.html which is used by the confirmation email and typically has nothing in it.
      • TMtemplates/tmCartEmpty.html which is displayed when the shopping cart is empty. For this situation, we'd suggest leaving the destination page as the cart.
      • TMtemplates/rowCartDonationSuggestion.html which is displayed on the cart window suggesting that people make a donation - and in this case, you could add some 'quickdonation' options to make it easier for the patron. For this situation, we'd suggest leaving the destination page as the cart.

      The TMtemplates/tmTicketCustomPatronInstructions.html file is used in all event lists and normally has nothing in it.

      <div class="alert alert-warning fade in">
         <!--#include virtual="TMtemplates/tmMessageDismiss.html" -->
         Please consider a donation to the theatre during this time of need. All donations are tax deductible.
         <br/>
         <br/>

         <a class="btn btn-info btn-sm" href="<field>F_HTML_FIREWALL</field>login?donationquick=1&amount=50.00&param=altbtn=btnCheckout&tmsource=sometag">

         10 a month - I'd like to give a little for a little longer
         </a>

      </div>

      Example donation quicklink outside TM commerce pages

      This example shows 3 donation links placed in a web page. Using this concept, you can place them anywhere on any web site you want, such as you main marketing web site, facebook, any marketing partner, etc.

      Three sample links are shown below that you can click on followed by the example web page in yellow.

      Note: the web page looks very plain because all stylesheet information has been removed for clarity. You may need to add your own style sheets to create buttons like the example code within Theatre Managers event list

       

      Sample code placed a web page

      The code below is a complete web page - including the head and body tags. You would only want to copy the links to place them into any of your existing web code such as facebook or wordpess sites

      <!DOCTYPE html>
      <html lang="en">
      <head>
      <title>

      https://tickets.artsman.com/TheatreManager/1/image?event=60

       

      You can access the images on the web site for events or venues. They are done in a heirarchy, so that if you ask for the event image and it is not available, you'll get the venue image. If that is not available, you'll get the outlet image.

      Branding web sales to make it look like the main web site

      Theatre Manager comes with a set of web pages that can be dropped in place so you can have web sales running in very short order. These web pages provide all the functionality of the web sales component of Theatre Manager including ticket sales, online donations, gift certificate sales, managing the shopping cart, and much more.

      While these web pages contain all the functionality, many venues like to change the look of the web pages to 'brand' the pages in their own image. To brand a site, the recommended steps are below. We recommend making a minimum of changes to the pages as it means that you can upgrade pages when we add future functionality quite easily. This is possible because we have tried to isolate the required changes to a few files at most. In practice, this works out very well.

      The general approach to branding the web site is:

      1. Use the sample pages and review the sales process. Also see examples of what others have done to show possibilities.
      2. Create a custom page design as the first step. Then use the standard pages as they are before making deeper changes.
      3. There are notes within Theatre Manager that get merged into the web pages. These describe search options, sales text, notes, maps etc that display on the web. It allows control of a number of changes to remain in the hands of the end user (a bit like a CMS).
      4. Only as a final step, adjust the text content on a few important web pages. Likely, there should only be changes required for mailing, box office hours and a couple of other pages.

        If you do want to change a page, copy that page into the same location in the WebPagesEN folder and make the changes to the COPY. Theatre Manager will reference the WebPagesEN folder first when looking for a web page then the default pages from within the TMServer if it finds none.

        Try to minimize changes to pages as it affects ability to upgrade pages later on.

      Before anything can be changed, you need to know where the web pages are. They are always installed in the WebPages folder of the Tm Web server that is set up when Theatre Manager is first installed. If you need remote access to this folder, we suggest using a GIT checkin/checkout process to edit pages locally and push the pages to your web server..

      Types of Pages

      The Web Sales Modules is comprised of a number of different pages, such as, the content pages, login page, shopping cart and checkout pages to name a few. To change the pages to be specific to your venue, your web developer/designer will need to edit the appropriate pages.

      The links on the side navigation beginning here, will guide you through the pages in the Web Sales Module and give you detailed information on how each web page is used by module.

      You can alter the source code of the Web Sales pages to suit your needs. However, if you do, Arts Management Systems is not responsible for supporting or debugging errors that may occur.

      Please ensure you have a backup of the web pages prior to make changes.

      Throughout this section of the help, you will see

      Programmer's Note: These notes provide the web developer/designer with further information on how to customize the web pages.

      Programmer's Note: Remember that changing the name of any of the html files that come with the Web Sales Module will require you to check that any pages that link to the new renamed page has been revised to accomodate for that change. Otherwise you will have broken links or errors on your pages

      Adjusting Content on Important Web Pages

      We recommend making changes to the responsive style in tmScripts/styles.hrlm only. However, we do know that some venues like to customize additional text on pages. This is possible if you change the actual web page itself.

      The other caveats:

      • Do not change the names of any field within a <form> tag or an <input> tag
      • Do not adjust any calculation between a <field> and </field> tag without consulting with an Arts Management Systems support person first. These calculations and field names are items merged back into a page from the database before it is sent to the user and in effect, are the guts of the web process

      Other than those general rules, open any page with your favorite page editor and make changes as you like. The pages that we find venues change most often are:

      • TMError.txt - to alter some of the error message text for some error conditions
      • tmTemplates/tmContact.html - to adjust any text around how to contact the venue
      • tmTemplates/tmnavButtons.html - to adjust which buttons are acceptable for the venue at the top of the page
      • TMdonation.html - to add comments about online giving
      • tmScripts/themeCDN.html - to set the bootstrap theme for the web pages with a CDN backing it up

      Changing Page Design

      The ticketing site uses Bootstrap 3 for the design and layout of the pages. A list of free themes available for the pages can be found on the Bootswatch site.

       

      Editing Bootstrap Themes

      The fastest and best way to completely alter the look of the web pages is to change the theme using a customization tool like Bootstrap Live Customizer.

      This can be done in minutes

      Alternatively the custom.css file can be altered to define individual element within the pages.

       

      Location of Web Pages for ticketing site

      The web pages for the ticketing site:

      • are located in a folder on the Web Listener computer (for those clients who self host) -or-
      • are located in a git repository (for clients using Artsman Cloud Hosting).

      The web page file structure consists of a WebPagesEN folder containing only those pages previously customized. A full set of the default pages are can be download from

      https://gitlab.artsman.com/_public/tmresponsivewebpages.

      When making edits to existing pages the latest default page should be downloaded and copied to the corresponding page within the local folder.

       

      Updating the Logo

      The logo at the top of the ticketing site in the navigation bar is a company logo. The quickest way to update the image would be to create a tmCompanyLogo.jpg file and place it in the /WebPagesEN/tmGifs folder. This will replace the default image.

      Alternatively an image can be added to the /WebPagesEN/tmGifs folder and the tmnavButtons.html page (located in the /WebPagesEN/TMtemplages folder) can be updated with the image name.

       

      Additional Edits

      Other commonly edited web pages are:

      WebPageEN/tmEvent

      • tmEventAdDefault.html - the ad at the bottom of the print at home ticket
      • tmEventBannerDefault.html - the banner at the top of the print at home ticket

      WebPageEN/TMtemplates

      • tmContactHours.html - to include the hours that the box office is typically open
      • tmnavButtons.html - add or remove buttons in the navigation bar to reflect the kind of items you sell online
      • tmSocialMedia.html - to provide the complete URL's of your venue's social media links

      WebPageEN/tmGifs

      • favicon.ico - to provide a customized icon for your venue in the browser URL bar.

      Removing Crimson Navigation Buttons

      In the default stylePages.css, the buttons within the online sales will appear red when using an Internet Explorer browser. For some clients, this works with their default pages. Others would prefer not to have the buttons appear in red. Please see the steps below on how to alter the buttons.

      1. On the Apache machine navigate to the /WebPagesXX/tmGifs folder.
      2. Open the styleButtons.css page using an html editing tool.
      3. Locate the following line:

        filter:progid:DXiMageTransform.microsoft.Gradient(GradientType=0,StartColorStr='#ff800000',EndColorStr='#ff333333');

      4. Add a /* before the line.
      5. Add a */ after the line but before the } symbol.
      6. Repeat the above two steps for all four filter lines within the styleButtons.css file.
      7. Save the changes.
      8. Clear the cache on the web listener to reflect the change.

      GitHub Desktop

      GitHub Desktop is one of many third party tools that can be used for accessing web pages hosted on the Artsman Cloud in a git repository. Git is a distributed version-control system. It's great at tracking who made changes to what and when.

      To setup access to your specific company web pages via Git, email support@artsman.com with the full name of the employee who will be allowed to make changes to your pages, and their company email address. For security and tracking purposes, only employee specific email addresses are accepted, like "johnsmith@example.com".

      To use GitHub Desktop simply download and install the program. Clone the git repository pages to your computer for editing locally. After edits are made Commit and Push to the master branch of the repository directly through GitHub Desktop.

      Only previously customized web pages will appear in the Artsman Cloud git repository for your organization. If the page you wish to edit does not appear on your local machine it may not have previously been edited. You'll need to download the default responsive pages and move that desired page to the corresponding folder on your local machine before making edits. Your repository should only contain customized web pages.

      Remember to download the latest responsive pages each time before you begin making edits.

       

       

      Inital Setup

       

      Using GitHub Desktop

      Copy GitLab Repository URL

      The GitLab Repository URL is needed when cloning the repository locally. The steps below should only need to be done once per repository during the initial setup.

       

      Copy GitLab Repository URL

      1. In a browser navigate to https://gitlab.artsman.com

      2. Select the Standard tab
      3. Enter your Email Address and Password

        Login information is requested through the Artsman Support team. If you have not previously been provided access please email the support team. When access is granted an email will be sent directly from GitLab to your email with steps for setting a password and logging in.

      4. Click the repository you wish to clone

      5. Click the blue Clone button
      6. Click the copy button next to the Clone with HTTPS URL

      This will copy the URL for the repository to your computers clipboard making it ready to paste into GitHub Desktop for cloning.

       

      Cloning Repository to GitHub Desktop

      Cloning a Repository to GitHub Desktop

      1. Open GitHub Desktop
      2. Click the arrow next to Current Repository to expand the menu

      3. Click the Add button

      4. Select Clone Repository...

      5. Select the URL tab at the top of the window

      6. Enter the URL copied from the git repository
      7. Select the desired location to save the pages
      8. Click the Clone button

        You may be prompted to enter the your login credentials for the GitLab repository.

      The web pages are now copied to your local computer for editing. When editing new pages always make sure to use the latest version of the responsive pages to ensure the page you are working on contains all the latest features.

       

      Pull changes from GitHub Desktop

      It's important to always start any web page editing by Pulling changes from the existing repository. This ensures any changes made that are not currently in your local repository are pulled to your machine before you begin making edits.

      Missing the step of Pulling means you may need to Rebase before completing the process of adding your changes to the repository. Rebasing a repository with conflicting changes requires a deeper understanding of git. For further information please see GitHub online documentation for assistance.

       

      Pulling Changes from GitHub Desktop

      1. Open GitHub Desktop

        GitHub Desktop is great at picking up when new pages are available in a repository. Changes are often detected within moments of opening the program and notifications can be seen in the main display.

      2. Click the Pull Origin button to pull changes to your local repository

       

      Any changes previously waiting to be pulled will now be in the folder on your local machine. The web pages are ready to be edited.

       

      Committing changes to GitHub Desktop

      Once web pages have been editing locally they need to be Committed before they are Pushed to the Artsman cloud repository. This allows you to add select changes while continuing to make edits.

       

      Committing Changes to GitHub Desktop

      1. Ensure pages that have completed edits are selected

      2. Enter a title and details for the commit

      3. Click the Commit to master button

       

      These changes are now ready to be pushed to the repository.

       

      Push Changes to GitHub Desktop

      Pushing changes moves the pages up to the Artsman git repository. Only pages that have been Committed can be Pushed. Once the pages have been pushed they run through a series of tests before they are available to be accessed by the web listener. To see edits following the test process you many need to clear the cache on the web listener.

       

      Pushing Changes to GitHub Desktop

      1. Click the Push origin button

       

      Changes have now been added to the online repository. Most changes will appear online within moments of editing. Items that are more deeply cached may require a clear cache and occasionally a restart of the Theatre Manager server. If you do not see your changes after clear the cache in Theatre Manager please contact the support team assistance.

      Placing the Customized Theme

      1. Create a new folder at /WebPagesEN/tmScripts/theme
      2. Create a new folder at /WebPagesEN/tmScripts/theme/css
      3. Copy the fonts folder at /WebPagesEN/tmVendor/bootstrap-3.4.1/fonts in the default web page templates to /WebPagesEN/tmScripts/theme/fonts in your customized web page templates
      4. Place the theme.min.css in the /WebPagesEN/tmScripts/theme/css folder on the Web Listener computer.
      5. Place the variables.less in the /WebPagesEN/tmScripts/theme/css folder on the Web Listener computer. (To save for future customization changes)
      6. Update the /WebPagesEN/tmScripts/themeLocal.html and /WebPagesEN/tmScripts/themeCDN.html pages:

        • Comment out the current style reference and
        • add the following link to the bottom of the page to use your personalized style sheets:

          <link href="tmScripts/theme/css/theme.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />

      7. After putting the new theme in place, clear the web listener cache and your web pages should display the new design.

       

      If your web pages are hosted on Artsman Cloud and you do not have access to the git repository, please send the customized bootstrap.min.css and variables.less file to support and we'll put the customized theme in place for you.

      Make Changes within Theatre Manager for Web Content

      Over the years, we have found that some changes web designers want to make were the same from venue to venue. We have taken those changes away from the web pages and allowed the end user to do them, without the assistance of a web designer. This makes Theatre Manager part of the 'content management' for the web site.

      The kinds of changes that fall into this category and involve no web design work are:

      • Pagination of the list of events presented to the user
      • Maps showing recommended seats or the seats in the venue
      • Search setup for finding best seating
      • Naming of events, gift certificates, passes, season subscription packages, donation campaigns
      • Naming of sales promotions, price codes and display options for these two fields
      • Naming of mail lists that users can sign up to
      • Allowing people to browse anonymously for tickets - or- required to sign in at the beginning
      • Print at home ticketing
      • Availability of coupon codes on the web
      • Comments and text to describe performances, events, donations, passes, subscriptions, etc
      • Onsale dates for events
      • Time outs for sales in a shopping cart
      • and a number of other business processes

      These kinds of changes are simple text changes to various data fields within Theatre Manager or changes to options in the Company Preferences area. Most do not require any changes by a web designer as they are daily operational aspects of TM.

      It is possible to add some html tags to some of the large descriptive fields like the event description. If there are html tags in those fields, you can have additional control over the display of text. eg, you can include <b><em><a><img> type tags very easily to create a desired look without changing pages.

      Permitted Web Ticket Printing Options

      There are three options available for ticket handling in online sales.

      • A patron can request their tickets to be mailed,
      • Tickets can be printed at home, or
      • Tickets can be held for will call.

      The options available to the patron depend on the organization's policies. To set these options go to Setup >> Company Preferences and select the Web Options tab.

      Mail To Patron

      The Mail to Patron option, when checked, displays a button in the TMcart.html, TMcheckoutNoPayment.html and TMcheckout.html pages. When a patron clicks the button, the Order Ticket Mailed Status changes to 'Patron Wants Tickets Mailed.' This criteria can be used to batch print the tickets at the box office.

      When the 'Mail to Patron' button is checked, a Mail Fee from the Fee Tables must be selected. The fee does not have to have a dollar value associated with it but is mandatory for the setup.

      If the box is not checked, the button providing the option to have tickets mailed will not be visible. Removing the check from this box does not mean the default text on the checkout page regarding mailing options changes. The TMcheckout.html page may need to be altered to exclude the mailing details if an organization does not mail tickets.

      If a patron selects mailing of tickets BUT there is a sales promotion that requires a coupon in the shopping cart, the mail tickets to patron setting is ignored and replaced by HOLD @ WILLCALL FOR COUPON. This can be changed in the sales promotion edits tab

      Print At Home

      When the 'Print At Home' option is checked the patron can choose to check a box in the online sales process indicating they wish to print thier own tickets. This provides the option for the organization to allow patrons to print bar codes for some events and not others.

      Checking the 'Print At Home' option will allow a bar code to be printed for performances where 'Print at home' is enabled at the Event or Performance level. This feature allows for later scanning when the patron arrives at the venue. There are two choices for bar code format:

      • Standard 3 of 9 linear bar code format - this will print a picket fence bar code and is only suggested if you are using the Motorola MC55 scanners which do not understand any other bar code format.
      • QR Codes (2D bar code format) - this is the preferred option and recommended in all other cases for additional security.. The Lineapro bar code scanners can read this format easily.

      If a patron chooses to print their tickets at home, the Ticket Printed field is updated with the date and time of the completed cart. The tickets are marked as printed in Theatre Manager. When a batch print of unprinted tickets is performed, the tickets printed at home will not be included.

      Hold For Will Call

      If the options to mail tickets or print them at home are not enabled the default option is to 'Hold for Will Call.' This insinuates the patron will be picking up their own tickets. By default, if the 'Mail to Patron' and 'Print at Home' options are enabled but the patron does not choose either, the Order Status is set to 'Hold for Will Call.' 'Hold for Will Call' simply means there are no special handling rules for the tickets.

      When the 'Hold for Will Call' box is checked, it allows the patron to choose not to print thier tickets or have them mailed. In some cases an organization may insist the patron' tickets not be held at will call. Unchecking the box forces the patron to choose between printing their tickets or having them mailed. This often happens when there will not be staff to manage ticket pick-ups at the venue prior to the performance.

      Logical Order of the Checkboxes

      There is a hierarchy to how the Permitted E-Ticket Delivery Options work. When the options listed are checked, they also become available for the Event and for the Performance.

      • Condition #1: If a Delivery Option is to be available online, it needs to be checked in the Web Options tab of Setup >> Company Preferences. The option can be made available for select events or performances (see below). However, if the option is not enabled in Company Preferences it will not be accessible within the desired Events.
      • Condition #2: The default Delivery Option needs to be set in the Event tab of an Event Setup.
      • Condition #3: If the condition for a select Performance should differ from the Event default, it can be altered. Select the Performance tab within the Event Setup and double click on the Performance. Choose the Ticket Printing tab and indicate the default for the selected Performance.

      Turning on Print at Home Option For a Selected Event or Performance

      To turn on the print at home option for a selected event or performance, you complete the following steps:

      1. Turn on "Print at Home Tickets" in Company Preferences >> Web Options.

        Click here for more information on the Web Options tab.

      2. Open the Event you want to allow patrons to print their own tickets to.

        Click here for more information on finding events.

      3. Enable Tickets can be printed at home (Patron Choice) for the event.
      4. Click the Save button.

        The confirmation dialog telling you "Turning on the print at home feature will update the ticket print options amd set this to be the same for all performances if you save the record. You can then individually edit a performance to customize settings if you wish.

      5. Click the Turn On button.

        Tickets for the Event and all of the performances can now be printed at home.

      6. To turn OFF Print at Home for selected performances, you complete the following steps:

      7. Open the correct performance in the Performances tab of the Event Window and select the Ticket Printing tab.

      8. Choose Tickets Cannot be printed at home (patron must select mail or will-call) for the performances you do not want patrons to print at home.

      Web Designer Testing Environment

      Version 9.25.00 of Theatre Manager is the minimum requirement.

      Many of our clients engage the services of, or have in-house, a web designer who prefers to customize the online ticketing web site themselves. Arts Management Systems is often asked how to set it up so that web designers can work independently and off site in a testing environment and see the effects of changes to the online ticketing web pages before making it live. The following outlines the steps to take to create a Web Designer Testing Environment:

      Step #1: Duplicate the Current Web Templates

      The directory for all the online web pages is located on the Web Server and depending on the platform:

      • Mac HD>> BoxOffice >> WebPages >>1 if your Web Listener is Mac -and-
      • Window Local C: >> BoxOffice >> WebPages >> 1 if your Web Listener is a Windows machine.
      • Duplicate the WebPagesEN folder and name the copy WebPagesTS (where TS denotes Test).
      AMS Cloud or GIT users need to do somerthing similar:
      • find the WebPagesEN folder in your GIT repository,
      • duplicate it, and
      • name it WebPagesTS

      Step #2: Setup Remote Access

      • For AMS Cloud users already using Git
        • Skip to step 3
      • For self hosted venues
        • Consult with your IT Department to establish a way to get web pages to the web server.
        • We recommend a Git repository established through Arts Management so that you push your web pages to our site and they are then migrated to your web site.

      Step #3: Testing Changes in a Web Browser.

      • Change the files in WebPagesTS folder as desired using your favourite editor. This will not affect your live web pages.
      • Migrate the changes to your web server
        • If editing the pages directly on the web server, you have nothing to do for this step
        • If using Git, just push in your changes
        • If using some alternate method like FTP, of file sharing, move the pages to your web server
      • Force reloading the web Cache. There are 3 ways to do this:
        • By accessing the director and clearing the web page cache (self hosted only)
        • By asking AMS support for the special URL to clear web cache using a browser (it is not documented here on purpose)
        • By clearing the cache in company preferences inside Theatre Manager
      • Test the Page changes

        The TM Server is designed to be multi language. It comes provided with English (WebPagesEN) and French (WebPagesFR). To use the test pages, you just need to 'switch languages' using

        https://tickets.myserver.com/TheatreManager/1/online&event=0&lang=TS

        where tickets.myserver.com is replaced with your ticket subdomain.

      • Switch Back to English after testing

        https://tickets.myserver.com/TheatreManager/1/online&event=0&lang=EN

      Step #4: Place the newly edited files.

      When you like some or all of the pages you have changed in WebPagesTS

      • Save a copy of the original pages in WebPagesEN so you can revert them back if need be
      • Copy the tested pages from WebPagesTS into WebPagesEN folder in the same folder structure
      • Migrate the changes to your web server using the same method as Step 3
      • Test test your web pages again .. just to make sure. And do a complete checkout.
        https://tickets.myserver.com/TheatreManager/1/online&event=0&lang=EN

      Customization Ideas

      Each client is provided the standard web pages designed by Arts Management Systems. Some organizations choose to make minor adjustments to they style sheets in order to reflect their default homepage. Others choose a more customized design of the pages. Examples of customized pages can be found on the Sample Web Sites page.

      Below you will find some examples other sites have used in their customization process. These examples can be used to create a more personal feel to your web site. If you are not familiar with html we would strongly recommend contacting your web designer for assistance.

      Adding a Merchandise Button

      There are many naming conventions for adding a merchandise button to the online ticketing site. Some organizations add a Shop button, others a Merchandise button and others a Rental button. The name of the button depends on the use of the resource module in Theatre Manager and the content to be accessed. The icon for the button may also vary depending on the buttons use. Options for the icon can be found on the Font Awesome website. We encourage you to use the naming convention and icon that work best for your organization.

       

       

      Adding the Code

      1. Open the tmnavButton.html page

        The page tmnavButton.html is located in the WebPagesEN/TMtemplates folder.

      2. Add the following HTML to the page:
        <li>  
           <a href="<field>F_HTML_FIREWALL</field>login?merchandise=0"> 
           <i class="fa fa-shopping-cart"> 
           </i> 
              Merchandise
           </a> 
        </li> 
        

      The recommended location would be after the Tickets, Gift Certificates and Donation buttons and before the Subscription button.

      Adding a Button for a Specific Donation

      You may wish to add a button on your web site to allow your patrons to make a donation of a specific amount with the simple click of a button. This may take the form of:
      • "Add $10 to support our Theatre School!"
      • "Give $50 to our Annual Fund Drive!"
      • "Support Music in our community! Add $25 to your order"

      Or any other needs your Marketing and Development Department can identify.

      This process includes web page editing. If you have a web designer on hand, they can perform these edits. If you wish to contract with Arts Management Systems to perform these or any customizations for you, please contact the Support Team at support@artsman.com

      Note: There is a difference between:
      • Donate a specific amount of $x.xx - which is described below -AND-
      • Round up to nearest $x.xx which looks at the current cart value and suggests small donation amounts to bring the total cart value up to a pleasant looking value.




      Adding the coding to the web page.


      1. Select the web page you wish to add the button to.
        The most commonly used page is rowCartDonationSuggestion.html.

        OPTIONAL- An include directive can be added to any of these pages:

        • The Home Page (tmHome.html)
        • The Login page (tmLogin.html)
        • The Shopping Cart (tmCart.html), which is pictured below.

      2. Replace the existing contents with the following HTML to the page:

         

        <field>pick(F_DONATION_ALLOWED,'<!-- comment: based on setting in company preferences to show suggested donation','')</field>
           <!--#include virtual="TMtemplates/tmMessageDismiss.html" -->
           <div class="container" align="center">
             <form action="<field>F_HTML_FIREWALL</field>online" METHOD=POST>
               <input class="btn btn-success" name="btnDonationAccept"type="submit" value="ADD $10 TO SUPPORT OUR THEATRE SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT"/>
               <input id="DD_DC_SEQ" name="DD_DC_SEQ" type="hidden" value="41"/>
               <input id="DD_AMOUNT_PLEDGE" name="DD_AMOUNT_PLEDGE" type="hidden" value="10"/>
             </form>
           </div>
        <field>pick(F_DONATION_ALLOWED,'-->','')</field>
      3.  

      4. Ensure that:
        • The HTML is outside ALL OTHER FORMS on the page you add it to.
        • You change the ’10’ to the suggested amount’.
        • You change the ’41’ to the proper campaign sequence number from within Theatre Manager.
        • You change the ‘add $10 to support….’ to reflect the text you wish to use on the button.
        • You include any mandatory donation fields by using including DD_FLDx_FC_SEQ references.

      Adding a Donor Field

      There are fields in the Notes tab of a Donation that can be added to the tmDonationHiddenFields.html so they appear on the TMdonation.html page in order to collect more details about the donation. The example below accesses the Donor#4 field. This is a text field. The patron can type information into the field within the online sales and the details will populate in the Donor#4 field in Theatre Manager once the Order is complete.

      This process includes web page editing. If you have a web designer on hand, they can perform these edits. If you wish to contract with Arts Management Systems to perform these or any customizations for you, please contact the Support Team at support@artsman.com




      Adding Donation Field




      Adding the coding to the web page.


      1. Select the web page you wish to add the field to.
        The most commonly used page is tmDonationHiddenFields.html.

      2. Add the following HTML to the page:

         

        <div class="form-group">
        <label for="DD_FLD4"> In Memory of...
        </label>
        <input class="form-control" id="DD_FLD4" maxlength="100" name="DD_FLD4" type="text" value="<field>DD_FLD4</field>"/>
        </div>
      3.  

      4. Test:
        • The field appears in the correct location within the web page.
        • The text populates into the correct field in Theatre Manager when a Donation is added online.

      Altering the Header and Ad on the Print At Home and PDF Ticket

      The default image at the bottom of the Print at Home and PDF ticket contains the text "A message from our Venue" and is titled ticketAd.png. This image could be replaced with marketing content or advertising from a Sponsor.

      This web page provides instructions for:

      • Changing the default pageHeader or ticketAd for all print at home tickets
      • Creating a custom pageHeader or ticketAd for all performances of a single EVENT
      • Creating a custom pageHeader or ticketAd for a single PERFORMANCE

      Sample PDF Ticket

       

      Changing the default footer and/or header for ALL print at home tickets

      The easiest way to update the header and/or footer for a print at home ticket is to create new files and place them into the WebPagesEN >> tmGifs folder.

      • pageHeader.gif - is the name of the page header file. In the example above, it is 75 pixels high and 700 pixels wide.
      • ticketAd.png - is the name of the Ad at the bottom of the page. The sample image is 200 pixels high and 700 pixels wide.

      In general, the width of each of the images should remain around 700 pixels. The height of the images can vary as long a the total height of both images causes the print at home ticket to remain on one page. You could, for example, make the top image 50 pixels high and use the remaining pixels in the lower area.

      The sample pages were crated with conservative heights. You could probably get away with a total of 400 pixels or more in height between the header and footer.

       

      Changing the footer and/or header for a SPECIFIC EVENT

      If you want to change the header or footer for a single event, you can create a web page that over-rides the header and/or footer. This allows you to have:

      • specific sponsors or instructions in the 'ticketAd.png' for an event or
      • a different header for your mainstage, or classes, or inventory or streaming events if you wish.

       

      As an example, let say you want to change the header (and/or) footer for only event 109 (See No Evil).

      Changing the Header
      • Make a new pageHeader.gif file:
        • call it pageHeader109 where 109 is the event number -and-
        • place it in the tmGifs folder.
      • Find the file called tmEventBannerDefault.html in the tmEvent Folder. If you cannot find it, please ask support to email it to you.
      • Rename it tmEventBanner109.html where 109 is the event number
      • Edit the file and change the link inside the file. The last line in the file will look like the line below.

        <img alt="Page Banner" border="0" src="<field>F_HTML_IMAGE_SERVER</field>tmGifs/pageHeader.png"/>

        Change pageHeader.png to be the name of the file in the first step, likely pageHeader109.png as below.

        <img alt="Page Banner" border="0" src="<field>F_HTML_IMAGE_SERVER</field>tmGifs/pageHeader109.png"/>
      Changing the Footer
      • Make a new ticketAd.png file:
        • call it ticketAd109 where 109 is the event number -and-
        • place it in the tmGifs folder.
      • Find the file called tmEventAdDefault.html in the tmEvent Folder. If you cannot find it, please ask support to email it to you.
      • Rename it tmEventAd109.html where 109 is the event number
      • Edit the file and change the link inside the file. The last line in the file will look like the line below.

        <img alt="Sponsored Image" border="0" src="<field>F_HTML_IMAGE_SERVER</field>tmGifs/ticketAd.png"/>

        Change ticketAd to be the name of the file in the first step, likely ticketAd109.png as below.

        <img alt="Sponsored Image" border="0" src="<field>F_HTML_IMAGE_SERVER</field>tmGifs/ticketAdXXX.png"/>

       

      Changing the footer and/or header for a SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE

      If you want to change the header or footer for a single performance within the event, you can create a web page that overrides the header and/or footer. This allows you to have:

      • specific sponsors or instructions in the 'ticketAd.png' for the performance or
      • a different header for a performance such as the final performance of a class, or for a touring or streaming performance
      The performance number is found to the left in the list of performances on the event window.

       

      As an example, let say you want to change the header (and/or) footer for only event 443.

      Changing the Header
      • Make a new pageHeader.gif file:
        • call it pageHeaderPerformance443 where 443 is the performance number -and-
        • place it in the tmGifs folder.
      • Find the file called tmEventBannerDefault.html in the tmEvent Folder. If you cannot find it, please ask support to email it to you.
      • Rename it tmEventBannerPerformance443.html where 443 is the performance number
      • Edit the file and change the link inside the file. The last line in the file will look like the line below.

        <img alt="Page Banner" border="0" src="<field>F_HTML_IMAGE_SERVER</field>tmGifs/pageHeader.png"/>

        Change pageHeader.gif to be the name of the file in the first step, likely pageHeaderPerformance443.png as below.

        <img alt="Page Banner" border="0" src="<field>F_HTML_IMAGE_SERVER</field>tmGifs/pageHeaderPerformance443.gif"/>
      Changing the Footer
      • Make a new ticketAd.png file:
        • call it ticketAdPerformance443 where 443 is the performance number -and-
        • place it in the tmGifs folder.
      • Find the file called tmEventAdDefault.html in the tmEvent Folder. If you cannot find it, please ask support to email it to you.
      • Rename it tmEventAdPerformance443.html where 443 is the event number
      • Edit the file and change the link inside the file. The last line in the file will look like the line below.

        <img alt="Sponsored Image" border="0" src="<field>F_HTML_IMAGE_SERVER</field>tmGifs/ticketAd.png"/>

        Change ticketAd to be the name of the file in the first step, likely ticketAdPerformance443.png as below.

        <img alt="Sponsored Image" border="0" src="<field>F_HTML_IMAGE_SERVER</field>tmGifs/ticketAdPerformance443.png"/>
      Print at home tickets must be enabled in company preferences and for specific events before a patron can print them.
      In the instructions below, the names of images and files are case sensitive. Please make sure they match exactly.

      Button to Apply a Specific Coupon Code

      The lines below are an example of how to create a button that will apply a specific Coupon Code to the online cart. This button can be added to any page within the online sales. It would most commonly appear on the TMtickets.html page or the TMcart.html page.

      This process includes web page editing. If you have a web designer on hand, they can perform these edits. If you wish to contract with Arts Management Systems to perform these or any customizations for you, please contact the Support Team at support@artsman.com




      Adding Coupon Button




      Adding the coding to the web page.


      1. Select the web page you wish to add the field to.
        The most commonly used page is TMtickets.html.

      2. Add the following HTML to the page:

         

        <form action="<field>F_HTML_FIREWALL</field>online" METHOD=POST>
        <input class="btn btn-success" name="btnCouponAccept" onclick="process()" type="submit" value="Click To Receive Our Special Promotion"/>
        <input type="hidden" id="CH_CODE" name="CH_CODE" value="1234">
        <input name='param' type='hidden' value ='altbtn=btnGetEventList'>
        </form>
      3.  

      4. Ensure that:
        • You uncomment the div statement.
        • You change the ’1234’ to the proper coupon code value from within Theatre Manager.
        • You change the ‘Click To Receive Our Special Promotion’ to reflect the text you wish to use on the button.

      Customizing the Event Date and Time Display

      The Event Buy options can be edited and displayed in two different ways. The two options for the 'Buy' button when purchasing Events online are detailed below. We have the conventional 'Buy/Reserve' option;

       

      Buy Button

       

      There is also the option to change that display to show both the Date and Time within the Buy Button itself, option example below.

       

       

      Adding the Code

        Options for editing the Buy button can be found by accessing and editing the rowTicketEventName.html.

        If you want to have a 'calendar' like date on the right of the list of Events, then uncomment rowTicketEventCalendarButton.html, and comment rowTicketEventCalendarDate.html.

         

         

        You will need to edit tmScripts/styleCal.html

        and either uncomment/comment the include for the customCal.css to match what you did above.

      Direct Purchase Button for a Member Type

      The lines below are an example of a button that will add a specific member type to the cart with a fixed value and quantity. This button can be added to any page within the online sales. It would most commonly appear on the TMpass.html page or the TMcart.html page.

      This process includes web page editing. If you have a web designer on hand, they can perform these edits. If you wish to contract with Arts Management Systems to perform these or any customizations for you, please contact the Support Team at support@artsman.com




      Adding Member Button




      Adding the coding to the web page.


      1. Select the web page you wish to add the field to.
        The most commonly used page is TMpass.html.

      2. Add the following HTML to the page:

         

        <div align="right">
        <form action="<field>F_HTML_FIREWALL</field>online" method="POST" role="form">
        <input name="MT_SEQ" type="hidden" value="23"/>
        <input name="PS_QUANTITY" type="hidden" value="1"/>
        <input class="btn btn-success" name="btnReservePass" onclick="process()" type="submit" value="Purchase/Renew a Voting Membership for $150"/>
        </form>
        </div>
      3.  

      4. Ensure that:
        • The HTML is outside ALL OTHER FORMS on the page you add it to.
        • You change the '23' to the proper member type sequence number from within Theatre Manager.
        • You change the 'Purchase/Renew a Voting Membership for $150' to reflect the text you wish to use on the button.

      Eliminating the Pricing Selection List

      Eliminating the Pricing Selection List

      The html code below will provide a single option for pricing rather the the price code drop down list that is currently a part of the online sale pages. This text most commonly would effect the TMticketsPrice_MapDefault.html and TMsubscriptionPriceMapDefault.html pages.

      <input name=SC_DESCRIPTION type=hidden value="<field>F_HTML_PROMOTIONS_LIST.1.SC_SEQ</field>>
      <field>F_HTML_PROMOTIONS_LIST.1.PC_SEQ</field>
      <field>F_HTML_PROMOTIONS_LIST.1.SCD_ORIGINAL_SC_SEQ</field>
      <field>F_HTML_PROMOTIONS_LIST.1.SCD_ORIGINAL_PRICE_CODE</field>
      <field>F_HTML_PROMOTIONS_LIST.1.SCD_SAVINGS</field>
      <field>F_HTML_SELECTED</field>
      <field>pick(D_WEB_SHOW_PROMOTION,'',con(F_HTML_PROMOTIONS_LIST.1.SC_DESCRIPTION,' '))</field>
      <field>pick(D_WEB_SHOW_PRICE_CODE,'',con(F_HTML_PROMOTIONS_LIST.1.PC_DESCRIPTION,' '))</field><field>F_HTML_PROMOTIONS_LIST.1.PS_TOTAL_COST</field>

    • The above code will print the default ticket price for the performance. This is based on the Default setting at the bottom of the Pricing tab within the event.
    • The line containing D_WEB_SHOW_PROMOTION will print the name of the default sales promotion.
    • The line containing D_WEB_SHOW_PRICE_CODE will display the name of the price code and the value of the ticket.
    •  

      Hiding General Admission Arrival Notes

      When setting up an event, that is not a Course or Reserved seating performance, the General Admission (Festival Seating) Sales Method is used. This allows for flexibility in capacity. It is commonly used for Live Stream or Pre Recorded videos. This poses a challenge when purchasing online as the default web pages display arrival notes that do not apply to Live events.

       

       

      Hiding these notes requires created a customized web page referencing the Map Sequence number from Theatre Manager and the Sales Method. Below are the steps for removing the box containing the text from the page. Alternatively, a custom page containing notes specific to the streaming event could be created and added in place of the existing general admission arrival notes.

      The steps below assume a basic understand of HTML and web page editing. Please contact your web designer should you need assistance with completing web page edits.

       

      Finding The Map Sequence Number

      1. Open the Venue List window in Theatre Manager.

        Click here for steps on how to access the Venue List window.

      2. Double-click on the Venue in the list to open it.

      3. Double-click the map in the right column.

      4. Take note of the Pricing Map number.

      Create A Custom Web Page

      The page containing the arrival notes is the TMticketsSection_MapDefaultf.html page located in the tmMaps folder. The " f " at the end of the page name indicates the Festival Seating page. This is the page that requires customization.

      1. Download the latest default web pages.

        https://gitlab.artsman.com/_public/tmresponsivewebpages

      2. Navigate to the /1/WebPagesEN/tmMaps folder.

      3. Copy the TMticketsSection_MapDefaultf.html to the organizations /WebPagesEN/tmMaps folder.

      4. Delete the word Default from the name of the page and replace it with the Pricing Map Number being extra careful not to remove the " f " at the end of the title.

      Editing The Web Page

      The final step is to edit the web page. The steps below outline how to remove the notes from the page.

      1. Open the Custom Web Page from above using a tool like NotePad++ or BBEdit.

      2. Scroll down to Line 53.

      3. Comment out the include statement for the generalAdmissionArrivalNotes.html.

       

      Mandatory Donation Fields

      If you have any mandatory fields set for donations (such as "Why Patron Gave" or other field on the Notes tab), then your online donors will need to have this field filled in for them automatically. Otherwise, they will not be able to donate online as the database will require the field, and the patron has no way of entering it. To determine which fields may be mandatory, go to:




      To correct this for online sales, you have two options:


      Option 1: Editing the web page (recommended)

      This process includes web page editing. If you have a web designer on hand, they can perform these edits. If you wish to contract with Arts Management Systems to perform these or any customizations for you, please contact the Support Team at support@artsman.com

      If you still wish those fields to be mandatory for the Box Office or Development Department, then you will need to make a slight adjustment to the tmDonationHiddenFields.html web page.

      The process starts by obtaining a Sequence Value from Theatre Manager

      1. Determine which field is set to be Mandatory.


      2. In Theatre Manager, go to Setup>>System Tables>>Code Tables.
      3. Look under the Donor #1, #2, #3 pop-up (or if the field has been renamed, look under its name).
      4. Choose which value is going to be the default value.
      5. In this example, we've chosen Internet Donation.
      6. Obtain the Sequence number for that value
      7. You may have to RIGHT click on a column header to show all the available columns, and select the Sequence number. In this example, the Sequence number is 982.



      Now you will need to go edit the tmDonationHiddenFields.html web page, located in the TMtemplates folder.

      1. Move a copy of the tmDonationHiddenFields.html web page into the TMtemplates folder.


      2. Open the tmDonationHiddenFields.html page and locate the following:




      3. This allows you to set a "default" value on these fields for web sales.

      4. Make the desired edits
      5. If the Sequence Number of the value you want to default to for Donation Field #1 = 982, then the line of code would look like this:

        <!-- comment: the following 3 fields are the donor popup fields on the 'notes' tab.
        If these fields have been made mandatory, then you will need to have a code table value
        for those fields for internet accepted donations. Change the value of xxx, yyy, or zzz to
        be the internal number of the appropriate popup. Also, uncomment the desired code below
        <INPUT NAME="DD_FLD1_FC_SEQ" TYPE=hidden id="DD_FLD1_FC_SEQ" value="xxx">
        <INPUT NAME="DD_FLD2_FC_SEQ" TYPE=hidden id="DD_FLD2_FC_SEQ" value="yyy">
        -->
        <INPUT NAME="DD_FLD3_FC_SEQ" TYPE=hidden id="DD_FLD3_FC_SEQ" value="982">

      6. Save the edited page in the TMtemplates folder.

      Option 2: A global change

      You can make the field non-mandatory. This will make the field not required for both Web Sales and in the Box Office/Development Office. To make this global change:

      1. Go to Setup >> Company Preferences >> MANDATORY DATA tab
      2. You will see a section for "Mandatory Fields on Donor Window" as noted above.

      3. Simply UNcheck the mandatory field options.


      Navigation Buttons

      Each page contains form input buttons as navigation. Buttons are used in the Web Pages not only to move between different sections of Web Sales, such as Ticketing and Donations, but are also used to communicate data to and from the Theatre Manager database, so that the content on each page is current and constantly linked back to the database. The commands that provide connectibility between the database and the Web Pages are contained within each button's <input> tag. Those Buttons Commands are listed below.

      There are two groups of buttons:

      1. Menu Navigation Buttons
      2. Data Submit/Navigation Buttons
      Menu Navigation Buttons

      The menu Navigation buttons reside within the TMtemplates/tmnavButtons.html file, and are dynamically imported into each page via the <include> command. The command looks like:

      <!--#include virtual="TMtemplates/tmnavButtons.html" -->

      and creates buttons that look like:

      Since buttons are subject to style changes, we are able to use the Bootstrap Style Sheets to make them fit whatever concept your site incorporates, such as:

      These buttons default to the bootstrap stylesheets for the 'nav navbar-nav' class.and can be enhanced in the custom.css style sheet

      Data Submit/Navigation Buttons

      The other buttons in each page serve different purposes by sending data to the database. These buttons work exactly the same way as the menu buttons only they allow Theatre Manager to receive the data that has been entered into the page and then load a new page page based on that data. An example of this would be to click on the Buy Tickets button which will take the patron to the TMtickets.html page allowing you to select a performance to buy tickets for. The Data Submit buttons will look like the following (although the words may vary)

      The Data Submit buttons default to the stylesheets for the 'btn' class and can be modified with 'btn-success', 'btn-warning', 'btn-info' and others such as 'btn-small'

      Buttons Commands

      This is a list of the button commands that Theatre Manager requires. They are entered as the name="xxx" portion of each input tag.

      These commands cannot be altered.

      • btnLogin
      • btnLoginAccount
      • btnLoginFromDetail

      • btnHome

      Seat View for Web Sales

      When purchasing a ticket online a link can be added offering the patron an opportunity to see the view from their selected seats prior to adding tickets to their cart. This option requires some setup in order to work successfully online.

      Once the setup is in place, the seat view button will become available. Clicking the button will open a new tab in the browser displaying the seat view image.

       

      Adding the Seat View Image

      1. Take a picture from each seat or from one seat that will represent multiple seats inside the venue.
      2. On the Web Listener computer, create a tmSeatView folder inside the WebPagesEN/tmGifs folder to store the seat view images.
      3. Place all the seat view images into the tmSeatView folder ensuring the naming convention for each image is clear.

       

      Updating the Theatre Map

      1. In Theatre Manager, open the Theatre Map.

        For details on how to access the Theatre Map window, click here.

      2. Select the Seat Names tab.

        For more information on the Seat Names tab, click here.

      3. Update the far right Seat View column next to each seat with the name of the seat view image placed in the tmSeatView folder above. The column should contain the full name of the seat view image including the extension. You can use the same image for a row or area of the venue if the seat view doesn't change that much. Examples:

        If you:

        • use your smart phone or digital camera to take a picture from the middle of row 'H' on the left of the theatre, that image could represent the view from all of row 'H' and perhaps even row 'J' and 'K'.
        • Retrieve that image from your camera and reduce its physical file size so that it is about 50 to 75K (at most - since most cameras take at least 4 megabit pictures, and sharply reducing the image size is important for web performance).
        • You might rename that file ViewFromRowHJK.jpg so that you know what it is at a glance
        • Place that picture into the tmSeatview folder described above
        • put the name of the file ViewFromRowHJK.jpg into the Seat View column for all the seats in rows 'H', 'J', and 'K'.
        • repeat for the next view from a seat picture you take of the venue
        You might find that a one or two dozen pictures might be enough to give the audience a good idea of the view from the seat. You can take this as far as you want -- one of our venues have built 360 degree seating views - but thats more work.
      4. Save and close the Map.

       

      Editing the Seat View Web Page

      1. Copy the tmViewFromSeat.html web page into the WebPagesEN/tmMaps folder.
      2. Edit the tmViewFromSeat.html page using a tool like NotePad++ or BBedit.
      3. Update Line 8 with the desired text to appears as the link online.

      Once the above steps are complete, restart the Web Listener to clear any previously cached web pages.

      Sold Seat Colour Online

      The default appearance for unavailable seats online is the FontAwesome icon of a person. When a map contains many small seats this may not be ideal as the people might appear to overlap. It may be more desirable to have the unavailable seats appear in a solid colour (or other icon) separate from available seats and suggested seats.

       

       

      To make this change you will want to edit the tmPickYourSeatMapDisplay.html web page. Locate line 43, it should look like this:

      <object class="embed-responsive-item" data="<field>F_HTML_SEATMAP</field>&reserved_colour=00FF00&reserved_only=false&format=pick&unavailable_color=FFFFFF &unavailable_text=&seat_font=FontAwesome&seat_font_load=cdn" id="venue_map">

      Change Line 43 to be:

      <object class="embed-responsive-item" data="< field>F_HTML_SEATMAP< /field>&reserved_colour=00FF00&reserved_only=false&format=pick&unavailable_color=000000&unavailable_text=​" " id="venue_map">

      This will remove the people (seat_font=FontAwesome&seat_font_load=cdn) and make the sold seats appear black (unavailable_color=000000). The colour of the unavailable seats can be updated to the desired HEX colour.

      • Sales Method 1 - Festival/General Seating
      • Sales Method 2 - Reserved Seating
      • Sales Method 3 - Inventory
      • Sales Method 6 - Courses

      Purchase Option for a Specific Member Type

      Adding a Purchase Option for a Specific Member Type

      The lines below are an example of a button that will add a specific member type to the cart with a fixed value. This button can be added to any page within the online sales. It would most commonly appear on the TMpass.html page or the TMcart.html page.

      <TABLE width="345" BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=1>
      <TR>
      <TD WIDTH=92 class="tablerowheader" align="center">
      <P align="right">Type</P>
      </TD>
      <TD width="240" class="tablerowheader">
      <FORM ACTION="<field>F_HTML_FIREWALL</field>online" METHOD=POST><DIV ALIGN="center">
      <label for="Team"><strong>Gift Certificates</strong> </label>
      <input type="hidden" name="MT_SEQ" value="14">
      </DIV>
      </TD>
      <TR>
      <TD WIDTH=92 class="tablerowheader">
      <P align="right">Quantity</P>
      </TD>
      <TD class="tablerowdetail">
      <select name="PS_QUANTITY" size="1" id="PS_QUANTITY">
      <option value="1" selected>1</option>
      <option value="2">2</option>
      <option value="3">3</option>
      </select>
      </TD>
      </TR>
      <TR>
      <TD valign="top" class="tablerowheader" align="right">Personalized Message</TD>
      <TD class="tablerowdetail" align="left">
      <textarea name="M_NOTES" cols="50" rows="5"><field>M_NOTES</field></textarea>
      </TD>
      </TR>
      <tr class="tablerowheader">
      <td colspan=2 align="center">
      <input name="btnReservePass" type=submit value="Add Gift Certificate to Shopping Cart" class="new" onMouseOver="pviiClassNew(this,'newover')" onMouseOut="pviiClassNew(this,'new')" onClick="process()">
      </FORM>
      </TD>
      </TR>
      </TABLE>

    • The code above places the Membership in a table. This allows for the description to appear in the left column and the options to appear in the right column. It also breaks up the title, quantity and message.
    • The section that opens and closes with the select function is a drop down. It allows the patron to choose the quantity of the item they wish to purchase. Each number in the drop down is represented by one of the option value lines.
    • The btnReservePass line represents the actual button. The value reference within this line indicates the text that will appear on the button.
    • The code above does not contain a dollar value reference. The value is set within Theatre Manager during the setup of the Member Type.
    •  

      Redirecting the Add Code Button

      When entering a coupon code in the online sales the patron clicks the Add Code button. This button appears in the TMtickets.html and TMcart.html pages. The button accepts the coupon or access code and returns the patron to the TMtickets.html page.

      This process includes web page editing. If you have a web designer on hand, they can perform these edits. If you wish to contract with Arts Management Systems to perform these or any customizations for you, please contact the Support Team at support@artsman.com



      Destination of PreSales and Coupon button



      Edit the code on the web page


      1. Select the web page to edit.
        The page to edit is tmTicketsPresalesCoupon.html.

      2. Locate the following HTML on the page:

         

        <input name="param" type="hidden" value="altbtn=btnGetEventList"/>
      3.  

      4. Edit the following
        • Change the 'btnGetEventList' text to 'btnCart'.

      Custom Genre

      The Genre setting with Theatre Manager are directly connected to the Ticket Trove application. This means the drop down is restricted to the current list of options and is not available for customization. You can however, create your own custom genre lookup using the Event code used to define each event within Theatre Manager OR the Performance Flag field which is associated with each performance within the database. This allows you to group together different types of performances or events and create your own sort options within the online sales.

      Custom Genre using Event code

      Using the Event Code within Theatre Manager you can create your own customized drop-down for genre. Lets consider you have three style of theatre programming; Mainstage, Theatre for Young Audiences and Alternative Theatre. You can use a value of the event code to create a custom genre search for the web sales process. You then comment out on the TMtickets.html and add code to reference the Event Code.

      The Event Genre will still apply in the TicketTrove application.

      When building events in Theatre Manager an event code is created. The event code consists of 6 characters with a default assumption that the code begins "XX-" where XX it traditionally the year/season of the event. Following the [-] dash you can then add your value. In this example lets assume MXX, YXX and AXX where M represents MainStage, Y represents Theatre for Young Audience and A represents Alternative Theatre.

      When Building your Mainstage Series of events your event codes could look something like 13-M01 for the first mainstage event, 13-M02 for the second mainstage event and similar for the Theatre for Young Audiences ( 13-Y01 ) and Alternate Theatre (13-A01). Then considering the 4th character in the code i.e.: M for MainStage, Y for Young Audiences and A for alternative you would add coding to your template to result in a lookup that would appear like the following.

        CUSTOM GENRE LIST     arrow

      See Adding code to Web Page for details.

      Adding Code to Web Page

      The customized code can be added to the TMtickets.html page. Look for the Genre field on the template; lines 76 to 80.

      Genre

      Add the comment values to comment out the present Genre Drop Down as follows:

      GenreComment

      Then copy and paste the following code either above or below the Genre code you comment out and you will have your new custom Genre lookup based on the value within the event code. Note that you can have as many lookups based on any value of the code you wish. Simply add as many [ option value="position('M' in P_SHOW_CODE)=4">Mainstage Theatre ] as you need. In this example we evaluate the fourth character in the Event code where M will show you MainStage Theatre.


      <tr>
      <td align="right">Custom Genre List</td>
      <td>
      <select name="search" id="search">
      <option value="">"any kind"</option>
      <option value="position('M' in P_SHOW_CODE)=4">Mainstage Theatre</option>
      <option value="position('Y' in P_SHOW_CODE)=4">Theatre for Young Audiences</option>
      <option value="position('A' in P_SHOW_CODE)=4">Alternative Theatre</option>
      </select>
      </td>
      <td align="left">
      <input name="btnGetEventList" type="submit" id="Search" value="Search" class="new" onMouseOver="pviiClassNew(this,'newover')" onMouseOut="pviiClassNew(this,'new')" onClick="process()"></td>
      </tr>

       

      Once the code above has been added to the TMtickets.html page the page should be saved in the WebPagesEN folder. Clear the Cache on the web listener and refresh the page in the browser. The updated changes should now be visible and available to select.

       

      Your Web Templete will then appear as follows:

      Genre1

      Your new lookup will then display as:

      Genre2

      When selection is made and the search button is clicked it will return all events in this example with an event code 13-M.

      Genre3

       

      Custom Genre using Performance Field #1

      Using the Performance Flag field within Theatre Manager you can create your own customized drop-down for genre. You then comment out on the TMtickets.html and add code to reference the Performance Flag.

      The Event Genre will still apply in the TicketTrove application.

      To create your own customized Genre for online reporting, you perform the following steps:

      Step 1 - Rename the Custom Genre Field

      The first step is renaming the existing Performance Flag to something that will make sense in the future. This is done in Company Preferences.

      1. Click Setup >> Company Preferences.

        The Preferences window opens.

      2. Select the Appearance tab.
      3. The Performance Field #1 may be used in other parts of Theatre Manager (such as course). If the fiedl contains something other than Perf Type, double check it is NOT being used elsewhere before changing any information.

      4. Scroll down to Performance Field #1 (lookup).

      5. Click in the field to the right of the Performance Field #1 and change the text to Custom Genre.
      6. Click the Save button.
      7. Close the Company Preferences.

      Step 2 - Add Custom Genre Options

      Yoiu can now add a unique list of Genres to your database. You do this in the code table. Click here for more information on Theatre Manager's Code Tables.

      1. Click Setup >> System Tables >> Code Tables.

      2. Single click on the Custom Genre option in the left column.

        This is not to be mistake with the default Play Genre for the TicketTrove application.

      3. Click the New button.

        The Custom Genre (inserting) window opens.

      4. Enter the name of the Genre to be added to the database.

        Options may include items currently found in the Event Genre as well as those unique to the organization.

      5. Click the Save button and close the new Genre.

        Repeat steps 3 through 5 above until all Genre's have been entered.

      6. Close the Code Tables window.

       

      Step 3 - Setting a Custom Genre

      Once the list of Genres is created, you need to assign them to each Performance. This method allows for flexibility between individual Performances.

      1. Click the Event button at the top of the window in Theatre Manager.

        The event list opens.

      2. Search for and open the desired Event.

      3. Click the Performance tab.
      4. Open the Performance and select the desired Genre from the drop down.

      5. Click the Save button and close the Performance detail window.

        Repeat the steps until all Performances have a Genre.

      6. Close the Event window.

       

      Step 4 - Locating the Custom Genre Sequence Number

      Each Custom Genre is assigned a unique sequence number when you add it to the database. This sequence number is needed to add the Custom Genres to the online sales web page.

      1. Click Setup >> System Tables >> Code Tables.
      2. Choose the Custom Genre option in the left column.

        This is not to be mistake with the default Play Genre for the TicketTrove application. The Sequence number will appear in the left column.

      3. Take note of the Sequence number and the corresponding Genre name.

       

      5 - Adding Code to Web Page

      The customized code can be added to the TMtickets.html page. Look for the Genre field on the template; lines 76 to 80.

      Genre

      Add the comment values to comment out the present Genre Drop Down as follows:

      GenreComment

      Then copy and paste the following code either above or below the Genre code you comment out and you will have your new custom Genre lookup based on the value of the Performance Field #. The code can be found below. The PB_TYPE1_FC_SEQ is followed by a number. This number is the Custom Genre Sequence number from above. Note that you can have as many lookups based value of the Sequence number you wish. Simply add as many [ option value="PB_TYPE1_FC_SEQ='XXX'">Comedy ] as you need.


      <tr>
      <td align="right">Custom Genre List</td>
      <td>
      <select name="search" id="search">
      <option value="">"any kind"</option>
      <option value="PB_TYPE1_FC_SEQ='955'">Comedy</option>
      <option value="PB_TYPE1_FC_SEQ='956'">Drama</option>
      <option value="PB_TYPE1_FC_SEQ='957'">Recital</option>
      </select>
      </td>
      <td align="left">
      <input name="btnGetEventList" type="submit" id="Search" value="Search" class="new" onMouseOver="pviiClassNew(this,'newover')" onMouseOut="pviiClassNew(this,'new')" onClick="process()"></td>
      </tr>

      The result will be the same as shown for the Event code of the previous page.

       

      Once the code above has been added to the TMtickets.html page the page should be saved in the WebPagesEN folder. Clear the Cache on the web listener and refresh the page in the browser. The updated changes should now be visible and available to select.

       

      Analytics (Google, Pixels and Links)

      There are multiple ways for venues to do analytics on the TM web site usage. You can use one or more of the options below to find out what you need for marketing purposes.
      Regardless which option or approach you require - after placing javascript code or google tracking account into the database, test the web pages. If something breaks, take the pixel code out and fix it - then retest

       

      General Approach to tracking web page usage

      In most cases, tracking means you should only need to:

      • Add an additional parameters to a direct access links to TM's web pages
      • add or edit some fields in company preferences and not change web pages

       

      Direct Link tracking in Theatre Manager Carts - most accurate

      • Using Theatre Manager's direct access links in eblasts and web pages and adding a tmsource tag to the link.
        • The source is tracked on each shopping cart to let you know the original source URL or marketing activity that led to the cart being created.
        • It is the most direct indicator of completion of sale from start to end and can be analyzed on reports or in the cart list.

      Page Usage Tracking using Google Account

      Use Google Analytics to determine which pages are accessed:

      • Google's preferred way of page tracking:
        • is done by simply adding google account number to the company preferences which is
        • automatically merged into the google header html page called googleheader.html by the web server processes
        This provides a more accurate count of distinct page hits.
      • An older method from google that places google code in the footer of the html page.

       

      Pixel Conversion Tracking

      • Using the same company preferences to cause pixel conversion code to be added automatically to certain web pages or Facebook, Google, or MOGO conversion pixels. Typically, we have found that you may need to provide one or more of the following three snippets of code:
        • Header - if you want that pixel or tracking code added to every page header automatically
        • Footer - if you want that pixel or tracking code added to every page footer automatically
        • Checkout - which sends the final pixel conversion data, including some customized cart totals or other data to your pixel tracking company
      • In some rare cases, you may want to actually edit a web page. The best way to find out which web page is to:
        • follow through the sales process
        • get to the page you want -and-
        • right-click to view page source or inspect an element.
        You will see comments in the HTML that tell you which page to edit.

      Mogo/Facebook/Google Marketing Pixel Conversion Codes

      The following is a general reference for placing pixel code within Theatre Manager so that they appear on the appropriate web pages.
      For employees of MogoArts, your pixels have been used in web pages at a number of Theatre Manager venues. Please refer to Mogo's internal corporate Wiki Pages that describe your internal processes for Theatre Manager. An image has been provided.
      Variables can be used within pixels to get actual cart values.

       

      Implementing Tracking Pixels

      The general steps for implementing pixels are:

      1. Get your pixel code from MogoArts, Facebook or Google. There will likely be at least 2 or 3 of them
      2. There are source pixels that you place on your referring web site as part of the campaign. Eg, you might have a facebook pixel on a facebook page.
      3. There may be middle pixels that you place on your marketing web site - which is where the Facebook or mogo pixel refers you to.
      4. On your marketing web site, you would have information on the event and a buy button that takes you to the Theatre Manager commerce pages. Refer to making links for your marketing page.
      5. The end of the process is the final pixel on the checkout page.

        Pixels:

        • are created entirely by your pixel company or your marketing representatives
        • are maintained by your pixel company.
        • can contain Variables referencing cart data, if thats what you need to track
        • are most often pasted into Theatre Manager's Company Preferences->Web Listener tab, most likely in the Checkout field.
        • The pixel company may also have pixels they want placed in every page. Google is an example for page tracking
        • can be placed in aggregate. If you want both Mogo and Google pixels, paste them into the appropriate section of Theatre Manager web listener preferences.
      6. TEST your web pages from beginning to end and complete a transaction. Then verify that the data from your pixels is getting to your pixel tracking web site (eg MOGO or Facebook).

       

      Other Cautionary info on Tracking Pixels

      Mogo, Facebook, or Google pixels can be placed in Company Preferences->Web Listener tab as required to accomplish what you want without needing to edit any web pages. You can also edit web pages directly if you have unique requirements.
      Conversion pixel codes imbedded in iFrames are not allowed by the Credit Card PCI Council on web pages due to a security risk called Click-Jacking (effectively a man-in-the-middle attack vector).

      If the MOGO pixel provided is with an iFrame, please inform them to give you one that is javascript. For your own safety, Theatre Manager web pages do not support embedded iFrames because the PCI Council forbids it.

       

      Confirming Tracking Code Placement

      A tracking code added to the Header or Footer field in Theatre Manager should be visible in the source code of all pages on the ticketing site. Code added to the Checkout field would be visible on the final page of the sales process. A sample link would be:

      https://tickets.yourvenue.com/TheatreManager/1/ccauth

      MogoArts Internal Wiki Documentation

      This is not an endorsement of pixels from MogoArts.

      We have seen MogoArts' internal documentation wiki. We are not sure of the exact web page, we believe it is called 12_44_43-Vendor - Ticketing Wiki - Google Sheets2222. It contains instructions that look like the image below.

      Variables in Pixel Pages

      Data Field Variables for Pixels

      These are common data fields that can be used by by Facebook, Google or MogoARTS when implementing a data layer on Theatre Manager ticketing sites.

      • Order ID= <field>SCH_ORD_SEQ</field>
      • Patron ID = <field>SCH_C_SEQ</field>
      • Total $ Spent = <field>SCH_TOTAL_COST</field>
      • Ticket Quantity = <field>SCH_TIX_QUANTITY</field>
      • other fields that you can use in web pages are referenced here

      At this time, specific events cannot be tracked, as the online shopping cart can contain tickets for multiple events or items – such as donations, passes or gift certificates.

       

      ** NOTE: All field references need to be added to the pixel code using <field> tags. An example would be

      <field>SCH_ORD_SEQ</field>

      Google Translate - multi language

      The following technique is a quick and mostly effective way to create translated pages. it is NOT supported, nor ENDORSED - properly translated web pages are always better.

      Sometimes you may be doing a show that caters to a language outside your usual cultural domain. The following is a quick and dirty way to get Google to translate your pages for you after they have been rendered. Effectively:

      • the TM Server renders the pages in english and delivers them to the user
      • Google Translate does the best job it can do of translating that page into the language chosen by the user. It won't be perfect, but it might be good enough.
      • From that point on, all pages on your web site will be in the other language.

      To implement

      • Start Theatre Manager
      • Open company preferences at the Web Listener Tab
      • Copy the text in yellow below and paste into the Bootstrap Footer Display Code
      • Replace UA-xxxxxxxx-x with your own google account number
      • Save the company preferences
      • Test your web pages - you should see a popup like the this:

       

      <!--Google Translate Code -->
      <div id="google_translate_element">
      </div>
      <script type="text/javascript">
      function googleTranslateElementInit()
      {
      new google.translate.TranslateElement({pageLanguage: 'en', layout: google.translate.TranslateElement.InlineLayout.SIMPLE, gaTrack: true, gaId: 'UA-xxxxxxxx-x'}, 'google_translate_element');
      }
      </script>
      <script type="text/javascript" src="//translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementInit">
      </script>

      Google Analytics

      Google Analytics is a powerful way of understanding how people come to arrive at your web site and which pages they visit.

      The sample source for a web page footer can be pasted into Theatre Manager in Setup >> Company Preferences. The footer is added to each page within the default web pages. You will need to sign up to get a UA-XXXXX-X number that will replace the value in the sample code.

      Theatre Manager's Company Preferences uses the Traditional Snippet and placement in the footer on your WebPages. For more information about Google's Traditional Snippet, click here. If you'd like to utilize Google's new Asynchronous Snippet, suggestions for doing so will be included at the bottom of this page.

      Once you have this set up in Theatre Manager, you can also include it in your eblasts. Analyzing the statistics occurs by logging in to the Google Analytics Login Page.

      You can also track the direct source of why a cart was created using the &tmsource=yyy tag.

      >

      Additionally, there is a provision in Theatre Manager's word processor to add the Google Analytics code from the Web Listener Tab to a Form Letter, which can then be used as an Eblast to patrons in the database. For general information on how to create a Form Letter in Theatre Manager, click here. To add the Google Analytics code to a letter:

      1. Open a Form Letter (existing or create new). If you need instructions, click here.
      2. Right-click in the letter at the footer or wherever you'd like to embed the code to bring up the context window .
      3. Select Insert Data Base Field > Current Addresses > Google Analytics Code.

      Once the letter has been emailed to patrons, the same sort of analysis that can be done with web pages can be done for your eblast. For more information on setting up for an eblast from within Theatre Manager, click here.

      Using the Asynchronous Snippet from Google Analytics

      To make use of Google's Asynchronous Snippet, just enter your Google account number into the company preferences page above . Theatre Manager self configures the web pages to start tracking.

      Troubleshooting web sites

      Sometimes customers complain when using any web site. There are many reasons and sometimes it is about the technical aspects of the web site, sometimes it is simply a cultural thing and word changes can make all the difference. This section focuses on some issues that are heard and what to do about them.

      Browser unable to access web site or security issues

      If a patron indicates that they cannot access a web site or that they are getting some weird messages, the first thing to do is determine if their browser and the web site are compatible.

      ALWAYS Test the TLS certificate

      To Do This:

      • Go to the web site ssllabs.com/ssltest and run a test of the ticketing URL to see what is reported. Enter the URL and make sure keep the results private by not showing them on the boards.

      • Review the results as below. At this time, make sure that:
        • the site gets at least an 'A' score
        • there are no unexplainable comments
        • only TLS 1.2 and later is supported with SHA 256
        • and that the users browser is in the list of acceptable/current browsers. Anything older, will not connect

      Review the results of the TLS Certificate Test

      The ENTIRE document tells us something about what browsers the web site will support and how they will support those browsers. The key parts are described as follows.

      Overall Score

      The overall Score is near the top and may have a message or two. This looks like the image below.

      Configuration Protocols

      Review the protocols supported. This will change from time to time and only get stronger. As of Sept 2016, the PCI council and the browser makers (Google, Safari, Firefox, etc) are all pushing TLS. The minimum current safe browsing standards are TLS 1.1 or TLS 1.2. Anything lower means your web site is vulnerable to some web attack. TM Server is designed to only allow TLS 1.2 at this time - because of PCI.

      Please ensure that only TLS 1.2 is enabled.

      Review the browsers supported

      A little further down the report is a complete list of many different browsers. The list includes many older ones and all the current versions and tells you:

      • Which browsers cannot connect. eg IE 6, 7, 8, 10 & Safari on OSX 10.8.x and earlier cannot use the web site - simply because the browsers do not support the minimum secure protocol as recommended by PCI.
      • For those browsers that connect, it tells you with protocol and (TLS 1.2) and level of encryption (RSA 2048/SHA 256) with ECDHE (Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman Exchange) protocol for negotiating the key exchange between the web site and browser (very secure).

      Microsoft IE 11 unable to access Web Site

      If you or some of your patrons are unable to connect to a web site supporting the latest security with IE 11 on windows 7 or later, there is an easy fix, as documented in the Microsoft Technote 2851628

       

      In general, IE 11 cannot distinguish the various security methods automatically like other browsers and need to be told to ignore SSL 2.0:
      • Microsoft indicates this is an issue if both SSL 2.0 and TLS 1.2 are enabled as security options in IE 11
      • The solution, they say, is to disable SSL 2.0 (which is normally disabled by default and is no longer supported by any commerce web site

      If your customers ask, this may be their problem.

      Patrons can't use an email address

      Why can't a patron use an email address?

      If a person cannot create an account with a specific email address within Theatre Manager web sales, it is for one of 3 reasons:

      • The email address is already in the system for one patron and the only course of action is to request a forgotten password
      • The email address is in the system but attached two TWO OR MORE patrons in different households. TM allows sharing of an email within a household, but not across households. So, TM denys use of that email address until the box office sorts out who really owns it using the find duplicate email address function. It could be that people need merged from two separate data imports, or one person should not have it.
      • we cannot find the domain name or there is no MailBox (MX) server for the email address. Perhaps they've specified something like ImBad@rotten.org - which really doesn't exist, so we can't create it.
      Unless you have changed messages in tmError.txt to the contrary, use the above checklist to check email address rejection.

      The forgot my password web page shows this generic message.

      Why can't the messages be more specific?

      Can Theatre Manager actually distinguish amongst the types of errors above? yes it can - there are actually separate error messages in the tmError.txt for all these situations. However, they just happen to say the same thing 'Email address can't be used'

      Why is that? The PCI council (Visa and Mastercard) make all the rules as to what kinds of applications are compliant. Theatre Manager is audited and approved by the PCI council to make sure we follow the rules of safe storage of their credit card data and safe online web sales following their prescribed audit cycles.

      One of the rules concerns privacy. A web site should NOT give back any information about accounts and login credentials. The thinking is that if there is an easy way for a bad buy to find out which email addresses are in a system, they are half way there to logging in. Thats because people tend to use the same id's and passwords at many sites. So, if they've cracked another site, then its easier to infiltrate venues that give out this kind of knowledge.
