Layouts.

New templates can be added and existing ones can be edited at any time. 

Email Layouts

There are several different emails that are sent from the system, both automatic (e.g. confirmation for online purchases) and manual (receipt or reservation confirmations sent from Box Office). All these emails can be created and edited directly from Box Office in the e-mail layout module which can be found under Administration - Layouts - Emails.

HTML editor

The template is edited in HTML and it will require some previous knowledge if you would like to create a complete new design. It is however pretty easy to just change text snippets. All content in the HTML code will be put inside the <body> </body> tag.

The text that is black inside the body tags are text fields that you should look for and can edit. When changes are made in the code, it will immediately be visible in the preview window to the right.

Dynamic variables

It is also possible to change what is shown in the preview by changing the content for each variable.

Start and end tags

#EVENT#, #PRODUCT#, #TICKETS# are all start and end tags. This means that everything that is put in-between #EVENT# and #EVENT# will be repeated for each event in the order.

 

Ticket Layouts

The module for ticket layouts can be found at Administration - Layouts - Tickets. There it is possible to edit existing layouts as well as create new ones.

To edit the layout, click the layout you want to edit and then Edit to get to the layout editor.
