Events site background information
Transition Network maintains a event ticketing service for the international support ecosystem to promote events and sell tickets.
Features
It is an instance of Pretix and so has the Pretix features
Shops
Current ticket shops include
https://events.transitionmovement.org/transition-together/
https://events.transitionmovement.org/practise/
https://events.transitionmovement.org/inner/
The events from these shops can additionally be viewed on these URLS, this enables a 'pretty' embed with automatic translation based on a users browser language (see below)
https://transitiongroups.org/events/transition-together/
https://transitiongroups.org/events/practise/
https://transitiongroups.org/events/inner/
Embedding
The events from individual shops can be embedded using the syntax
https://transitiongroups.org/events/inner/iframe/
We can apply custom colours to the buttons etc on request
Import to Humhub
The events created can be automatically pulled into Humhub using the external calendar module
Aggregator
There is an intention to aggregate together all these events, thinking on how best to do this is underway
Adding events
See screencast
Sending email to attendees
Do not use scheduling for sending emails at the moment until this functionality has been tested.
Under Email Settings > Email Content, Free Order supersedes Placed Order.
So if sending email for free events, put the email copy needed in the Free Order section
For general instructions on how to send email to attendees, please see Screencast here
Personal data
Please keep personal data captured about attendees to a minimum. Don't capture the data if it is not needed
Special category data
There are legitimate reasons for capturing accessibility data, users may use this part of the form to divulge Special category personal data.
Therefore before adding accessibility questions to a ticket shop please send a mail to privacy@transitionnetwork.org so that we can check the access & retention processes around this data.
