Question: Editing payment status about camptix

[kovshenin]

Is that a manual confirmation or can it trigger an HTTP call like the PayPal API would? If not, then I guess you'll have to extend the user interface, perhaps add a confirm/deny button to the attendees screen.

Right now it's a very straight forward payment system. Just select the ticket(s) you want and then select "Wire transfer" in the list of payment methods. The actual information for the wire transfer itself is sent as part of the confirmation e-mail (essentially they just use it to book a ticket).

They then transfer it, the treasurer confirms the payment should then click a "Payment Received" button or something of that nature that changes the payment status to "Completed". Not quite certain where in the code I would modify to extend the attendee interface.

You would probably add a metabox to the edit attendee page containing the button.

Thanks mate, managed to figure it out. One question. At the moment I added it inside of the camptix.php. Would it be possible to call this from an addon as well?

[kovshenin]

Sure, you can call it from an addon file or a third party plugin.

Hi Kargha,

I have the same problem you had. Would you share your solution?
I'm not that code proficient. Thanks.

Hi karlusy,

My version is not very elegant and it's put into the camptix.php which isn't very efficient as, if you'd update the camptix plug-in, then the changes will be lost.

In camptix.php, add the following function:

    /**  
     * Generates a drop-down to set ticket status to either "pending" or "completed"     
     */
    function metabox_attendee_payment_approval() {
        global $post;
        $ticket_id = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'tix_ticket_id', true );
        $ticket = get_post( $ticket_id );
        ?>
        <p>Current Status: <?php echo $post->post_status; ?></p>
        <p>Change Status to: </p>
        <select id="payment_status" name="payment_status">
            <option value="pending">Pending</option>
            <option value="publish">Completed</option>
        </select>
    <?php
    }

Then, in the function "save_attendee_post", before the following line:

add_action( 'save_post', array( $this, __FUNCTION__ ) );

add

        if(isset($_POST['payment_status']))
        {
            wp_update_post( array(
                'ID' => $post_id,
                'post_status' => $_POST['payment_status'],
            ) );
        }

This will take care of the functionality of getting the data from the drop-down to actually update the status of the attendee.

Finally, you need to add the following line inside the "add_meta_boxes" function in order for the metabox with the dropdown to show up:

        add_meta_box( 'tix_payment_info', __( 'Payment Information', 'camptix' ), array( $this, 'metabox_attendee_payment_approval' ), 'tix_attendee', 'side' );

You should modify this code to fit your needs, as well as move it outside of the camptix.php so it doesn't disappear.

Fantastic! Thank you for your quick reply. I'll give it a try.

Thanks also to the developers of camptix for providing such a nice plugin.
