Many years ago I created an event ticketing system using OS Commerce, a PHP / MySQL based system.
I am looking for someone to modify Open Cart in a similar way, so I have the ability to sell event tickets through the shopping cart. When adding new products on the back-end, a simple radio button asks: Is this item a ticket YES | NO
If a product is configured as a ticket - when the item is sold through the shopping cart, an alpha-numeric ticket ID is generated and inserted into a table called "tickets" with an order_id, purchase_date, expiration_date etc..
Upon completing a successful payment - an email is sent to the customer that contains a printable ticket with a bar-code. I used FPDI - a PHP Class to generate my bar-coded tickets.
Look at my feedback, I have completed many projects. I will NOT work with someone that has less than 20 positive reviews.
Let me know if you're interested in working on this project, tell me why I should select you. If you are interested, I will provide more details..
