Ticket Tailor [tt-event] Shortcode

The Ticket Tailor shortcode, ‘tt-event’, is used to embed a ticket booking widget into a webpage. It accepts parameters like ‘url’, ‘minimal’, ‘bg_fill’, ‘inherit_ref_from_url_param’, and ‘ref’. This shortcode dynamically generates a script that fetches and displays the widget from the provided ‘url’. The ‘minimal’, ‘bg_fill’, ‘inherit_ref_from_url_param’, and ‘ref’ parameters modify the widget’s appearance and behavior.

Shortcode: [tt-event]

Parameters

Here is a list of all possible tt-event shortcode parameters and attributes:

• url – link to the Ticket Tailor event
• minimal – enables a minimalistic ticket widget design
• bg_fill – fills the background of the widget
• show_logo – determines if the Ticket Tailor logo is shown
• inherit_ref_from_url_param – pulls reference from the URL parameter
• ref – sets the reference for the widget

Examples and Usage

Basic example – This example demonstrates the simplest way to use the ‘tt-event’ shortcode, where only the ‘url’ attribute is defined. This will load the Ticket Tailor widget for the specified event URL.

[tt-event url="https://www.tickettailor.com/events/eventname/12345" /]

Advanced examples

1. This example includes the ‘minimal’ attribute set to ‘true’. This will load the Ticket Tailor widget in a minimalistic style.

[tt-event url="https://www.tickettailor.com/events/eventname/12345" minimal="true" /]

2. This example includes the ‘bg_fill’ attribute set to ‘false’. This will load the Ticket Tailor widget without background fill.

[tt-event url="https://www.tickettailor.com/events/eventname/12345" bg_fill="false" /]

3. This example includes multiple attributes. It sets ‘minimal’ to ‘true’, ‘bg_fill’ to ‘false’, and ‘ref’ to ‘my_custom_ref’. This will load the Ticket Tailor widget in a minimalistic style without background fill and with a custom ref value.

[tt-event url="https://www.tickettailor.com/events/eventname/12345" minimal="true" bg_fill="false" ref="my_custom_ref" /]
