Event-Manager

Directory: custom/plugins/B2BSellersCore/addons/B2bEventManager

With the Event Manager, sales staff can easily create and manage events. Customers can register in the store for free or paid events. All events can be conveniently created and managed in the storefront by the sales staff (No access to the admin area necessary). Save money as no additional third party tools are needed to edit and manage the events. The Event Manager or the entire B2b Sellers Core uses Shopware Core functions such as the order process. This means that many basic functions such as shopping cart or participant management can be mapped using Shopware standard functions. All data of the event participants remains in Shopware.

Actions of the sales staff

The Sales Staff has the ability to create or manage events.

Create event

In the menu, select Event Manager > Create Event. Note that each event must be assigned to an article (Shopware standard function).

Multiple events can be assigned to one item.

After creating the event, you will be redirected to the event management page. Alternatively, you can find the event management page under Event Manager -> Manage Events. Here you can make further settings for the event details, participants and descriptions.

By default, the event is always created in "draft" mode. Depending on the settings in the Shopware admin area, it may still be necessary to change the event status so that the event is visible to customers. You can do this under Event Manager -> Manage Events -> Your Event.

More Information

  • Changing participant details

    Both participant information and document information can be adjusted or completed.

  • Participant management The Sales Staff can manually add a customer to the event. An already registered participant can be set by Cusomer Stuff to the status Excluded, Canceled, Not Participated or Participated. Different statuses can be created in the Shopware Admin area.

Twig Snippets for E-Mail Templates

Order Confirmation E-Mail Template

The participant information is provided in the payload for each event line item.

// lineItem.payload
{
  ...
  "participant": {
    "id": "018c598e5cfa71f1aff8e2c6ad052e74",
    "email": "henk.becker@ektek.com",
    "employee": null,
    "lastName": "Becker",
    "firstName": "Henk",
    "employeeId": "018a6eb3feb071d58e3cdce55b2759ba",
    "extensions": []
  },
  ...
}

That information can be used in the template, for example:

{% if lineItem.payload.participant is defined %}
    Participant:
    {{ lineItem.payload.participant.firstName }}
    {{ lineItem.payload.participant.lastName }}
{% endif %}

// Output: "Participant: Henk Becker"
