This requires an email to info @

This means going off site, it is recommended to use the shortcode tix and the registration page.
This prevents people from going off the DoD website

@patrickjgoodwin pulling you into this PR to provide info about Pretix integration. I think we're stuck right now.

[patrickjgoodwin]

The Prefix Washington DC Organizer was created by @yvovandoorn last year when we onboarded with PreTix. The short form name seems to be immutable to Jeff and myself but maybe @yvovandoorn has the ability to change is as a PreTix admin.

[gallimorej]

I think we have two paths here:

1. @yvovandoorn (or someone) helps us fix the short form name so the Pretix widget works
2. We go back to using our registration_link hack in main.yml that accommodates the unique config for our event

[toshywoshy]

OK, I will spill out the instructions and try to be as clear as posible and provide all information, which should be documented, what you need to do is just add a new page registration.md with the shortcode tix and there is no need to involved others at this point.
The file registration.md should be added with the following content

+++                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
Title = "Registration"
Type = "event"
Description = "Registration for DevOpsDays Washington DC 2025"
+++

{{< tix city="devopsdays-washington-dc" year="2025" info="show" >}}

Remove the link from the registration_link and the registration page will be used and show pretix embedded

[gallimorej]

@toshywoshy I tested that out locally and it doesn't work because the short form in Pretix has a typo in it which breaks the widget. I'll push the change so you can see it.

This is the line in the theme file

<pretix-widget event="https://tickets.devopsdays.org/devopsdays-{{ $city }}/{{ $year }}/" {{- if eq $info "show" -}} display-event-info{{- end -}}>

Because of the prepending of "devopsdays-"... the short form for us in Pretix is "devopdays-". That's why we need @yvovandoorn to change it (if possible - because we can't). Or revert back to using the registration_link in main.yml.

Until then, I think we're blocked... unless there's something I'm missing or there's another option.

[toshywoshy]

Sorry, I did not notice the s missing, that explains the previous messages and context.
As far as my knowledge of Pretix goes, you cannot change that, unless @yvovandoorn wants to go down into the database and change it manually hoping there are no other consequences to such a change.
We will need to patch that on our end, please wait till PR #14905 has been merged and then change the shortcode to the url override

Roger that. Thanks so much for the fix! 🤞

[gallimorej]

@toshywoshy I made the changes and tested the fix. Seems to work. Thanks for the support.
