Update "shop closed" text #817

Open melinath opened 8 years ago

melinath commented 8 years ago

From a user:

Is there any way to change the message dancers see when tickets are no longer available online? The message suggests that tickets are sold out, when there are actually still tickets available - it is just that they are no longer available online and must be purchased at the door.

It may be enough to just tweak the language? Long term we might also want to make that text editable. Not sure.

Hm, they make a good point. I assume the text referred to is this https://github.com/littleweaver/django-brambling/blob/master/brambling/views/orders.py#L350 ?

Racking my brain to think of a concise wording that says "you can't buy this" while leaving open the possibility that you could buy it somewhere else. "Not available on Dancerfly"?

Maybe this person's problem could also be fixed by also renaming the item ("Online Preorder" or something).

I've often thought we should have a "Shop instructions" field that would be free text to display right above the shop items. Especially since we don't provide any validation on carts like, "Each attendee must purchase one meal plan" or even "Each attendee must have one dance pass", it makes sense to let organizers explain the purchase process for their event. This sort of thing could maybe be included in a field like that. "If there are no tickets still available below, there will be tickets available at the door!"
