Installing the Abile Tickets extension should be an easy task. From the extension manager, go to “Import extensions from online repository” and enter the key “abile_tickets”. The extension will be registered as a frontend plugin. To insert the plugins inside a page, create a new content in the page and select the ticket plugin from the plugin section. Next is to define the page in which the tickets' categories will be stored. Set the “Startingpoint” to this page.
You may control the display of the extension. This is achieved by overwriting the default TSconfig properties, overwriting the stylesheet or unseting the current one, and providing your own templates. Exemples of how you can overwrite the Tsconfig are presented in the Reference page.
Templates
The extension makes use of the Smarty template engine. This is a geat way to seprate the logic from the display. Furthermore, it aims at helping you to develop your very own templates. In order to so so, you must configure the location of the directory were you will prepare the templates. This is achieve through the “templatesDir” property. In this directory, you must create to new directories called “templates” and “templates_c”. In the new “templates” directory, you must insert the three templates “editScreen.tpl”, “listScreen.tpl” and “viewScreen.tpl”. The “templates_c” directory is used by Smarty as a cache folder and must be writable. You'll find the default templates directory at the root of the Abile Tickets extension.
