We have a client that needs to sell Recreational Vehicles parking passes for a campground online using Paypal standard. RSEvents seemed to be the ticket, and is about 99% there!

However, to capture the criteria needed (Car tag, make/model, number of people in party, extra cars with the RV (at a surcharge per vehicle) we needed to use RSForms. So, we brought that in.

The problem that we are having is this: When we use the RSForms email response form, it sends the parking pass before the transaction with PayPal is completed. However, the parking pass has everything we need on it- sequential parking number generated through RSForms, vehicle make/model, etc...plus a nice graphic.

So....we copy the code to RSEvents Activation email; seems that is the place that will return the PayPal transaction successful notification + the coveted parking pass.

But....the RSEvent will not read the {RSEventFirstName} values, rather is printing {RSEventFirstName} itself.

So....this is what I am hoping to do:

Create a way to sell printable tickets that are matched to a numerical list, and send along the parking pass after the customer pays and the transaction is OKd by PayPal.

The ticket would be good to have an alphanumerical prefix- or -suffix for recordkeeping purposes on our end.


Thanks for all your hard work. I try to purchase single licenses when the budget allows.
