I'm running an in person (OMG!) event soon. (Finally!) How do we check off people as present when checkin tickets? There's a route for ticket scanning, but I don't see any front end connected to it...or am I missing something?

Thanks for the help!

I'm not quite sure this exists still, there used to be a switch in /admin/conferences/osemdemo/registrations which got removed when @bear454 moved this to DataTables. See the discussion in #2189

Ah thanks, that's interesting. Though, that switch looked like it just toggled registration and didn't use the TicketScanning model. Seems to have been added in #1642 but I guess there was never a clear way to POST to that route?

I assumed this was meant to be used in conjunction with the QR codes on tickets somehow...For now, I think I'll just add a button to one of the ticket tables.

@cycomachead yeah, this is probably just GSoC'ed...

I see! 😰
Does anyone use the QR codes? I feel like there's some good bits here we could make actually usable by not using a POST and having a GET with the ticket token

Yeah it's probably a pretty small feature. Encode a "check in" URL and the GUID of the PhysicalTicket into the QR code PhysicalTicketsController. Would allow people at the entrance to scan the PhysicalTicket with a QR code app on their phone.
