Export the Attendee List with Registration Fields<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you need to export an attendee list that includes all registration fields<\/strong>, simply exporting from the Attendees menu<\/strong> under the Tickets section<\/strong> may not capture all the data. Instead, follow the steps below to ensure your export includes attendee responses to all custom fields. This method ensures that all registration field data<\/strong> is included in the export, providing a complete and detailed attendee list with relevant responses. It allows for an easy and structured way to retrieve attendee data while maintaining an accurate record of event registrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Go to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to Events > Events<\/strong>. Find the event for which you want to export the attendee data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Hover over the event and click on Attendees<\/strong>. This will take you to the list of attendees for that specific event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. On the Attendees<\/strong> page, look for the Export<\/strong> button. Clicking this will generate a CSV file that includes all attendee details along with their responses to any registration fields, such as additional questions added via ticket fieldsets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add Columns for Attendee Registration Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When we use additional fields<\/strong> for the Attendee Information Collection using the Event Tickets Plus<\/a><\/strong> plugin, sometimes we will want to see this information as a new column in the Attendees list for each event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an example for this guide, let’s add a “Company” text field to an event ticket:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The Event’s attendees will see this new field on their registration form and could provide this information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But when we see the Attendee List<\/a><\/strong>, we don’t see this information on the table:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Snippet<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Carefully insert the following PHP code at the end of the functions.php<\/em> theme file (ensure not to overwrite any existing code there) or by using the Code Snippets<\/a> plugin:<\/p>\n\n\n

\nadd_filter ( 'tribe_events_tickets_attendees_table_column', function ( $value, $item, $column ) {\n\tif ($column === 'Company') {\n\t\t $value = $item['company'];\n\t}\n\treturn $value;\n}, 100, 3 );\n\nadd_filter( 'manage_tribe_events_page_tickets-attendees_columns', function ( $column_headers ) { \n    \/\/create a  new set of column headers \n    $new_column_headers = []; \n\tforeach ( $column_headers as $column_key => $column_name ) { \n\t\t$new_column_headers[$column_key] = $column_name; \n\t\t\/\/Add order_date immediately after the ticket column \n\t\tif ( 'ticket' == $column_key ) { \n\t\t\t$new_column_headers['company'] = 'Company'; \n\t\t} \n\t}\n\treturn $new_column_headers;\n});\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
Don’t forget to replace the name of the field you are using (‘company’ in this example).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After saving these changes, we should see a new custom column on the Event Attendees list: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Display Security Code<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Carefully insert the following PHP code at the end of the functions.php<\/em> theme file (ensure not to overwrite any existing code there) or by using the Code Snippets<\/a> plugin:<\/p>\n\n\n
\nadd_filter ( 'tribe_events_tickets_attendees_csv_export_columns', function( $columns ) {\n\t$columns['security_code'] = 'Security Code';\n\treturn $columns;\n} );\n\nadd_filter ( 'tribe_events_tickets_attendees_table_column', function ( $value, $item, $column ) {\n\tif ($column === 'security_code') {\n\t\t $value = $item['security_code'];\n\t}\n\treturn $value;\n}, 100, 3 );\n\nadd_filter( 'manage_tribe_events_page_tickets-attendees_columns', function ( $column_headers ) { \n    \/\/create a  new set of column headers \n    $new_column_headers = []; \n\tforeach ( $column_headers as $column_key => $column_name ) { \n\t\t$new_column_headers[$column_key] = $column_name; \n\t\t\/\/Add order_date immediately after the ticket column \n\t\tif ( 'ticket' == $column_key ) { \n\t\t\t$new_column_headers['security_code'] = 'Security Code'; \n\t\t} \n\t}\n\treturn $new_column_headers;\n});\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
