Adding required fields to events

[marcom]

Hi people,
we are working with Events calendar & Woocommerce tickets but cannot figure out how to add required additional client input fields (radiobutton’s or dropdown options) on the event page. It’s possible to add the ticket to the cart but we need some extra information from the client to be stored like participantnumber and allocation of event points. These input fields do change per event!
We also need to export client information (from the accountpage) + input from above for each individual event.
I hope my explanation is clear and this question isn’t answered before.
Any help would be great, thanks alot!!

Hi marcom,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

I can try to help you out on this customization.

Although it is possible to add more fields to the event, could you also do it on the checkout page for WooCommerce?

They are already plugins out there such as the Checkout Manager:

Checkout Field Manager (Checkout Manager) for WooCommerce

That enables you to add extra fields.

I think then the information is stored in the WooCommerce Order and you could find a way export the orders then.

That way would involve the least amount of coding.

To modify WooCommerce Tickets to do this would involve a lot more customization, which we cannot support through the forum.

Let me know if you have any follow up questions and I will be happy to answer them.

Thanks

Hi Brian,
Thanks alot for your respons! We added some extra fields in the checkout and that works great. The only problem is that we cannot add additional client input on a specific course/event because each event is different and needs variable input.
You think this is possible with extra addons or upgrading to Event Calendar PRO?

Glad that helps some.

See my answers below:

I am afraid that is not possible with Pro.

You can use Pro to add additional fields to an Event, but only for the admin to add information, not to tie into the WooCommerce Checkout System.

It maybe possible with some customization, but I am not even sure where to begin with that one.

Since I haven’t heard back from you here, I’m going to go ahead and close out this thread. Feel free to start a new thread if you have further issues. Thanks! 🙂
