collecting contact info for parties of 2 or more

[Suzanne]

Hello,

We have an RSVP form that collects full contact information from guests. We need to provide the option for someone to sign up on behalf of a group, but we don’t want them to have to enter the full contact information for every single group member. Example: A teacher signing up on behalf of a class of 20 students should not have to enter info for each individual student. Is there a work around, or some way to only collect the contact info from the person signing up? The only way I can think of is to create multiple rsvp forms for each event, but I worry this will cause confusion, so if there is a more elegant solution I would love to hear it.

Thanks!

Hi Suzanne,

Thanks for your great question!

There is no built in way to do this. What you can do however is hide all the attendee fields starting from the second one and make the fields not-required, so that you don’t get an error.

Here is a css snippet that will hide all attendee info request fields, except for the first one.

.tribe-event-tickets-plus-meta-attendee:nth-child(n+2) {
display: none;
}

Let me know if this does the trick for you.

Cheers,
Andras

That works great. It would still be nice to make fields required so hoping for an update in the future, but this does the trick for now.

Thanks!
