Get guest Submissions Email and Name

[Miles Sebesta]

Hi there,
I was wondering if there is an easy way to require “guests” to submit their name and email address. I would also like to be able to capture their ip address if possible, but that isn’t as important. Basically, we don’t want them to be forced to login or create an account. We want to keep submitting the event a one page process, if possible.

Hi!

I don’t see why not.

Please see the Themer’s Guide for an overview of working with and customizing our plugins. In essence, you could test to see if they are logged in or not, add some extra fields within a template override to let them provide their name/email address or anything else you want to add, set them up as required fields, then add some code to store the resulting fields in the database.

I hope that helps to at least outline the basic process – and good luck 🙂

Hi! It’s been a while so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread. If we can help with anything else, though, please don’t hesitate to create new threads as needed. Thanks!
