Saving attendee information in session

[David]

I’m trying to capture attendee form data entered when buying a ticket so that I can store it in session and present it to the customer as an option to fill in the form with previously saved data.

However, I can’t actually find the relevant places or hooks to do that.

Can anyone assist with finding the appropriate place to capture data?

Hi David,

Thanks for going Pro and welcome to the forums!

I can try to help out here, but I am limited in supporting customizations.

Per our terms and conditions we support features of the plugins and although we try to help get you started on customizations for the most part you are going to have to take it on to complete.

I’m not sure whether you can capture the data using a hook. More likely you will need to look into capturing the data on a form submit and then saving it to a session variable.

If you need some expert help, I can recommend you some freelancers who are not affiliated with us and I’m sure they would be happy to help out.

Let me know if this gets you started.

Cheers,
Andras

That was one of my thoughts – capturing the data post-submission by potentially overwriting the code that currently does it. However, I can’t find the code that currently handles the form submission data. This might just be me being an idiot, but any pointers at where that code is handled would be helpful.

As a developer, I don’t have a problem sorting out my own customisations, and this project is currently full of custom rewrites of TEC functions as it’s using 4 of them at the moment, but I’m struggling to find where the plugin handles the form submissions for this point.

And I cracked it. Some creative hacking involved, but it is all working.

Thanks for the help, got me pointed in the right direction.
