Thanks so much. That makes perfect sense. I’ve not got it working yet but, now I understand the issue I don’t think it’ll take long.
Hi Geoff,
Thanks for your reply. Sorry not to be clear enough. First, attendee details and why we’ve chosen Gravity forms instead:
We’re asking for quite a lot of information on each attendee, plus there could be quite a few attendees being added by one person so, to ask for all that information on the initial order is going to put quite a few people off their initial purchase. An ideal solution to these would require quite a complext form builder and the ability to hide less important fields on initial ordering of tickets.
Also, if you change the quantity in the checkout I’m assuming you could miss out the attendee details for any further tickets ordered (I haven’t checked this so, sorry i’f I’m presuming wrong).
What we’re getting by using Gravity forms is a paginated form that breaks the sections up into a much more palatable user experience. We can also export the data very easily by date range and other filters which will help planning and distributing group numbers before courses are run. The ability for an admin to edit the attendee info is also a big benefit of using gravity forms.I’ve managed to figure out how to get most of the details within the order items loop (as I’m create a custom link that partially fills in the user data for each item ordered within the gravity form), The only info I’m missing is the person that made the order’s email (I didn’t mention needing that in the first post). Any clues as to how you’d get that?
Yes, not meaning there’s a complete disconnect, or to take anything away from your knitting of two very complex systems together! Just that I was struggling to find data from both sources. I’ve had a dig around and I’ve been able to figure it out now. I was just unclear on where it all was when I first came to it.
I found the code you linked to and that went a long way to getting me up and running with the solution I needed. Thanks, it would have helped a lot if I hadn’t already font it.
