    Is it possible to add extra fields to the booking form to capture extra information from a registrant, stuff like ‘vegetarian’ or ‘no alcoholic beverages’

    if this function is not standard, in which files should I change the code for the form and in which file is the form captured for saving to the database?

    Extra fields are on the todo-list. The file to change would be eme_rsvp.php (and also events-manager.php) but I don’t recommend changing the source code, it would mess up with updates afterwards.

    Thanks for your fast reply,

    if you like to share your ideas how to implement it I could add the code and give it back to you for further review and incorporation into a next version.

    I’ve looked at David Fleming’s event registration plugin (http://edgetechweb.com/)

    This plugin has the ability to define extra (required or optional) questions for an event. I’m thinking to implement the feature along that same line.

    Well, if I can help in any way …

    I was thinking in 2 directions:

    – either a list of fields defined in general (not per event), and people can click on the ones they want to use for their RSVP form per event (and wether or not it is required)

    – or some kind of RSVP template form, so you define a number of fields per template

    And then also: multiple choice, dropdown, plain textbox as possibilities per extra question.

    Maybe the extra questions should also be in a new (seperate) mysql table.

    Hey there,

    I was wondering when this would be brought into action?

    On my Events page I need to add two custom fields with a drop down menu next to each.

    One for Members and one for Guests, then next to them a drop down for each so they can select the number of people.

    Very similar to the ‘Seats’ that is already there.

    Unfortunately I haven’t heard back from VidJa yet, so I need to implement this myself. It will happen (but not in the next release, which is around the corner)

    Similar request here.. Changing PHP and CSS is just a little too much for a non-software engineer.

    I very much like the plugin though. hope to see this feature soon.

    Thx.

    I second that motion. This plugin rocks. It has been a life save and a time saver once we started using it. We use it for Groupon’s so this would help to allow the user to put their code in the booking form, it would be nice to enable or disable different booking forms based for the event category, but this would be a bonus, my real need now is to put it in the booking form, since I know people won’t read the text asking them to put their code in the comments box.

    This feature is worth a few cups of coffee for me. I have donated in the past and will again in the future as more of these types of features get added.

    I would also like to see this feature added. For my purposes, the option to customize my own fields would be more valuable, rather than having a list of fields to choose from.

    Though, as long as there were two or three different “Blank Title” fields that just stored to a varchar column, I’d be very happy with it.

    Any news on this? Would be a great additional feature – along with being able to edit existing fields… like “seats” to “places” for example.

    Great plugin!

    I have a solution in mind, but the coding will take some time. It’s the next thing on the agenda, but it won’t be a Christmas present 🙂

    Hey great!! I’ll just have to contain my disappointment on Christmas morning and wait patiently… thanks for all the work – I’ll definitely donate when this is done as my client will be very happy!

    Well, the extra fields are a late 2012 Christmas present 🙂 Not yet released, but it is working.

    I need to create some doc for it first though.
