How To Sign Up Multiple People At Once With Details For Each Person

[Anonymous]

I just came across this plugin, and so far I am impressed. I will start by saying that I am not an advanced web designer or programmer, but I can get things done normally with some effort and research.

I have tried a bunch of searches, and haven’t found this answer yet, so I apologize in advance if I didn’t think of the correct search terms.

Here is what I am wondering if it is easily possible to do this.

I am trying to have people sign up for a class of a size of 32 people. For each student, I need to get the following info:

Name

Email

Phone

Experience

And I would like to be able to have one person sign up multiple people. It is OK if 1 person signs up all 32 people. But the trick is that I need the information for each attendee, not just the person signing everyone up. For example, I need to know how many beginners are in a class. So if the person filling out the table says they have 10 yrs experience, but is signing up 10 other people with various experience, I need to know that.

I’m not having a problem for me to make a form to get this info from one person.

At first I thought I could make a very long form that allow entry for all data

name1

email1

phone1

experience1

name2

email2

phone2

experience2

.

.

.

name32

email32

phone32

experience32

But first of all that wouldn’t look very good. Second, it would put the info of the additional people out it more columns such as

name1,email1,phone1,experience1,name2,email2,phone2,experience2,…name32,email32,phone32,experience32

Where are I really want to have that addiotnal column info into a row for each person in my list.

What I would like to be able to do it to have someone select _SEATS from the dropdown, and have the appropriate number of people signs up to show up based upon that number

Someone suggested me offline, that I just don’t allow multiple signups, and this problem goes away. The problem with that is that I expect the class to fill quickly. So if a person wanted their whole department to sign up for the class ONLY IF EVERYONE can participate, I would hate to get 31 of 32 people signed up, then having someone take the last spot before you could finish the 32nd person.

Sorry for the rambling question here, and thanks in advance for your answers

One person entering info for e.g. 30 others will take more time than those 30 entering it themselves.

Anyway, I say what you want, but it is not possible with EME like that.

What I suggest: let one person reserve as many spaces as they want, and ask in a text field for the info of all the attendees, or just create some form fields where you ask e.g. “how many of the people you reserved for have more than x year experience” and such, and in another field ask all the names, etc …
