Hi.
I would like to know if it is possible to add extra or additional fields in the booking form.
Currently you have name, email and phone with a comments box.
Can I add things like gender, address, DOB anything like that, if so how.
Thank you all.
Ben

Hi,

this is possible using custom booking forms however currently available to Events Manager Pro only. http://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/custom-booking-forms/

Is the customer booking form different than the Events Form [event_form]? If not, then if I purchase Pro version, I should be able to add custom fields?

I am not using any of the Booking features.

Pro adds custom fields for the booking form, not the event submission form. you can add custom fields to the events form using attributes, explained more here - http://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/event-attributes/

adding custom attributes will appear on the submission form too, although currently its limited to text/select fields

I would like to add a custom field in the ticket form reservation which is a selection box, eg. Zone (A, B, C).
I've followed the steps of the documentation: I enabled the attributes, I've added the custom placeholder #_ATT{Zone}{Zone A|Zone B|Zone C} but it's displayed as a text and not a selection box.
Could you please tell me what am I doing wrong?
Do I have to modify a .php file too?

hi @marilena6,

can you re-post this on a new thread since this is an old topic already? however you need to manually edit ticketform template to do this; try template file at events-manager/templates/forms/ticket-form.php
