Conditional Use of BOOKINGFORMCUSTOM in Reply Email

    Hi all,

    as you can use different forms for different events, I create a form for a single person for an event entry end a form for a person with accompanying persons. Let’s call a field for one of those: #_BOOKINGFORMCUSTOM{accomp}

    Within the reply Email for registration I put:
    Name of further person: #_BOOKINGFORMCUSTOM{accomp}

    When I use the single person form, the Email will contain in plain words: #_BOOKINGFORMCUSTOM{accomp} instead of the name.

    Do you have an idea how to overcome this. Is it possible to create a condition by implementing a function?

    Thanks
    Alex

    Hi Alex,

    Those placeholders only work with the Pro version of the plugin. Do have EM Pro activated?

    Hi,

    yes I am using the PRO Version. The custom fields are already in use.

    But I have no idea how to implement selective function to find out which fields are used for which form, to send a confirmation mail to the client which only contains those fields which are also used in the respective form.

    Let me detail my question:

    Form 1 is holding fields
    Name and Phone for example

    Form 2 is holding fields
    Name and Phone and Accompanying for example

    If i use Form 1 now, then I would like to reply to the client only with the information about the two fields. If I reply to Form 2 then the client shall receive information from the three fields. If I use the #_BOOKINGFORMCUSTOM{accomp} within the Mail settings in the dashboard of the Events Manager, and I use Form 1, then I get an entry in the Email which is #_BOOKINGFORMCUSTOM{….} at the place for the second person when Form 2 is used.

    I hope this makes my question more clear.

    Kind Regards

    hmm, you might need to use additional coding to do this since this isn’t available out of the box.

    please see the series of tutorial here http://wp-events-plugin.com/tutorials/
