Copy information from logged in users to booking

  • If a user is NOT logged in, he fills in his phone number on the booking form.

    When a use IS logged in, this information is already available from the user profile but is not copied into the booking.

    Is there a smart way to make this happen?

  • Are you using No-User Booking Mode?

    if you enable “No-User Booking Mode” it means that EM will not create wp user account and users doesn’t need to login to do bookings; you may want to disable this if you allow users to login before bookings

    Maybe I did not explain clearly what the problem is.

    For a guest user to make a reservation he has to fill in his name, e-mailaddress and phone number. Excellent, no problem.

    When a member is logged in, he only clicks a button and does not have to fill in anything. So far so good.

    Then, from the backend, when I look at the bookings, for member-tickets only name and e-mailaddress is listed. The field phone number is still empty. And that is my problem: how to get the members phone number in the booking?

    What field ID does your phone number field have?

    We use the WP Members-plugin, with several fields in the user records. Relevant Meta Keys are phone1 and mobiel_telefoonnummer.

    It would be really great if I could somehow tell Event Manager to copy the content of both these fields (or even more fields) to the reservation.

    Can this be done with the Pro version of your plugin?

    This may require custom coding.

    That said, if WP Members uses the standard WordPress profile to store data, adding the dbem_ prefix to field IDs should make them shareable.

    Thank you for your answer!

    I think WP Members does use the standard WordPress user profile to store data, so that opens possibilities.

    I added a field dbem_contact and gave that a value for my own account. I then did a booking, but the (contents of that) field did not appear in the booking table.

    I am doing something wrong, I guess.

    Should I somewhere write #_CONTACTMETA{dbem_contact} in the settings? And could I also use, for example, #_CONTACTMETA{mobiel_telefoonnummer} ?

    I think the first thing to do is double-check the field ID that’s being used by WP Members,
