Lifting Email Address From Frontend Submit

It is not an email address, it is “Contact E-mail body”: the text that will be sent to the contact person if someone subscribes (for rsvp purposes). It is just an example in fact … if you don’t need it: remove it (and since at least 10 months it is a textarea field btw …).

Right ok, I have RSVP turned off. Makes sense!

Where abouts would I find the ability to edit the contact form? I’ve searched through the EME Frontend Submit settings and I’m unable to find it.

Am I able to add in a custom field for e-mail address in that case?

Thank you for your help!

First work your way through EME itself, then read the Frontend Submit faq section where it is explained what can all be used in the frontend.

Ok, I’ve worked my way through the documentation and managed to edit the template to include this field.
I am really stuck on how to get this to display in the ‘Edit Event’ section after it has been submitted. I am not sure I am understanding the documentation correctly ??

If you want to edit a custom field, you first need to make sure the event is using it in some way. Read up on EME custom attributes here:
https://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/category/documentation/8-custom-attributes/

I’ve read that but I’m unsure how to link that attribute to the field on the form. Is it that the key is the name of the defined attribute in the form.php file? So event_contact_email or similar?

Hi, have I got this right?

See the FAQ for asking for event attributes via the frontend:

?How about extra attributes?
Well, in fact it is easier than thought. Just by using
EMEFS::attribute(‘phone2’)
in the form template, the attribute phone2 is available and can be used in an event template via #_ATT{phone2}
By default, the formtype for attributes is textarea, if you want a plain text field, use e.g.:
EMEFS::attribute(‘phone2′,’text’)

As mentioned, I don’t understand your FAQ properly. Copy and pasting the same passage I’ve told you I have read isn’t going to help me understand it…

Never mind I will try another platform or see if someone else can help.

Well, you said you managed to get your attribute the way you wanted in EME, and then I pointed out that in the frontend submit form you just need to add something like
EMEFS::attribute(‘phone2’) to your template. Based on your question and info, that’s what you need.
I’m sorry if that’s not clear to you, but if you don’t understand how/where to change the frontend submit template file then I can only suggest you start reading the EMEFS doc from the beginning.
I hope you find a plugin that helps you better than mine then (and in retrospect: the frontend submit plugin wasn’t even mine, someone else made it originally and I’m now kind of forced to keep it alive).
