Before purchasing, I asked if it was possible to add custom data to an event and have that data included with the Registrations CSV Report and received a positive answer.
After purchasing I find out that I need to use a third-party plugin “Advanced Custom Fields” to display the additional data.
This extra data is not being added to the CSV Report. How do I go about adding the ACF fields to the Event Registrations CSV Report?
or is there another way in doing this?

Hi David,
Are you trying to add custom fields to registration or to the event itself?
What details are you adding using ACF?

I am trying to add the custom fields to the Event itself.
They are all text fields.
1) Hours
2) Class#
3) Room Name
I have not yet tested it, but I would also need this for user registration for events.
I was also told that the event title and instructor information would be exported. I do not see this information in the export file.

Hi David,
I misunderstood you when you were describing custom information. I thought that you were asking if its possible to collect custom questions through Event Espresso during registration checkout. This is available in the core plugin and that information would then be available through the registrations CSV report.
You can follow up with us here and we can create a refund for your support license purchase:

Thanks

I see, that is a bit disappointing. Thank you for all of your help.
Any chance this might be a future addition?

Hi David,
Can you provide an example of what you would like to achieve?
The registration form can include custom questions (which will be exported to the CSV) and there may be another way to achieve something similar to what you need.
If you can provide a breakdown I’ll see if there is a workaround.

When I export a CSV Report for a event; I need the Event Title and instructor included in the report, in addition to some custom fields. The custom fields, I need to show on the single event page and in the CSV Report as well. Custom fields would be: “Hours, Room#, Class#, Hall”. All of which would be text fields.

Are you using the EE4 People Add-on for the instructors or are they just additional event_meta values?

Originally I tried using a event_meta value, after finding out that didn’t work I did try the people add-on and still did not see it added in the export file.
The last four “Hours, Room, Class, and Hall” are very important.

Basically, I would like to see the functionality of being able to add extra information to event pages with the ability to export that information in a csv file.
Maybe metaboxes with the ability to change the name of the title?

Hi David,
It turns out there are some existing filter hooks that allow for what you’re what you’re looking to do with some minimal PHP programming.
So for example, you input the custom fields into the built in WordPress Custom Fields Metabox (or optionally the Advanced Custom Fields for prettier metaboxes).
Then, you add the custom field values to display on your registration CSV report using the FHEE__EE_Export__report_registrations__reg_csv_array filter hook. Here’s an example that shows how to add the event’s room number to the CSV report using this hook:
https://gist.github.com/joshfeck/4a7f576ea04a7d43be05
Please let me know if you have any further questions about how to use that or other hooks in Event Espresso.
