I would like to ask for address information from the participant when they first register for an account on the site. Once they’ve done that, the system should save their address and they shouldn’t have to put it in ever again, unless they want to update it. Can that be done?
That will pull the users address questions and autofill the fields for them, if the user wants to then update the information they can change those details and continue with the registration. The next registration created will use the new details.
You can place the snippet within your child themes functions.php file, or create a Custom Functions Plugin (preferred method).
Additionally, can this information be asked for on the initial registration for the site instead of the registration associated with the event?
That’s not something EE supports so is not something we can provide with a snippet, you would need the help of a developer and some custom development for EE to recognize the values and save them within the EE contact.
If you are not currently working with a developer we have a list of some who are familiar with Event Espresso here:
