Hi
I used your attendee import facility to import 1500 attendees to varing events and all worked great. I used the ‘Answers’ column when creating my csv and I noticed when looking at the data directly in the tables that my answers to the address questions were in the events_answer table but not in the address fields in the events_attendee table.

Will I mess anything up in terms of how EE functions if I use my own sql query to update the fields in events_attendee with the address info from events_answer?

Secondly I had some attendees that I added manually to a couple of events so when I go to my dashboard these come up under ‘my events’ as I am linked to them in events_member_rel. These attendees are actually in my users table in wordpress and I would like them to be able to see these events when they go to their ‘my events’. I have created records in events_member_rel to link the correct eventid, userid and attendeeid.

Will it then mess anything up if I delete the records in events_member_rel linking me, the administrator, with these events and attendees, or should I leave those records there as well? Thanks in advance.

You should be okay doing that. As long as you don’t change the id’s associated with those answers.

That should be fine.

Just be sure you create a back up of those records and tables before doing any work. That way if something goes wrong, you can restore that data.

I added a ticket in our issue tracker to build a solution that:

1) Does not record the user_id for the admin in events_member_rel when adding registrations via the admin.

2) Adds an input when Members is active that lets you enter a user ID when adding an attendee via the admin.
