Hi Elaine,

In most cases, a change like this isn’t something you find, it’s something you can filter with a custom function like this:

function my_replace_attendee_label($content)
{
$content = str_replace( 'Attendee 1', 'Contact point/Attendee 1', $content );
return $content;
}
add_filter('the_content','my_replace_attendee_label', 11 );

You’ll note that in the above example, the string change doesn’t replace the label, it adds to it. I recommend adding in this case because the system will still count the contact point information as an attendee regardless of what the label.

What you can do in this case though, is add the question group for the Contact person to the Primary attendee form only. The result will be a shared form section for both the primary attendee and the contact point.

Hi Elaine,

I really don’t have enough information to answer your last question, because I don’t know how you’re setting things up. My recommendation about capturing the contact info along with the primary attendee’s info is based on the reality that each form section in Event Espresso is for an attendee, and changing the label doesn’t remove a registration from the transaction.

Right, so the thing to do here, since Event Espresso currently doesn’t have a Point of Contact feature, is set the Point of Contact question group to only appear with the Primary Registrant’s questions. This way the first form group that’s displayed will be the only part of the form with questions for the Point of Contact.

Ahh I see, sorry I misunderstood. Changing the label would be fine in that case.
