I am using the solution provided here and it works great: https://eventespresso.com/topic/custom-registration-id-3/#post-286984
I would like to be able to identify and add the registered Event’s Category or Slug to this custom code as well. So it would generate something like: [YEAR]-[CATEGORY]-001

Hi there,
To get the category, you need to know the Event ID and within that code you can get that from the ticket itself:
$event_id = $ticket->get_event_ID();
From there you can use start terms:
$event_categories = get_the_terms($event->ID(), 'espresso_event_categories');
$first_term = array_pop($event_categories);
if ( $first_term instanceof EE_Term ) {
$category_name = $category->name();
}
Or you use our model system like this:
$event = $ticket->get_related_event();
if ( $event instanceof EE_Event ) {
$category = $event->first_event_category();
if ( $category instanceof EE_Term ) {
$category_name = $category->name();
}
}
That gives you the category name within $category_name to do whatever you prefer to use it for 🙂
If you haven’t done so already, I recommend reading the docs on our model system here:
https://github.com/eventespresso/event-espresso-core/tree/master/docs/G–Model-System
Using the models to pull in the data you need makes a lot of takes within EE much easier.
