Hi,

What would be the best way to pull a list of attendee names to give to our instructors for class check in?

The current downloadable .csv file has 30+ columns including all personal info. I could delete excess info but looking to see if you have a better idea

I would ideally like to email them a list of attendees the night before the event.

I know that I could list on a webpage using [ESPRESSO_EVENT_ATTENDEES event_id=id]

Is there a way to use the newsletter template to create an email that includes [ESPRESSO_EVENT_ATTENDEES event_id=id] and can only send to instructors

Right now we are looking for the best way to do this with out installing any extra add-ons. However if you have an add-on that does what I am looking for I would love to know which one.

Thank you!

Hi,

I have an idea on how to handle this. Create a site specific plugin (https://eventespresso.com/wiki/create-site-specific-plugin-wordpress-site/) that restricts the information in the Registrations CSV report.

Here is an example:

https://github.com/eventespresso/ee-code-snippet-library/blob/master/admin/registration_report_limit_columns_shown.php

Then you could activate the plugin, create the report, and then deactivate the site specific plugin.

Hi lee,

There is also another version of that snippet above that allows you to exclude specific fields rather than setting which fields are allowed.

That’s available here:

https://github.com/eventespresso/ee-code-snippet-library/blob/master/admin/tw_registration_report_exclude_fields.php

There is nothing wrong with the function Lorenzo provided but it means that if you want to include custom questions in the CSV you’ll need to update the snippet each time you add a question to set that new question to be allowed. The snippet I posted means you exclude the info you don’t wan’t to include and everything else that would normally be included in the report is.

It depends on what it is you want to include on the report as to which is best for you to use, but you now have both options 🙂
