Event Registration Page – Know which event is being registered

Hello,

I had a few questions regarding the checkout process for EE4 premium. I was wondering how the registration page knows which event is being registered for? Is there a certain string in the url or the form somewhere that notifies the database where to put the entry?

Thanks for the help!

That data is tracked in the user’s browser session, kinda like a shopping cart. You can learn more about sessions here:

Can I pass some custom variables through the session to the registration page?

also, is there a way to go from the events listing page straight to a particular event’s registration page?

You could do something similar to what Event Espresso does, where it takes the session ID and uses it as a key, and stores the data in the WordPress Transient API.

also, is there a way to go from the events listing page straight to a particular event’s registration page?

You can set the “Show Ticket Selector in Events Listing” Setting to Yes in Event Espresso > Events > Templates. This way, the registrant will be able to go from the events listing page straight to the single page checkout page.
