I use EE4 .csv event registration data to populate attendee name badges. Is there a way to include individual QR codes in the .csv event registration data, so that an attendee’s QR code can be printed on a name badge?

Hi there,

You can’t include the generated QR within the CSV as the QR’s are generated within the browser using JS, however you can include the details used within the CSV into the CSV. It looks like Avery will generate QR’s for you so as long as you have the value you can created the QR.

The QR code is generated using the REG_url_link value, you can include that within the CSV using this:

Add that to your themes functions.php file or create a Custom Functions Plugin

Tony, I’m going back to our June correspondence regarding changing the ticket template to incorporate a name badge. Would that be easier than what you suggest to do with Avery template?

Unfortunately, I can’t really say if that’s easier or not.

To create a name badge within the ticket template you would need to create a HTML template that you could use for both a ticket and name badge in one, it depends if you are comfortable doing that or prefer using Avery. (I’ve not used Avery, I did a search to find details for the above)

The snippet above adds all of the details needed to generate a QR code within the CSV, if Avery can generate a CSV using one of the fields within the CSV (which it appears to be able to do) it should be relatively straight forward with the above.
