That’s different from the LearnDash course enrolement and you will need the EE4 User Integration add-on for that functionality.

It all depends on how you want the integration to work. LearnDash built their integration add-on before our EE4 Users Integration add-on had been released with the intention that users would manage the sites users themselves. When they released the add-on it was expected that if the logged in user registered onto an event, that user account should be enroled onto the course assigned to the ticket, that is currently how the LearnDash Add-on works.

If you register onto an event and your registration is approved (be it paid or free) the LearnDash integration pulls the current user_id and assigns the course to that user.

If you want the registration to be assigned to the User account and/or you want to automatically fill the registration form with the logged in users details, you will need the EE4 Users integration add-on.

This provides a ‘My Events’ section within the user profile which shows the event registrations made with that user account, that looks something like this – http://take.ms/92XjR

With the LearnDash integration the user will also find the LearnDash course enrollment within their user profile (regardless of using the User integration add-on) – http://take.ms/e3AH9

Firstly I do apologize, there’s a couple of features I misunderstood within the LeashDash add-on. The course’s were being assigned to the user accounts on my site due to the course being setup as ‘open’ and not due to the users registering onto the event.

So I setup a new site to test this and found that the LearnDash Add-on does appear to be broken as it does not seem to assign a course to a users account.

On looking at their code I also found that the add-on will actually attempt to create a new user from the registrations details provided if the user doesn’t exists (based on the email address) it will create a new user.

However as mentioned it appears the add-on currently needs to be updated. We (Event Espresso) did not write the LearnDash Add-on so we can’t provide support for this kind of breakage. However on investigating this issue I found the cause and added a quick fix which seems to be working correctly on my test site.

This isn’t a permanent fix and LearnDash will need to update their add-on to work with the latest version of EE but you are welcome to try it if you prefer:

Download that add-on and use it in place of the current LearnDash EE integration add-on. (If you currently have it installed on the site you’ll need to remove it before installing the above)

Does it then work as you initially expected?

Hi there,

I tested the above and did find a problem when both EE4 Users and LearnDash were used. Basically LearnDash would create the user first which would prevent the EE4 User Integration Add-on from creating a user and assigning the registration to that user, the fix was simply to run the LearnDash user creation check later than EE4 Users did.

This then allows for all of the points from above:

a) If a not logged in user registers for the event, he will
1. Be created as a wordpress user
2. Get enrolled for the course at the same time.
b) If logged in user clicks “Register Now” button his name and e-mail fields are pre-filled in with his user info.

To work as expected.

Here is a copy of the LearnDash Add-on with the additional fix – http://take.ms/3F9su

I have also emailed LearnDash with details of the changes made and requested they include these changes within their add-on, if they find further issue with the LearnDash add-on they will need to work through those.

Issue. If you set Auto Create users with registrations to No in the EE User plugin, the user is still created since LD plugin creates it. I am not sure there is any technical way you can block it from your plugin but it might be an issue for some customers. Since I plan to require user login I am OK with it. Creating users upon registration without any check would lead sooner or later to a SPAM attack.

We will not add any add-on specific code to Event Espresso core, such as providing the option for Event Espresso to disable if the LearnDash add-on creates users on registration or not. This would need to be from within the LearnDash add-on so I would recommend issuing a ticket with them for this.

You can enable reCaptcha within Event Espresso which will help reduce spam registrations as the hook LearnDash is using will not be fired if the reCaptcha is incorrect.

The second thing is that when logged in user registers for the event it gets his names and e-mail shown in form text area which can be edited. I do not think that anyone ever might want to change his user profile upon registration to some event. They should go in Profile area. It would be a good idea to show name and e-mail as just text without form areas. It would look much nicer.

Can you provide further details on this please? Possibly include a screenshot to show where you are referring to.

Thank you, I understand what your are referring to now.

Currently with EE4 Members there is a one-to-one relationship between your Profile data and your EE ‘contact’ data. Inputting different details within the registration updates your Profile with that data and we provide the most compatible output to suit the most use cases (not only for the current functionality but future functionality that we have planned)

So having said that I will create a ticket to open up this feature for discussion with the possibility of it being included within a future version. This would basically be to ‘lock’ the registration fields to only allow you to use the details saved within your profile.
