Hi. A bit of background.

My booking system sells places on junior sports programmes. The primary contact will be the parents name, however the children are registered later in the booking form (unlimited different children)

In the confirmation of registration I want the childrens names to be listed rather then the parents name. Which shortcode gets round this?

You can check out my booking form on this page.

Any advice will be really appreciated.

Thanks, Marc

Hi Marc,

You can use the [ANSWER_*] short code to print out the names of the children on the messages. Here’s the short code’s description from the short code documentation:

This is a special dynamic shortcode. Right after the “*”, add the exact text of a existing question, and if there is an answer for that question for this registrant, that will take the place of this shortcode.

You can get information about the other shortcodes that can be used in the message templates by clicking on the Help tab that appears on the upper right corner of the page where you edit the message templates, then you click on the Message Shortcodes link.

Thanks Josh.

ANother question. Sometimes their will be only one child (attendee) but on other occasions will be two, three or more. How do I alter the short code so that it will list all of them?

The message template should automatically loop through all of the registrations, so you shouldn’t need to alter anything. Instead, you make sure you put the [ANSWER_*] short code in the template’s [ATTENDEE_LIST] section. You’ll also need to make sure the [ATTENDEE_LIST] short code is within the Main Content section of the template.
