Multiple Registration Forms on One Site?

Hi,

Quick question: Is it possible to have multiple registration forms on one site, for example, having one registration form for adults on one page and another form for seniors on another?

Please advise.

Thanks.

Let me clarify. The separate adult and senior forms is because each registration form has its own/different early registration discount. If not, I would have both options on one registration form. Please advise.

Hi Ronald,

Do you means two events on one page? It can be done by using shortcodes, either the Single Event shortcode https://eventespresso.com/wiki/shortcodes-template-variables/#single-events or you could use the Espresso Reg Page short code https://eventespresso.com/wiki/shortcodes-template-variables/#reg-page or even the Espresso Reg Form shortcode https://eventespresso.com/wiki/shortcodes-template-variables/#reg-page

Hey, Dean.

Two to four events on 2-4 separate pages. Is that possible?

Thanks.

Yes, it just means you need to create the events, then create the pages and use the appropriate shortcode X number of times per page.

There isn’t a way to dynamically do it, unless you look at using the EVENT_LIST shortcode with its category parameter, that actually might be easier. Then you add a specific category to each event (e.g. Adult, Child, etc) and then that shortcode to a page, and it will list all events on that page, BUT it will show them as events not just the registration forms.

I hope that helps.

Hey Dean:

Ok, on the dev site I put three different test events on three different pages (just for the sake of testing) and hid the main registration page from the navigation and I got three registration description/forms on each page. I really want them to display as events with a seat count and not just registration forms. You mentioned this in your previous post but I didn’t get it.

Can you please look at the dev site and let me know the correct code to paste into those three pages to have them display as events?

[CATEGORY_NAME event_id=1] ?

Thanks, again.

Dean, I think I got it.

First, I got rid of the Single Event code that I had on each page, which showed the description and reg. form upon loading of the page. Then I used the event category code below, which a category was created and assigned to either Test Event 1, 2 or 3.

[EVENT_LIST event_category_id=your_category_identifier]

I put one code on each page and it showed a single event listing on its own page. Yes! That’s what I wanted and probably what you were directing me to do.

However, when I click on the actual “Register” button, it takes me to the reg. form via the hidden Main Menu registration page, which is fine, I think.

Please check out the dev site and let me know if I’m on the right track.

Thank you.

That’s expected behavior because the registrations are processed on the registration page.

I understand. Awesome!

So the shortcode I used to put an event on each of those separate pages divided by category is correct?

Thanks for the confirmation.

What’s the shortcode you used?

[EVENT_LIST event_category_id=your_category_identifier]
