Pass submitted info from Registration Shortcode Form to Registration Form

Hi, we would like to use the registration shortcode to display the registration form on our home page. Which works great. We are using the group registration option but do not want the user to add more registrants using the add more attendees toggle function on the home page. This is strictly a usability issue.

See here:

If you toggle the more attendee option it pushes the form down and creates a bunch of negative space. This works well on the registration page but not using the registration shortcode form.

What we would like to do is disable the attendee toggle function and let the user fill out their first, last and email address and then when they hit submit it directs them to the registration page with their first, last and email address filled in. Then from there if they want to register for others in there group they can use the attendee toggle function to add their personal information.

Any suggestions on how we can achieve this functionality?

Hello Rebekah,

Using that shortcode you are literally transplanting the registration form to the front page, as such as soon as submit is clicked it goes through its normal process.

There is no way to change that without changing core code and the way the plugin works.

You might be able to do something with a form system like Gravity Forms and a modified registration page template, in that you send the data from the form over to that registration page and add it into some hidden form inputs and then using jQuery pull that data and enter it into the actual registration form.
