Hello,
I’m trying to pre-fill a custom question on the registration page so that when a modified URL is posted, the content is displayed in the custom question.
Here is what I tried so far:
For example, we have added a new field, which EE3 assigns the name “TEXT_12”. When we tried to add “&TEXT_12=test” (no quotes) the registration page “domain.com/event-registration/?ee=5&TEXT_12=test”, nothing happened.
We tested this with other variables to such as appending “&fname=test”.
We did some research and found that WordPress does not allow for this sort of thing.. It has to be a registered query…. so I’m looking to register the query with get_query_var( ‘somevar’ );
sooo. I found in the registration_page_display.php a function called event_espresso_add_question_groups(..)… I feel like I’m getting warm. I found from another link in the forum that led me to find “insert_question.php” in /event-espresso/includes/admin-files/form-builder/questions/
So I believe that I need to edit / add something to this file to complete the task.
Again, I’m just trying to pre-fill a custom question on the registration page so that when a modified URL is posted, the content is displayed in the custom question.
Looking forward to your response.
Sincerely,
Gary Formisano

Hi,
Personally, I would go back to adding the &TEXT_12=test and use some jQuery.
A quick Google led me to this page http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19491336/get-url-parameter-jquery, which allowed me to add this jQuery to the bottom of the registration_page_display.php template:

In the long run it will be easier to maintain this as it doesn’t involve messing with core files.

Hi Dean,
Thanks for your suggestion! I spent a few hours perfecting the jQuery and now it works exactly how I needed.
Thanks again Dean!
