It it possible (or will it be) to register a user for one or more events through their “contact” (Edit contact page) in EE4? Some of our users sign up for multiple events at one time and doing it through their contact page would make it easier on our staff, rather than having to register them on each event page manually.
This is the first time someone has requested this, so it’s not on our development radar. Are you familiar with the Manual Registration process via the WP Admin?
If we were to build this features, we would probably build it as a add-on because it’s not needed by everyone. It would probably work by: Starting from the Contact Details page your staff would: 1) Select an Event, 2) Select a ticket(s), 3) Either go directly to the transaction page where you can make a manual payment OR finish the registration via the manual registration process already in place.
Sorry for not getting back to you – yes, what you described would make since. This company is a travel agency that does bus tours. They have a fair amount of guests that register online, but still a majority come into their office and register in person.
For these “in person” registers, the staff manually goes into the back end and registers the customer for the event. However, some customers (actually, quite a few) register for multiple tours (one registered for 20 last week!) – so that’s 20 times the staff has to register the person for each event, and its just a lot of repeat work.
What they are looking for is a way to enter in the customer once, and then be able from the customer area (“Contact”) to register for different events.
If we can do this through a custom plugin – that’s fine, just let me know how to proceed.
