Hi Dave,
Voucher code is actually ‘Phone Number – System Question’. In this field I give each client a unique voucher code.
I really can’t discourage this enough.
Repurposing system questions for something completely different than what they are intended for is going to come back and bite you at some point. EE expects that value to be a phone number, which is a value linked to an EE Contact, so not only are you using it for a different value but also for a registration-based question.
At some point down the line you are going to end up with a bunch of data that is being used in a completely different way than you expect it to be used and you will end up having to fix it with a custom data migration script.
Please reconsider this, Event Espresso allows you to add custom registration questions to be used for whatever you want so the above is unnecessary.
Go to Event Espresso -> Registration Form.
You’ll load the Questions admin by default.
At the top of the page is a ‘Add new question’ button, click that.
I’d start with Voucher if that’s how you want to collect the voucher details (Not using the promotions add-on to provide a discount with vouchers?). Create a ‘Voucher’ question, set the details of that question as needed then hit Save and Close.
Now hit the add new question button again, create another question for your URL field.
See the docs here: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/questions/
And: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/add-questions-event-espresso-question-groups/
So now you have 2 custom questions you can use but we need to add them to a question group.
—
Are those 2 questions going to be asked for every registration?
If so you could add them to the Personal Information question group but I’d use a custom group.
You’ll still be in the Questions admin, so click the Question Groups tab (shown above the question list table).
Create a new question group.
I’ll call mine ‘Additional Questions’, on the right of the section you’ll see a list of questions, select your Vouch and URL questions there to be included in the group.
Save.
Now edit the event in question, in the event editor you’ll see a section that allows you to set the question groups to be asked on that Event, like this:
https://monosnap.com/file/Nd7hqCRvlneiebawj2L0wgeE5WrmyZ
Select that ‘Additional Questions’ group on the event for at least the Primary Registrant (the top section).
Update the event and test a registration you should not see your 2 additional custom questions.
