Hi
I am using the premium version of EE – Version 3.1.25.P
In this version there a way to shorten the long registration ID code that the attendee will receive? How can I get the Reg ID to be a shorter number?
Thanks
K.

You can create a custom filter (filter_hook_espresso_registration_id) to create a unique id.
Here is an example of what is there now:
//Build the registration id
function espresso_build_registration_id($event_id){
return uniqid($event_id . '-');
}
//Registration id filter
add_filter('filter_hook_espresso_registration_id', 'espresso_build_registration_id', 10, 1);

Thanks for that… I am not too familiar with creating custom filters.
I got your example but what part do I replace? Where would I put that if I want it to start at “100” for example.
Thanks for your help…

So you want the registration id to start with “100”?
Eg. 100-3892304 ?

Hi Seth
Yes anything shorter than what it currently is. I am back to using the Lite version at the moment but if the premium version allows this I will keep it. How do I create a filter for that?
Thanks
K.

If the registration id is too short, it could cause problems because then it will not be absolutely unique. And also make it easier for hackers to guess the registration ids and possibly steal information about your attendees etc.
If you need to use a shorter number, I would recommend using the attendee id field instead.

Hi Seth
Thanks for getting back to me… So If I use the attendee ID field? is there a shortcode for this that could be used in the confirmation email? I could not find the shortcode for it.
Thanks agian.
