I have a select number of tour guides. I’d like to have the option to designate which tour guide will be used for each tour/event.  It there a way to do this other then adding to the text in the description?

Hi Lonnie,

You can use the Staff feature, which needs to be turned on (General Settings, “Use the Staff Manager?” = Yes).

After you have created some staff members, you can allocate them to the events via the event editor, its on the right hand side, just some tick boxes.

To display the details you can use the following shortcodes in your event descriptions/posts/pages/etc- https://eventespresso.com/wiki/shortcodes-template-variables/#staff

Thank you. So do I have to enter the shortcode each time I want it to display? Seems easier to just type it in the description.

Yes the shortcode needs to be added to the event description, and generally it is shorter than adding all the data each time.

If you dont mind editing the php templates, you can add it once and it will automatically show on the events.

Add the following to the event_registration_display.php file

<?php echo do_shortcode('[ESPRESSO_STAFF event_id="' . $event_id .'"]'); ?>

This will display the details of every staff member attached to the event automatically. Of course you will need to tweak the code/CSS to make it all look how you want it to.
