Hi there,

we would like to add Transaction ID to Thank you page. What is the best method to do that?

Depends on where exactly you want to output the ID, can you add more details?

There used to be transaction details at thank you page, but I cannot see them there any more.

I checked and can confirm the table is no longer loading on the thank you page, I’ve created a ticket for our developers to investigate this further so we can bring that back.

Transaction ID can be wherever

Well, not really. It can load in various different places on the page using hooks/template, for example, if it outputs the ID above the callout box at the top (the section that shows the button to download their confirmation order) to me it would look odd, but you may well prefer it there.

The problem with ‘wherever’ is it means we go through various hooks/sections/templates/methods to find a section that you prefer as opposed to finding a section you want the output to show and then finishing a suitable method for that section (which is why the ‘best’ method depends on the location).

the best place would be in Transaction details that are missing at the moment.

That section will load once again on the next version of Event Espresso, within that table there’s this hook:

AHEE__thank_you_page_transaction_details_template__after_transaction_table_row

Which allows you to add another row to the table which could easily include the Transaction ID if preferred.

In general, it would be nice to provide mechanism for offline payment details on this Thank you page. In Payment Instructions we provide information about bank account No, general due date, etc., but we also need to provide payment reference number that is Transaction ID.

Theres already a section for adding static details when using an offline payment method.

For example with Invoice:

Event Espresso -> Payment methods -> Invoice -> Confirmation Text

That section is shown on the thank you page – https://monosnap.com/file/tpTxcieO6zNUQ7NiyqNAYcOfObVSKw

However to display dynamic content, such as the Transaction ID, in that section, you’ll need to take over the template shown there and add some PHP to pull that info in.
