Admin only custom field for registrants

Hi Tuan,

Is there a way to have an Admin only custom field for an event, but not allow the user to see or edit it during registration?

I have individual registrations, and would like to assign Bib#'s to the registrations, so when I export for check-in/registration sheets, they already have their Bib# assigned. I'd like to be able to edit the custom field as an admin but not allow the user to see or edit the field.

Thanks,
Cory

You can set the "Access" Level for an custom field. Set it to an Joomla! user group, as example Special, and that custom field works as expect.

I like the idea, sounds like it should work. But I can't find where to set the Access Level for a custom field? I am using an older version of EventBooking (1.5.3), due to the number of customizations I've made. Perhaps it was added in a later version?

(Here I go promoting CSS hacks again... sorry Tuan )
If ACL was not implemented in your version of EB, as a work-around you might be able to use a bit of CSS to hide that field from front-end registrants (target the custom field ID -> display:none;), assuming that your version appends IDs to custom fields.
The field should then still appear in the back-end for you to edit. If you have it also appear in the confirmation email, you may therefore want to default the field value to something like "Will be assigned" is that registrants don't just see the field as blank.

Hi

Yes. Access Level was added to later version of the extension, so you could not use it if you are using unless you upgrade your site to latest version of Events Booking

Maybe you can try the solution proposed by @James above, but with old version, I am not sure it is possible or not. 1.5.3 is quite old now
