[SOLVED] Custom fields in child events

Hi

I have added some custom fields to an event but if I create a child event the custom fields are not shown in the registration form for the child event. Is there an option somewhere to include custom fields from the parent in child events?

regards
Trevor

Hi Trevor

We do not have that option available. You will need to assign custom field to both parent and children events in this case

Hi Tuan

OK, that's a shame.

I might try writing a plugin using onAfterSaveEvent to copy the necessary rows in the #_eb_field_events table. Sounds straightforward but perhaps there is a bit more to it?

That should be enough. The other option would be implement an override for getFormFields method in EventbookingHelperRegistration class

Attached is the override. You can get this file, unzip it, upload to components/com_eventbooking/helper/override folder on your site, then check to see if it works as expected (I coded it quickly without testing)

Many thanks Tuan

I will test it later today.

Best regards

OK Trevor

Please update me with the result once you tested it

Tuan

Hi Tuan

Sorry I ran out of time yesterday so will test it today and will report back.

Best regards

Don't worry Trevor. Take your time

Hi Tuan

I created a custom field and assigned it to an event. I then added an additional date to the event but when I tried to register I get the following error:

I could register for the parent event OK but the error was thrown when registering for the child.

I checked the eb_field_events table and it only contained the entry for the parent event.

Best regards
Trevor

Sorry Trevor

I had a small typo in the code. Please use this updated file and it should be fine

Regards,

Tuan
