Custom Fields not available in dashboard, email notice or notification to reques

[Sally Archambault]

I’ve set up several ‘custom’ fields in the event request form: First name, last name and Phone. I cannot find a way to display those fields anywhere. (In other words, I can request the information but can’t look at it.)
In addition, the requester’s email is not in the email ‘New Event Submission’ notice – and it should be..

The requester’s email is visible in the dashboard but is not ‘hot’ – no direct link. So, there is no easy way to contact the requester nor a way to see the full details of request.

Help.

Thank you Stephen.

Hi Sally,

Custom fields should appear in the ‘custom fields’ section of the event admin page. If you cannot see this, please try Screen Options in the top right and ensure that ‘Custom Fields’ is selected. If you cannot see it there, please enable custom fields in the plug-in settings at Settings > Event Organiser > General

Custom fields should appear in the admin notification e-mail (is this what you’re referring to?). You can display them on the event’s page by editing the templates and adding:

 <?php echo get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'your_chosen_meta_key', true ); ?>

You’re right, the submitter details are missing from the ‘new event notification’, and this shall be added in 1.3.0.

I shall look into making the submitters email clickable for 1.3.0. If the submitter is logged-in then it will link to their user profile.
