First Name and Last name on booking form

[Dan Brady]

I want to be able to collect the first name and last name on the booking form.

By default the first name and last name are hidden when a user is already logged in. However, we have many users for whom we don’t have the first name and last name fields.

How can I make first and last name required fields on event booking forms?

Thanks

Dan

Hi Dan,

As you’ve noted the name field is removed for logged-in users. He’s a snippet which will re-add it back in. I’ve left so that it will always appear for logged-in users, but you may want to adjust it slightly so it only appears if the user does not have a first and/or last name stored.

This should go in a custom plug-in, but will also work in a theme’s functions.php:

<?php

/**
 * Add the removed name fields if the user is logged-in.
 */
add_action( 'eventorganiser_event_booking_form_render', function( $form ) {
    if( is_user_logged_in() && !$form->get_element( 'name' ) ){
        $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
        $element = EO_Booking_Form_Element_Factory::create( array(
            'id'         => 'name',
            'type'       => 'name',
            'field_name' => 'name',
            'required'   => true,
            'label'      => __( 'Name', 'eventorganiserp' ),
            'value'      => array(
                'fname' => $current_user->user_firstname,
                'lname' => $current_user->user_lastname,
            )
        ) );
        $form->add_element( $element, array( 'at' => 0 ) );
    }
} );

/**
 * Currently, if the user is logged-in, the booking form will forcebly 
 * set the name fields to that of the logged-in user. So we update the
 * user's name before that happens.
 */
add_action( 'eo_booking_form_submission', function( $raw_data, $form_id, $form ) {
    if( is_user_logged_in() && $form->get_element( 'name' ) ){
        $name = $form->get_element( 'name' );
        global $current_user;
        $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
        $current_user->user_firstname = $name->get_value( 'fname' );
        $current_user->user_lastname = $name->get_value( 'lname' );
    }
}, 10, 3 );

/**
 * The booking form has been validated. We now update the database with the user's names
 */
add_action( 'eventorganiser_process_booking_form_submission', function( $form ) {

    if( is_user_logged_in() && $form->get_element( 'name' ) ){
        $name = $form->get_element( 'name' );
        wp_update_user( array(
            'ID' => get_current_user_id(),
            'first_name' => $name->get_value( 'fname' ),
            'last_name' => $name->get_value( 'lname' ),
        ) );
    }

} );
