Hi, in the registration form, I am using some custom fields. However, I am missing some essential features. Is this possible? And otherwise, are you developing this in the near future?

1. To sort the custom fields in a different way. For example, I would like to place a custom field between the Name and the E-mail field.
2. The free text custom field is very small. I would like to have an option to say how many digits this field should contain.

Thanks, Rianne

Hello,

1. To sort the custom fields in a different way. For example, I would like to place a custom field between the Name and the E-mail field.

This is the current dev in proccess for 3.6.0 ;-)

2. The free text custom field is very small. I would like to have an option to say how many digits this field should contain.

Is it possible to have an online link, as this could be change with Custom CSS (and maybe the size is due to your site template).

Best Regards,
Cyril

1. fantastic!
2. No this event is not online yet, only to be tested sometimes. Could you tell me where I can enter custom CSS? Anyway, it would be nice if I can set a different size for different custom fields.

3. And another question: I would like to set different registration forms (with different fields) for different events. Is that possible?

Thanks, Rianne

Hello

You have an option in global options of iCagenda > General Settings tab (at the bottom).
This option allows you to add custom CSS declarations loaded in header of your page (after the css files) and so allows you to override the existing css or to add some custom declarations.
About custom css for each fields, don't forget that in a form, each field has its own id attribute!
So, with a code inspector (firebug, integrated firefox inspector or Chrome tools) you can know for each field the id, and so create a declaration like this :
#reg_name input { width: 250px }

Note: id may change in the future with the refactory in process of the registration form.

Hope this helps!

3. And another question: I would like to set different registration forms (with different fields) for different events. Is that possible?

Yes !
The 3.6.0-alpha1 is already included the first improvement for that : the groups.
Now you can set groups to custom fields, and in the event options, registrations tab, selected which groups of custom fields to display for this event ;-)

Cyril

Nice :-). Can I also send different registration notification e-mails for different events?

Hello again, it's been a while B)

I am trying to make the comments below working. However, I can't find the manner to do these things in the registration form:

1. I would like to place a custom field between the Name and the E-mail field. How to do this?
2. How can I give some instructions above the registration form?
3. With single dates, is it possible to show an empty Date field and to make it required, so that the user has to make a very conscience choice about the date he is attending?
4. With single dates, is it also possible to select more than one date?

Thanks in advance!

Hello Rianne,

1. I would like to place a custom field between the Name and the E-mail field. How to do this?

Create new custom fields type "override" for each core registration field.
Then, you will be able to order all the fields in the admin list of custom fields, and frontend will use this ordering ;-)

2. How can I give some instructions above the registration form?

Use the new custom field type : description (separator)

3. With single dates, is it possible to show an empty Date field and to make it required, so that the user has to make a very conscience choice about the date he is attending?

The list will auto select the date of the event clicked. So if user does not change the date, it is the one he saw when in event details view (before clicking the Register button).
As i'm working on many new things for registration system, too early to give you an answer on if this could be possible later, but for now, it is the date selected in event selected by default (when multiple dates, and registration type is by date).

4. With single dates, is it also possible to select more than one date?

This is one of the things i want to make possible in the future! ;-)
The last step of refactory will be next minor version 3.7
After this one, i will focus on 4.0, with a full new system for dates, which will allow much more flexibility in the future.
So, still many things to do before all this possible, and it will take some months, but all the development goes in the good direction, and i'm preparing in each release some code to prepare this ;-)

Best Regards,
Cyril
