Version 2.22 of Registrations for the Events Calendar Pro includes a ton of improvements under the hood. This allows the plugin to better handle event registration for multiple guests as well as improves some placeholders for email templates.
Multi-Person Registration (Connected Guest) Improvements
Instead of each connected guest receiving a separate confirmation email, you can now include a simple summary of the connected guests in the email that goes to the main registration.
Look for this setting found on the “Form” tab, “Connected Guests” section.
This will be true also of notification emails. Only a single notification email will be sent for each connected guest.
You can still include information about each individual connected guest using our new email placeholder. Simply add the text {connected-guest-summary} anywhere in an email template. You can then configure what information is shown by editing the setting found on the “Email” tab, “Email Placeholders” section:
Other Improvements
To accommodate the improvements in connected guests the development team completely refactored our code related to registration form submission. This will dramatically simplify the code needed to make changes and get information about groups of connected registrations.
We also added support for a few an additional email placeholder, {party-size}. This placeholder will report the total number of registrations spots occupied by all guests in a connected registration group.
