Good day! I'm new here, having recently purchased rsevents pro & rsform pro.

I'm setting up some events for our client, using a custom registration form made with rsform pro. I added the code to create a counter for each submission, and I'm wondering if it's possible to add a placeholder in the activation email from rsevents, so that when it's send, it tells the subscribe the counter number (I.E.: your ticket is number {counter})

Many thanks in advance!

You can add any of your fields to the email. Go to User Email, open the editor and type:


As long as you have a field named "counter" on your form, it will appear in your email.

That sadly wont work...

Does anyone have an idea? I searched everywhere for {EventLink} or other placeholders - nowhere to find.

I just need 3 more placeholders for the registration email. I know this works for the emails in rsform, but not for the emails in rsevent - why is that btw? PLEASE SUPPORT!!!!!!!!

I am not sure where exactly have you searched for information, but if you take a look within the RSEvents!Pro - RSFOrm!Pro documentation, you will most likely find what you need:

Well I checked it, but still doesn´t cover whats asked - question was "How can I add an custom placeholder". This just shows me that I can use a form to do what?

I don´t get this explanation either. So what to do? This won´t create a custom placeholder tho.

You actually don't need a custom placeholder for the RSForm!Pro related fields, simply because you can now override the RSEvents!Pro emails with RSForm!Pro ones (that can include its specific placeholders).

I do not get the idea here. Since you can use the RSFORM Pro user and email for registration, how does this help me using special fields in my RSEVENT. I think I am missing something.

I installed the Plugin - with newest Event and Form Pro - add a new Form and choose user and email for additional field. Then I use this form in RS Event and use overrides in RS Form. Am I following right here?

My understanding is that you need to use some of the RSForm!Pro placeholders within RSEvents!Pro generated emails.

If you take a look at the documented article you will notice that using the RSForm!Pro - RSEvents!Pro integration plugin you can override some of the RSEvents!Pro emails with RSForm!Pro - basically instead of delivering the RSEvents!Pro Registration Email, the one configured in RSForm!Pro will be sent instead. The good part is that there you can use RSForm!Pro placeholders.

Yes indeed. But the plugin is for "custom subscription forms" - so I have no form for subscription. I only have users that attend to some events. The just click on "participate" and login with their Login & Password.

There is no easy way of adding a new placeholder. You will need to perform source code modifications. We generally don't recommend this as it may affect the overall functionality and the changes will be lost upon performing an update.

For your specific case, you would need to edit the following file:

components/com_rseventspro/helpers/emails.php

Notice the "placeholders" function.

That was what I was looking for. Well I am working on my own component right now, since I need specific fields and other mailfunctions. But now I found what I was looking for - thanks a lot!

$search = array('{EventName}','{EventLink}','{EventDescription}','{EventStartDate}','{EventStartDateOnly}','{EventStartTime}','{EventEndDate}','{EventEndDateOnly}','{EventEndTime}','{Owner}','{OwnerUsername}','{OwnerName}','{OwnerEmail}','{EventURL}','{EventPhone}','{EventEmail}','{LocationName}','{LocationLink}','{LocationDescription}','{LocationURL}','{LocationAddress}','{EventCategories}','{EventTags}','{EventIconSmall}','{EventIconBig}','{EventAnrede}');
$replace = array($event->name, $eventlink, $event->description, $startdate, $sdate, $sdatetime, $enddate, $edate, $edatetime, $event->ownername, $owner->get('username'), $owner->get('name'), $owner->get('email'), $event->URL, $event->phone, $event->email, $event->location, $locationlink, $event->ldescription, $event->locationlink, $event->address, $categories, $tags, $details, $details, $event->anrede);


Just adding it sadly won´t do the trick. Any ideas?

What would you recommend? So i don´t loose integrety and can still update etc.?

From what i can see, you are trying to replace the new placeholder with $event->anrede. Are you sure that this property exists ? (this is not standard)

I assume that you actually trying to add a new field as an event property. This too would require extra modifications to the source code (not to mentioned database structure).

This implementation does require source code changes and advanced scripting knowledge.

I assumed since the Dbo connection already exists I just have to add it there. The field "anrede" is already in my Database. Actually I am using an RSFORM to fill the Event Database - my Costumers "passively" create an event - its not approved till I activate it. I call them - they agree and I activate it (all the options etc. go with the SQL Mapping function from RSForm Pro). Then the user apply for the events.

So I just need some custom fields AND placeholders for my Event. SQL Mapping etc. is not the problem. My problem is the code - it takes a lot of time to search all the PHP files to find the right codesnippets I have to manipulate.

But maybe others have the same problem and this helps them too.

Okay I worked arround and built my own extension, using the existing table from RSEVENT. But this is just too much work around...

Change this in the emails.php
Edited this in the placeholders.php

But it won´t find my status field in my events table. Can you place give me a hint. I already replaced the $event->status with $event->name and it does the trick with the Placeholder. I just need to initialize or add my field.

Well instead of explaining that it´s tricky, you might wanna suggest a solultion here? Never been so unsupported with a well paid Component...
