Set Attendee List Opt-in to "Yes" by Default

Reply Quote

To set your attendee list to on by default insert the following code into your Global JS under settings.

<script type="text/javascript">
  try {
       var myCheckBox = document.getElementById('ctl03_FunctionalBlock1_ctl00_eventPageViewBase_ctl00_ctl03_stepTemplate_isShownOnPublic');
       if ((!top.adminpanel) && myCheckBox)
          myCheckBox.checked = true;
      }
catch(e) {}
</script>

However keep in mind that customizations like this should be used at your own discretion. We can not guarantee ongoing compatibility of any customizations with our future upgrades.

Thanks -- this is a big improvement. However is it possible to add additional customization code that will also set the default on for attendee list when attendees are manually entered by the event manager? When I tested the code, it only worked when a member registered themselves, and frequently it is the event manager that misses checking the box when entering manual registrations.

Glad it helped. But do a similar customization on the administrative side would not be possible.

Did this custom code no longer work with the recent upgrade? I have noticed lots more anonymous registrations, and just tested it myself. The default on when registering as a member seems to be gone now.

Hi - I'll review this code to see their is a conflict with the new version. If I find anything I will post it in this thread. But keep in mind this are unsupported 'as is' customizations for the most part.

Is there any update on this? This is driving me crazy with having to fix it for every registration. There was a lot of support for this fix, I hope we can get it back real soon.

I believe the field was moved to the very bottom of the registration form in 4.0, so it's even harder for the users to notice it than it was when it was toward the top.

Thanks

I know the code was repaired for the 4.0 upgrade a few weeks ago. However, I don't believe it is working correctly. Unfortunately I can't give you any specific reason why the default is on for some, and why for others it is not working. I thought it might be those using Internet Explorer, but just tested that for myself, and the default worked correctly. I have asked several users who confirmed they did not do anything to the check box (most don't even recall seeing it), so don't understand why they are "anonymous". Perhaps it is people using earlier versions of IE? (the ones I asked were using IE) Is it possible to look at again --- I wish I could duplicate the problem myself, but have been unable to.
