Event Confirmation Screen Customization

[John Thompson]

Is there a way to put specific registration information in the confirmation screen header or footer? Specifically, I want to put in the footer things like the internal registration id, event id, internal ids for the price options selected and things like that. I know this is odd for a confirmation screen but bear with me as I'm working my way to doing some other things with these fields.

As a follow-on, is there a way to do this in confirmation emails?

Thanks

I am not a developer, so can't help with your question, but I would like to suggest that rather that say "bear with me as I'm working my way to doing some other things with these fields", you should include your final goal in the post, particularly as you are new to CiviCRM.

You may be a very experienced WordPress developer, but there is a wealth of CiviCRM-specific experience amongst the community. Someone may already have done what you are planning, or may be able to foresee problems that you can't because of a lack of experience with CiviCRM, or may even be trying to do the very same thing you are, in which case collaboration could be possible.

I have watched other projects unfold with posts that ask one specific question at a time.  Sometimes the ultimate goal is reached, but other times they fail at one of the final hurdles when the poster says "now I just need to do..."  And the response is "That is almost impossible.  If your ultimate aim was XXX you should have tried this different approach..."

Joanne raises a good point so I lay it out there.

The problem that I'm trying to solve is collecting names and info about event registrants that are registered as a group. The end goal is to add contact and participant records to CiviCRM. Specifically, we sell tables for some events where there will be maybe 8 people at the table. The price sets have a single item, one table for $100, rather than selling 8 tickets. Since only one item is being sold, the out-of-the box workflow doesn't call for asking for contact info for multiple people. So one approach is to inject or modify the workflow to collect that info and I have a post in a different forum topic about that. So for this forum topic, I'm thinking I could include a link to a system (CiviCRM or not) for the user to click on where we'd gather that info. I need to tie it back to the CiviCRM event so I'd need in that link at least the event ID and probably a participant ID. The link might be on the thank you page or in the thank you email.
