Hi all,

I think that I have an easy one here, but its got me confused.  I am trying to modify the CRM_Event_Badge_Logo.php file so that I can create a custom name badge for our events.

I am following the instructions that lobo posted here:

http://civicrm.org/blogs/xavier/new-features-civievent-32-name-badges-and-place-cards

So far so good.  I was able to change the background logo with no issues.  I was able to create the new format using the admin function,....

but I can not figure out how to add some of our Custom data to the tag. 

I would like to replace the   $participant['current_employer'] with our custom field of National Title. 

I have tried replacing the current_employer code with this: $participant['national_title_5'], or this $participant['national_title'],
neither of which worked.

Any help would be great. Thanks in advance

That particular field is part of the event registration process, but I can not figure out the code to make it print in my custom tags.

CiviCRM 3.3.3
Drupal 6.20

Xavier,

whoops sorry about that.... 

I am not actually editing the CRM_Event_Badge_Logo.php file, rather using it as a base to work from.  I have created a new file and have it "registered" in the event badge admin menu...

I am a little confused still about how I accomplish what you indicated...

Can you point my to an example of some code so that I can work my way through it.... I am not a coder at all, but I can fumble my way around if I have an example to work from.....

I tried working from the NameTitleOrg4x3 file in the wiki... and tired to use this code:
//retrieve national_title and add to $participant array
require_once 'api/v2/Participant.php';
require_once 'api/v2/Contact.php';
$params_participant = array(
'participant_id' => $participant['participant_id'],
);
$participant_full = & civicrm_participant_get( $params_participant );
$contact_id = $participant_full['contact_id'];
$params_contact = array(
'contact_id' => $contact_id,
);
$contact_full = civicrm_contact_get( $params_contact );
$participant['contact_id'] = $contact_id;
$participant['national_title_5'] = $contact_full[$contact_id]['national_title_5'];
But no dice.... 

So here is what my entire file looks like:
<?php

Again, sorry.... about the mixup... I was just looking at the big picture that has a guy with a name tag on it that said lobo...

Father Shawn,

Thanks for pointing me to that, i am getting closer I think..

I have identified the field ID, but I am still unsure about how to make it all come together....

So my custom data has a field ID of 16 and the other is 5. 

//retrieve State Society and National Title add to $participant array
require_once 'api/v2/Participant.php';
require_once 'api/v2/Contact.php';
$params_participant = array(
'participant_id' => $participant['participant_id'],
);
$participant_full = & civicrm_participant_get( $params_participant );
$contact_id = $participant_full['contact_id'];
$params_contact = array(
'contact_id' => $contact_id,
);

$params    = array(
                   'contact_id' => $contact_id,
                   'return_custom_16' => $state_society
                   'return_custom_5' => $national_title
                   );
$contact_full = civicrm_contact_get( $params_contact );
$participant['contact_id'] = $contact_id;
$participant['national_title'] = $contact_full[$contact_id]['national_title'];
$participant['state_society'] = $contact_full[$contact_id]['state_society'];


But that just leaves me with a white screen of death....

what am I missing...

Thanks for the help thus far...

Here is the file I have thus far:
