Hi,
I have a Joomla 2.5.3 and civiCRM 4.1.0 installed on a non-profit web site. I was trying to include participant ID as a confirmation number on Thank You Screen. I added "Confirmation No: {$participantID}" in the Thankyou.tpl, the result came out blank "Confirmation No:".
I read some previous threads, they indicated that starting on version 4.1, the {$participantID} was exposed to the Thankyou.tpl. However, it doesn't seem to be the case. I even went to the civiCRM.org demo site created a test event and tested; it came out blank on the Thank You Screen as well. I may be missing something on my end. Could anybody help?

Thank you in advance.

Lobo,
  I am sorry. On the demo site, I added the variable to the introduction text area, the result is {$participantID}
I just add another Joomla 2.5.3 + civiCRM 4.1.1, and add {$participantID} to the Thanyou.tpl, the result is blank.
Do I need to do anything else besides adding {$participantID} to the Thanyou.tpl?

Thanks,

Hi Lobo,
  I am using {debug}, you are right the {$participantIDs} was exposed to the ThankYou.tpl. However, it alway show null.

Questions:
  1) I am wondering where the variable got assigned.
  2) If setting up "Register multiple participants? => No", whether the {$participantIDs} gets assigned or {$participantID}?

 Thanks,

Hi Lobo,

I am little frastrated, I have been trying these:

A. Your solution:

1. u will need to expose this in the php code.

CRM/Event/Form/Registration.php, line 544

$this->assign( 'registerByID', $participant->id );

2. In the smarty templates you can use $registerByID

3. templates/CRM/Event/Form/Registration/ThankYou.tpl

C. The current version (4.1.1) appeared to be the participantIDs was exposed:

1. templates/CRM/Event/Form/Registration/ThankYou.tpl
{foreach from= $participantIDs item=code key=no}
       p>{ts 1=$code}Confirmation Number: %1 {/ts}</p>
{/foreach}

Based on {debug} result, all of these variables returned "null" from ThankYou.tpl. The function assignToTemplate( ) in the Registration.php supposed to capture participantID or participantIDs, but it seems did not capture these variables correctly.

Any suggestion?

Hi Lobo,

Thanks for the info. Unfortunely I couldn't attend the event.
I finally use timestamp as an alternative, here is my code, hopefully others can benefit from it if they have same issue as I do.
