What would it take to get the multi person event signup to all show up on a single page? I was just running through a test of our event system and found it very confusing to be presented with a second page to collect the name of the second person to sign up for an event.


Our use case is a ticketted fund raiser (dinner) where a lot of our customers are going to be groups of more than 1 (often couples, but some times 3s and 4s), and making it as painless and straight forward as possible to register all those folks in a single go.


Thanks in advance

Looks like it just might. Do you have a good example of using it?

The documentation seems to say this won't work for paid events:


"NOTE: It is not currently possible to pay for events via webform."


Which is going to be a problem for this particular instance. Looks good for other things we'll try to do though.

We need the other names, just to make nice name tags, though we only need real profile information from the person paying for tickets. I've been thinking about just doing this with different ticket types like "Dinner for One, Dinner for Two, Dinner for Three ..." and having an extra profile field that is just a list of guest names, but that's a little less than ideal as that means the system doesn't at all understand the number of tickets we sold (a little human effort will then have to go into that).


Any other ideas you got would be great.

Another thing I've done after registering via webform is to redirect to a civi contribution page. Then use buildform hooks to display the amount owed, and post hooks to update their status once payment is received. Not quite as easy as it sounds, but it does work.
