I am trying to create a custom badge template so that we can print lables to go on a 4x3 event badge. Each lable will be only an inch high and I have a qr code for security/staff to log in to gather info. We have a few custom fields including badge name, (a custom name they want printed on their badge) as well as a few other variables Like emergency contact info. The problem I am having is that I cant get them to display on the badge. I noticed in one of the related pages it is supposed to be pulling the information and making it so i just type $participant['customfieldname']. they are all in the same custom data set called o_emergency_contact_name_1 in the database table and the fields in the table are named o_Emergency_Contact_Name, Emergency_Contact_Phone, Allergies, Badge_Name with the ids being 1,2,3,4 and the custom group id is 1 for all of them

attached  to this post is what i have so far

am I missing something or did I overlook a post some where that explains this? Any help on getting it to work would be appreciated and yes I do plan on submitting this to the site once all the formatting is finished.

Thanks, i will look into that. I noticed there were some examples for me to look at that the test suite just have to change it from contact to get it to do perticipant stuff.

i was a bit confused because there is this line in one of the filed that it refrences

  if ( $includeCustomFields )
         {
                // also get all the custom participant properties
                require_once "CRM/Core/BAO/CustomField.php";
                $fields = CRM_Core_BAO_CustomField::getFieldsForImport('Participant');
                if ( ! empty( $fields ) )
            {
                    foreach ( $fields as $name => $dontCare ) {
                        $properties[$name] = 1;
                    }
                }
            }

If I'm understanding it correctly its adding that custom fields to the $participant array. If that's the case it seems like a lot of leg work to have to go and re gather everything
