Limit Number of Online Registration "Register multiple participants"

[zoomlanski]

Greetings,

I have selected "Register multiple participants?" in the configure event online Registration.

It creates a drop down box for 10 participants.

Is it possible to limit the drop down box to 4?

Explanation: Creating an Competition Registration.
Teams are 4 people, 2 competitors, 2 judges. So I only need to collect profile data for 4 participants.

Thank you
Tim S

You can use the hook_civicrm_buildForm and set the number of additional participants to 3 (+ the main registrant)

Thank you for the guiding light

I've accomplished some of the steps
- built the directory
- created the file
- put the default code in a file civicrmhooks...

Where does one find the code to replace the form info?
From my page source code @ http://test.paramediccompetition.ca/register/competition-registration  ??

?? $formname?
?? $defaults



/**
 * Set a default value for an event price set field.
 */
example_civicrm_buildForm($formName, &form) {
  if ($formName == 'CRM_Event_Form_Registration_Register') {
    $defaults['price_3'] = '710';
    $form->setDefaults($defaults);
  }
}
 }

Everytime I upload the civicrmhooks.php file, it doesn't run

It shows the contents in the Admin window and "loads"

Attached screen shot and the civicrmHooks.php as a text file.

Guidance is appreciated,
Thanks
Tim

I would like to note this as a feature request - ie: to be able to set the maximum number of additional participants through the admin GUI. Is it OK to create an issue for it in the tracker?

[Donald Lobo]

you can post it in the feature requests and suggestions board

if you are willing to work on it and submit a patch that implements it, then please go ahead and create an issue and attach your PR to the issue
