Alternatives to "FormChoice" for custom info gathering
January 13, 2010 05:16AM
I notice the formchoice option in the docs for drop-down lists.

Does Webtix support the collection of free text, such as an additional name field? We have an event where we would like to collect the names of each person in the party for purchasers who purchase more than one ticket. Essentially this is a <form> field of input type "text" and a label of "name."

Thank you.

Take a look on pages 33 and 34 in the Webtix manual ( [centerstage.com] )

The example there uses FormChoice variables for dropdown lists. Just as easily, you can add text fields. As long as the variable name begins with "FormChoice," The variable and the variable name will be saved with the sale.

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for the tip. We used code similar to below to capture Spouse names for a marriage conference.

<div class='text'><br><p><big><strong>Please Provide the Name of you and your Spouse:</strong></big><br><br>
<input type="text" name="formchoiceSpouse1" value="Your Name" maxlength="255" /><br><br>
<input type="text" name="formchoiceSpouse2" value="Spouse's Name" maxlength="255" />
</p> </div>
