Additional custom booking fields

    Hi all,
    a quick question:

    I am using customized registration fields (address and zip code) on my regular wordpress registration, using mainly this code.
    Since I do allow guest-booking on my events, wordpress requires users to fill out also address and zip code (error messages, because they can’t enter them in the original form). Now to enable users to do that, I succesfully hooked em_register_form function to add those fields to the booking form.

    Now my question:
    Since I’m quite new to wordpress and neither a coding expert: Is this a proper method of adding my fields or bears that any risks? Is it really that simple? ?? I read about data validation/sanitation, is this done automatically by wordpress?

    Thanks for your info!

  • Hi,

    Can you post the code you used to hook into em_register_form?

    Sure, my fields are ‘adresse’, ‘plz’ and ‘ort’.
    I hooked into em_register_form with the following:

    <?php 

add_action('em_register_form','mycustomfields_em'); 

function mycustomfields_em() {
?>
	<p>
		<label for='adresse'>Adresse</label>
		<input id="adresse" class="input" type="text" size="25" value="<?php echo $_POST['adresse']; ?>" name="adresse" />
	</p>
	<p>
		<label for='plz'>PLZ</label>
		<input id="plz" class="input" style="max-width: 160px;" type="text" size="5" maxlength="5" value="<?php echo $_POST['plz']; ?>" name="plz" />
	</p>
	<p>
		<label for='ort'>Ort</label>
		<input id="ort" class="input" type="text" size="20" value="<?php echo $_POST['ort']; ?>" name="ort" />
	</p>
	<?php
}

?>

    I know, thanks.

    If you’re accepting user input, you’d definitely want to take a look at the various sanitization functions WordPress provides to security check the user input.

    Thanks caimin_nwl, that’s what I ment. I’ll have a look at those… hoped that maybe wordpress would do that automatically ??
