Custom attendee fields

Requires the FooEvents Custom Attendee Fields plugin

The FooEvents Custom Attendee Fields plugin is an extension for FooEvents that makes it possible to capture customized attendee fields at checkout. This is useful for acquiring additional information from attendees such as clothing sizes, meal preferences, demographic information, waiver acceptance etc.

The custom attendee fields can be different for every event and are unique to each attendee. Each field can be setup to be optional or required and they are captured during the checkout process.
