I'd like to add one of the fields of the contacts in the list of participants shown on the CiviEvent Dashboard.

How would I do that? I'm sure it has something to do with the Smarty templating, so maybe I need a gentle introduction to that...

I'm running CiviCRM 4.7.7 but believe this would be the same for most recent versions.

  • Can you add what Civi version and CMS are you using? With add fields, do you mean extra columns that show up next to the name, ie Current Employer? – Andrei May 16 '16 at 10:34
  • I've added Civi version, but how do you think CMS would matter? – thoni56 May 16 '16 at 10:38
  • It matters, there are some tools/extensions that are available for Drupal and not for Wordpress/Joomla and viceversa. I'm not a Drupal user but I know that perhaps you could solve your requirements with Drupal Views without having to create an extension. – Andrei May 16 '16 at 11:25
  • Are you saying that the builtin dashboard lists can be modified with non-civicrm tools? I would have thought not. Can you explain how to do that in an answer please? – thoni56 May 18 '16 at 5:13

Not easily ... you can create an extension to call hook_civicrm_searchColumns to provide the extra data to the template, and then change the CRM/Event/Form/Selector.tpl template to display that data.

Note that will change the event dashboard and also the events tab of a contact and the results of Find Participants.
