How could I get the participant ID and the corresponding contact ID on the event registration thank-you page? E.g. is there a field (or piece of code) I can insert in /templates/CRM/Event/Form/Registration/DisplayProfile.tpl ?

For participant ID I tried the following but to no avail:

<div class="participant-id hidden">{$participant.id}</div>

Thank you for any tips

    you can try inserting {debug} at any line in the file and check the variables that are populating for the template file. Commented Apr 8, 2018 at 6:18
  • Thank you for the tip, @jitendra-fuzion, I did what you suggested, and the only helpful variable I see is an array {$participantIDs} ... we only allow one participant so how could I grab the first (and only) item in the array?

the following did the trick - works in this situation well enough as we only allow registering one participant:

{$participantIDs.0}

The above grabs the participant ID of the first (and only in our case) participant

  • I found a PHP-only approach to get the participant_id. @ me if interested.

The participant_id can be accessed on the event registration thank you page in two different ways -- by using Smarty template variables when the user is logged in or by using session variables when the user is anonymous. Both approaches work when used inside the "civicrmBuildForm" hook.

1) User logged in

add_action( 'civicrm_buildForm', 'getParticipantId' );

function getParticipantId() {
    $template = (array) CRM_Core_Smarty::singleton();
    $event = $template['_tpl_vars']['event'];

    $participant = civicrm_api3('Participant', 'getsingle', [
        'sequential' => 1,
        'contact_id' => "user_contact_id",
        'event_id' => $event['id'],
    ]);

    echo $participant['id'];
}

2) Anonymous user

add_action( 'civicrm_buildForm', 'getParticipantId' );

function getCrmFromSession($session) {
    if (!empty($session)) {
        $seshAry = (array) $session;
        $seshKey = array_keys($seshAry)[1];
        $CiviCRM = json_decode(json_encode($seshAry[$seshKey]), true)['CiviCRM'];

        if ( !empty($CiviCRM['CRM_Utils_Recent']) && isset($CiviCRM['CRM_Utils_Recent'][0]['id']) ) {
            $CiviCRM['participant_id'] = $CiviCRM['CRM_Utils_Recent'][0]['id'];
        }

        return $CiviCRM;
    } else {
        return array();
    }
}

function getParticipantId() {
    $CiviCRM = getCrmFromSession(CRM_Core_Session::singleton());

    echo $CiviCRM['participant_id'];
}
  • I appended a template to the Thank You template with the data related to participant_id.
  • In my case, the BuildForm hook lives in my theme's functions.php file.
