Definire campi personalizzati per la raccolta dei dati prima del check-in

do_action( 'vikbooking_display_precheckin_pax_fields', array &$precheckin_pax_fields )

Fires before displaying the data collection fields during pre check-in for each guest in the front-end reservation details page.

Description

Plugins can use this filter to manipulate at runtime the fields requested to each guest during pre check-in by adding custom HTML input elements of any type.

Please note this should be used only if the default pre check-in fields do not meet your requirements.

Parameters

&$precheckin_pax_fields

(array)  The two-dimension array containing the default pre check-in fields with their respective keys (names) and attributes (types).

This is how the hook will fire. In order to customize (modify) the information (fields) requested to each guest it is necessary to modify the properties of the array passed by reference.

Same fields for pre-checkin and back-end registration

This hook describes how to define (overwrite) the pre-checkin guest registration fields. The system will load a list of pre-defined fields for the pre-checkin, or the list of pre-defined fields for pre-checkin can be returned by your active guest data collection driver.

If you are developing a custom plugin (driver) for the guest data collection and if you would like to have the same custom fields during the pre-checkin as well as during the back-end guests registration, then you should declare the method listPrecheckinFields as explained in the section Data Collection Driver File.

Use this hook to simply manipulate at runtime the fields for pre-checkin before they are rendered and displayed.

Example

The example below shows how to quickly add some additional fields to the default ones, and those unwanted could be simply unset.

Please notice that this example integrates what's described in the "Main plugin file" section to load a custom driver for the back-end guests registration (Check-in). If you are only interested in overriding the front-end pre check-in fields, then you should focus only on how to define the hook for the event vikbooking_display_precheckin_pax_fields.

If you are willing to copy the whole code snippet above to build your own custom plugin, then you should be aware of the fact that other files will have to be provided, because the above example is an integration of what was described for the back-end check-in data collection during the guests registration.
