Hi community,
Recently I have gotten back into web dev due to necessity. I am an old school web dev learning my way around the WordPress CRM.
I have created an RSVP Event management app using the EventON plug set for our business in leu of launching a new mining machine.
Because I am dealing with a Mining mentality user group I have to keep things as simple as possible.
So there is no WordPress account registration for the users, they receive an invite based of an imported CSV which holds their full name, email, phone number, company and position.
Based on the unique record ID from the MySQL import table, I include the ID in the email invite link.
So when they click it and come to the site to RSVP it pulls the record details in the background and then I use it to populate some of the RSVP form elements (Full name, email, etc)
When they submit the RSVP I would like to track them and their state of RSVP loosely without forcing a WordPress user registration and login.
Because I haven't done web dev in many years, I haven't kept up with current dev trends and methods.
In the past I would use a cookie and session variables to handle this. But since my days of development I have learned that cookie abuse via privacy has forced a lot of companies to by default reject cookie use in the users browser settings. Can you recommend a way around this so that I can keep the simplicity and still track RSVP state without the forced WordPress account registration?
Thanks for your consideration.
Jay
