HI Team,

I have a form - Online Registration for School It has many fields however the fields I am concerned about are

Class Student is applied for : Drop Down
Father's Name : Text
Mother's Name : Text

I have to generate Registration ID based on user Input. Format of the registration ID Would be
First four character for current year(i.e. 2011), First letter from the class applied for drop down (i.e if Nursery then N, if 2nd then II), then a serial no 00001 auto increment, then First letter of Mother Name and last First letter of Father Name.

Is there any one who can guide me how Can I achieve this?

Thanks & Regards

This would require custom code to accomplish. You would have to use a hook to read the values of the other fields and set the Registration ID value using custom PHP code that does what you want it to do.

How skilled are you with PHP and WordPress hooks, actions and filter usage?

I'm going to have one of our developers give a high level overview of how to populate a hidden field based on the value of date selection field. It will show you how to dynamically populate a hidden field with code.

They are going to add this information to the other forum thread you have started, it applies to both as the same technique would be used. I am going to go ahead and close this one.
