Multiple Signup for an event

Hi, I was wondering if any of you guys could help me with this:
I am using Drupal Commerce for Event/Course registration and payment, and I was wondering how to let attendees/customers to buy extra places/seats for their friends and pay in one transaction. I know this is quite simple by using Qty. field and let them choose number of places they need... However, I would need them to be able to enter the name of the additional participants as well. For example, when they set Qty. to 5, then they should be given 5 field sets to enter 5 names ... something like that. Any idea how to do this?
I would really appreciate your help guys :)

Cheers,
Kourosh

I just did this on http://cgtraining.commerceguys.com.

* Add an "attendee name" field to the line item.
* Check the "Include this field on Add to Cart forms for line items of this type." checkbox on the field.
* On the display settings of the add-to-cart on the product display node you may need to uncheck "Attempt to combine like products on the same line item in the cart."

Thanks for your reply. But, I would need to have the option to select the number of attendees and enter the names and pay based on that. For example, I want to pay for my friend to attend the course together, and I need to enter my friends name as well... In other word, the attendees name fields should be appear based on the number of places we want to purchase; If I choose 5 places/Qty. then there must be 5 name fields to enter... pretty much like the airline ticket purchasing ... any idea how to do that?

So... My idea was just that you'd add them one at a time and then pay together. The all show as separate line items on the order, and you can show the names there. It's just a different user interface than you imagine.

I guess you could have a node with multiple product reference nodes on it, all with add-to-cart forms, and provide it all on one page that way.

Hi Kooroach,

I just stumbled upon your posting and I was wondering if you ever found a solution to this problem? I am trying to do exactly the same thing. I am currently using a similar method to the suggestion made by rfay but I would rather allow a multiple quantity and gather details for each attendee.

Any help would be amazing.

Thanks so much.
