From a user:

I'm 95% ready to rock and roll with this package!! One of my last stumbling blocks is that I need to be able to attach attendees to a corporate ticket purchase. The ticketing interface requires a contact name be given, which is okay, but on save, the created donation is named and attributed to the contact even when an org name is given. I've tried going through the opportunities tab to create a ticket opportunity for an org using the GW Auction Ticket record type. This allows me to create a ticket opportunity attributed to the Org. but not to add attendees. I can access the opp through GW's ticketing interface to add attendees but to save I have to provide a contact and then the opp name is edited to reflect the contact not the Org.

I want to add a custom button to the Auction Attendees related list on the GW Auction Ticket record type that would allow me to add attendees through the opportunity as well as the ticketing interface on the app. But I'm not able to find a good example of code that will let me do that. I need a button that would allow me to look up the correct Auction Attendee campaign and then add a campaign member via contact lookup as well as fill in the rest of the attendee fields (table number, table captain, meal preference, etc).
