I have created a few new event-related lists under Host -> Lists:

1. SmartThinker_EventProgramLevel
2. SmartThinker_EventAgeLevel
3. SmartThinker_EventRecruitmentSchool
4. SmartThinker_EventRecruitmentLocation

Each list has several entries added, as well.  Adding the lists was not actually an issue, but getting them to show up in the event creation dialog is becoming difficult.  Where is the template and what do I need to do to add these lists to it and to sort / filter my events against these new lists?

Also, can I create a top-level category for the Event?  Let's say it's either a organizational event or a recruitment event, then I would choose either one from a pulldown and my event creation dialogs would then present me the appropriate fields based on the top-level category.  Is that possible, also?

Thanks for the help - I have read the Documentation and the Module Config Guide but cannoit find much on extending the lists and customizing the 'event management' templates...

Hello Patrick,

I apologize for the delay, I am working on a new module and trying to keep my head down!

To clarify - you cannot add lists to the Event module, only change the ones that are there. So you can add and edit the category list (as you have done) as per these instructions.

So in your scenario, you could also modify another list (like DressCode if you are not using this) to Program Initative. You would not be able to add School and Location unless you modified the source unfortunately. I really want to add on an Advanced Search to the module and ultimately allow you to configure a form to extend the event fields, but this is a long way off I'm afraid!

Rodney - what about creating groups in the usergroup module, and then using them as event categories?

I could create a series of groups and then invite them to events, which would add a degree of categorization...

Thoughts?
