Hi all. I have questions about DB architecture and event templates.

In civicrm_event stored template_title only. How can I get template_id from which was copied event data? I need this to cascade update of all events after parent template was changed. template_title is bad idea because it can be changed by user and reference will be losed. What about alter template_id into civicrm_event? I tried to do it myself but can't find a way to pass template_id to hook_postProcess.

Only way I found without DB hacks is use hidden custom value 'template_id' and hook_postProcess (or hook_buildForm and setDefaults?).

Thanks in advance for any help.

I had found that template_id accessible in $_POST from hook_civicrm_post and hook_civicrm_pre. So I choose DB hack of civicrm_event and UPDATE query with hook_civicrm_post. In any case thanks in advance for any comments or help.

UPD: I resolved my issue by adding template_id in CRM/Event/DAO/Event.php fields() instance. Now my civicrm_event.template_id(int 10) fills automatically. Hope this experience will be usefull for anyone
