Is there a built-in or easy way to have private custom data fields or groups for an event? When I say private I am picturing data which can be seen or edited on the admin side but not visible in the Event Info screen. I am thinking of things which you might want to track with an event that you don't want to share with participants, reservation numbers, internal contacts for the event, or other personal information that you want to keep with the event.

not available right now

you can hide the custom fields from the info page (where they are displayed) using the pageRun hook potentially

however it would be a good feature to add to the system. i suspect this will need some schema changes to make it happen

lobo,

Thanks again for the info. You and Dave have been great about answering the many questions I have recently posted in various forums.

OK for those interested, assuming you have a civicrmHooks.php file already setup for custom hooks here is the code I have that will remove or hide a Custom Data Group Titled "Internal Data" on the Event Info Page.

Code: [Select]

<?php
	function joomla_civicrm_pageRun ( &$page ) {
		switch (CRM_Utils_System::getClassName($page)) {
			case 'CRM_Event_Page_EventInfo':
				// follow code gets the Event ID if you want it... just remove the //
				//$eventID = $page->get('id');

				$template = &$page->getTemplate();
				$eventCustomData = &$template->_tpl_vars['viewCustomData'];
				
				$cdKeys = array_keys($eventCustomData);
				foreach ($cdKeys as $arKey) {
					$indivCustomData = current($eventCustomData[$arKey]);
					if ($indivCustomData['title']=='Internal Data') {
						unset($eventCustomData[$arKey]);
					}
				}
				break;
			default:
				//print_r($page);
		}
	}
?>

Probably a good way to put this in a future version of civiCRM would be to have a "Show on Event Info" property for the custom data group... then just not put that part in the array when building the Event Info data array.

I just discovered one very quick way of solving this in Drupal if you don't want to show any of your custom data to the public, just use permissions... It will hide everything, but that might work for some people, I did for me.
