Is there a reason why only the civicrm_validate hook is called when creating an event (the event info page)? The expected hooks are trigger when you click save on the location page. I thought it was because you can cancel the event creation on the location page but the event is already created before the location page is loaded. Also pressing cancel doesn't actually cancel the creation of the event it just ignores the location setup step.

I need to trigger the post hook after the event is created and before the location page is loaded. I have a custom field on the event info page to select an organization which I then want to use to set the default location information. Any suggestions on how I can achieve this if the hooks aren't available?

While on the subject, is it possible to create an event without having to go to the location page at all? i.e. We have a select field on the event info page where you select a room for the event and the address information could be then populated from that information using a hook/api.

Thanks,
Tom

Sounds like an interesting and useful feature. Could you share the code ?
