Hi,

I would like to add a new field for my events. The field will be a text field labeled "Alt Event Page URL". This will be a place where the user can enter a web address. I will add logic to the template such that whenever this field is not empty, the event title in my summaries will link to this URL. When the field is empty, the link will be the normal link to the civicrm event item.

So... what's the best way to add a new field and include it in the form for adding/editing events?

Many thanks,
Ryan

The easiest way would be to add new custom field extending Event - see http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=9307 for details. If you want to extend the data model, it's significantly more work - probably consists of adding new column in database and handling it in form class and template. There is no documentation for this kind of extensions, so you would need to take a look at the code for examples.

Thx,
