I am very new to CiviCRM but what I would like to do is have a field in the events tab under the profile page that would total all the hours a user has attended events such as workshops.

Is this doable?

In 2.1 there is a hook for calculated custom fields that you can use: http://civicrm.org/node/356

Thanks Lobo, To which file would I implement this. I am really new to this and not really knowing where to start. I feel a little overwhelmed.

now I am starting to wonder do I add it to a PHP file or is it something accomplished through the administration of CiviCRM

Yes you do. You might want to wander over to the drupal developer docs area and read about hooks. CiviCRM hooks are exactly the same as drupal hooks (and u need a module to implement these hooks etc)

There is a sample module: drupal/civitest.module.sample which shows a few simple implementations of a few hooks

Thanks Lobo, where would I find the drupal/civitest.module.sample. Is it part of the CiviCRM install or is in the Drupal docs somewhere
