linking an event to a candidate?
June 25, 2009, 07:41:30 pm
Greetings. Any advice on how to relate an event (fundraiser) to a person (candidate), so that a custom event field could be displayed linking to some basic info on the candidate? If the candidate were a 'contact', could the contact be associated with an event?

Thanks for any ideas!

In 2.3 we are introducing the notion of a "contact reference" custom field which can potentially be used for the below use case. I suspect the first version will be limited in its "out-of-the-box" functionality

If you just want a link to a content page for a given candidate - you could simply include that in the event description. Or create a custom field group "used for" = Event, and create a custom link "field" there (it will display in the Event Information page for that event).
