Hi guys

I have a field in my users database of Telephone number but for the life of me can't figure out how to display it in the event details.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

** I have a field in my users database of Telephone number but for the life of me can't figure out how to display it in the event details. **

That's because the user db information is not usually called up by the calendar display. The easiest way to accomplish it would be to add a Telephone number field to the event details database. If you also selected that new field to display, it would print out along with the other event details.

 :-[ Figured as much, Is there a way to get it in the event details in a simple manner that would not involve the input of the user ?

You'd have to make the new field in the event details db and then you could modify the calendar_admin.pl file (or better yet, make a plug-in) to alter the add_event part of the code to populate that new event field with user data the same way the script adds the author name, author ID and time to the details when posting the event. The lines that do those can be seen below.

Code:

elsif ($in{'command'} eq "add_event") {

...
$properties->{'author_id'} = $User->{'username'};
$properties->{'author_name'} = $User->{'name'};
$properties->{'time_added'} = time;
...
