I have a calendar that is for posting regional events.  I have posted instructions that require posting contact information for the event.  However, not everyone follows instructions.  LOL

I would like to add a required field for their email address so that I can contact them if I need to regarding their event posting.  

Could someone help me with the code?  I have no problem editing the code, I just don't know how to write it yet.  Thanks!

You don't need any special code, in Calendar Administration just go to:

Main Menu -> Customize Events Fields

Click on the "Add New Field" button.

Set the display name and unique field ID. Make it clear in the description that the field is required.

In the radio button list set:

Required:  Yes
Display in Add Form:  Yes
Display in details:  No
Searchable:  No

Use a text input type.

Now the e-mail address must be filled in to post the event. If you are approving events before they display on the calendar and the poster puts in an obviously fake e-mail you can delete the post.

You can also set up a required field in the user database so users only have to enter it once (when signing up for the calendar) and the administrator will has access to it.
