Is there a way to have it where users can like sign up for events?  

One way to do would be a comment type system.  Where they could fill out a form to register for event?

If anyone has came up with a way to do this, would be greatly appreicated.

Put a HTML link to a page on your web site in the description, and use a form to handle the registration from that point.

I wouls like the user to regidter for events they see on the calendar.  I can add a link into another page with the registration form but I will also need to pass the event information othwise I will need to update both calendar and form

Plus I stil have to wiorry about user entry.

Is it doable to have the event pass along the inforamtion to the form ?

The event does not do anything, you can however make a link from the Event View page which could include any information stored in the event record. You would then need to make your form a script so it could retrieve those passed values and then enter them into the appropriate form fields.

Would it require me to modify the code to make a link from the event view ?  Or can I just creat a "Customize Event Fields" that will make the dynamic protion of the link ?

You would have to make the link yourself.

Each field of the event can be printed using code like:

<%= $EVENT->{'details'}->{Field_Key} %>

Field_Key being the key of the event field you want printed. Unfortunately those values may contain spaces which are not allowed in URLs so you'd have to URL encode them before printing into a link code using something like:

<%= &HTML::encodeHTML($EVENT->{'details'}->{Field_Key}) %>

OK.  I must not be the brightest bulb you have delt with this week.

Does the change happen in the perl code for the calendar script program, for the template I want to have this feature or can I just add a custom event field with that code ?

Sorry to be so out of it.

You have to add the code for the link to the template.

Are there tokens we can key on so that the URL constructed for linkage to the registration box is automatic?

E.g.

NOT: http://www.oursite.com/eventregister.php?eventname=constant

YES: http://www.oursite.com/eventregister.php?eventname=%TOKEN%

RSVP, thanks!

No. There is nothing you can include during the adding of a record which would interpose the event data itself into a field but such a system (aka 'plug-in') might be able to be created to allow it.

Or you could edit the templates to add any of the Event details data to a link URL as it was displayed to the user. Look at the way many (most?) of the URLs are defined in the default.html template, maybe they will give you some ideas?
