TOPIC: Limit Fields to those used in event - selction

Hello, I'm working on my websites 8th event using DT Register and it has been great. One thing I am noticing is that besides the basic CC information fields, I have to create some new fields for each event (record keeping requirements). This is a two-fer request.
1) That in each event you can select to only view the fields involved with the event. I would say drop down boxes similar to the Event Listing page (All Events, Published, Unpublished) but make it tied to the "Used for event?" list. (All Fields, This Event, None, Group, Individual, Both).

2) Would it be possible to arrange the fields to display a particular way for each event? That way if I pull a field from one event to another I am not having to reorder it in the main list, to satisfy my needs in the event listing.

There might be a better way to do these items, this is just how I imagine them.

Hi Cageman,

Glad you bought this up - See my thread from February...

I think for sites with lots of different events we do need a change to how the custom field system is implemented... I often find myself deleting annual events when they pass, just to 'clean up' the fields and then recreate them again the next year... shouldn't need to do that!

I'm sure this is a major re-work of the code though - but hopefully with all our support the developers can take a serious look at it (after Joomla 1.7 compatibility of course and then a well deserved mini-break for them!)

andybon,
thanks for the reply. I will admit I missed your thread when I searched the forum, I would have added my request there and added one more to my list. The ability to add a field from the event screen when needed.
