I would like to know is there any way to replace the existing drop-down list, when using categories to filter the output.

I think it would be nice to have check-boxes, as this way you can select multiple event categories that you're interested in. Maybe even with some ajax, so you don't have to click 'update' button or such.

I'd like to add my voice to this request. This is one of the features that would really make Event work well in a number of situations.

It would also be useful if an event type which had multiple taxonomies associated, could have the taxonomies each appear as a separate selection set. So instead of having:

Vocab 1
-- item 1
-- item 2
-- item 3
Vocab 2
-- item a
-- item b
-- item c

We would have:

Vocab 1 Vocab 2
-- item 1 -- item a
-- item 2 -- item b
-- item 3 -- item c

This, combined with the ability to make multiple selections would make the module much more flexible.

The easiest way to start this is to put wrapper divs around these so that the CSS could move them into a table format.

BTW, you can do this already on create content with the Taxonomy Super Select module. I'm using it and it's great.

YOu can usee hook_form_alter to change event_taxonomy_filter_form as you like.

How to do that for us non-coders? :-)

non-coders will have to learn coding, I am afraid.

Check out http://api.drupal.org/api/head/file/developer/topics/forms_api.html

Anyway, I am not going to convert the dropdowns to checkboxes by default: won't fixing this.
