Hi all,

I have downloaded event module. But the event only provided a little information such as start day, end day. I want to add more information for one event, for example location, event price, member type...

How can I do?

Thank you so much

I'm relatively new to Drupal, so there might be better solutions, but here's what I did in a similar situation:

  1. Download and install the content creation kit module. This will let you add new fields to content types that you create. Note that some fields will work better if you also download CCK field modules for that type of field (images, links, email, dates for example).
  2. Create your new content type (Don't use the content type supplied by the events module. My experieince is that you are limited in who can edit which nodes if you do so. This suprised me and caused problems for my users) and make it an event by changing Show in event calendar from never to either of the other two options. Some people would say you should not use events for your new content type, instead use CCK date fields and the calendar view module. But there doesn't seem to be any consensus about this, so I'm just telling you what worked for me.
  3. After you add your content type you can edit it (edit link) then add fields to it (add field tab).

Good luck.
