I have the event module installed and I need to be able to add a custom drop down field. I need an HTML select with Option A, Option B, Option C, all of which I can customize. Is there a way to do this?

Hi Vanhail,

Yes, you will want to use the CCK module to be able to accomplish this. CCK (short for Content Construction Kit) allows you to define custom node types with whatever fields you would like.

In order to get a dropdown like this, you will want to define a new content type, set it to appear in the event calendar view so that it will get the event start/end date fields, and then add a new field to it of type Text -> Select List.

Cheers,
Ben

I have CCK installed, I don't see any way to create a custom drop down where I can pick the values for the drop down. Can you give me a little more detail on how to do this? I'm fairly new to Drupal. Thanks for the help.

Anyone have a solution to this? I've been looking to no avail...

In case you're still looking for a solution, go to Content Management->Content Types. Add a new content type, then edit it. In the tabs on top click on Add Fields, and you'll be able to add a drop down.
