I think the event module is great, however there is one requirement I have which I don't think is handled. This is to provide an event display filtered by event creator. It seems quite likely that in some contexts one one might only be interested in the events of one particular user among several, and thus one would like to suppress all the others. I don't see the taxonomy or node type filters being appropriate solutions in this case, the event user is I believe a further and orthogonal filtering dimension.

Conceivably the Views2 module might offer an approach to the problem, however I don't really want to go down that road.

Anyone else with this requirement, or have a potential solution? I've looked at the Event module code, and it looks at first sight to be quite a big job to extend it, though I might be prepared to do it if there was major support emerging for this enhancement.

I've been wrestling with this myself. I'm actively working to find a solution in 5.x. I'll share if and when I find something.

Title: Event filter by event creator » Two possibilities

Here are two possibilities for you.

1. I moved to the Calendar module. Very easy to limit by author. Downside for me? No easily repeatable events.

2. You might look into the Content Access module. By limiting access to content types to the author only, you might get what you want.

I think this should be done through views.
