Issue Summary
Is it possible to add volunteer time slots to any event type, instead of just the one that is created by the module?
Comments

Well, it's *possible* in an abstract sense, but it is not possible with the code currently in the module. Perhaps you could outline the use case you have in mind.
#2
Well, for learning purposes I'm developing a dance community website, which includes classes, practice sessions, and dance parties.
I'd like to be able to create a content type (I'm using flexinode if that makes a difference) for those three different types of events, and allow people to volunteer for each of those... So I'd like more granularity of event types than the pre-created 'event with volunteer timeslots'
Ideally, I'd also like to have timeslots for multiple roles: Door watching time slots, food replenishing time slots, etc.
I'd have implementation be similar to event repeat, where there's a check box available in the content type definition for 'allow volunteer time slots', where event repeat has its 'allow repeat events' checkbox (or whatever the exact syntax is)
Is that a clear enough description? I have absolutely no idea how much work would be involved with this idea

what you want would require a substantially different underlying data structure.
Since I wrote this module to satisfy my specific needs, you'll either need to adapt this or write your own (or pay someone to do it). I'm not a very experienced module developer, so to get things to their current state (including some proposed but not yet committed features) has probably required 50-60 hours of my time.
