Please expose Event Title field on Add class pages on Drupal, so User can
change info.

This is especially pertinent for simple changes, such as listing that a
class is in Spanish, by putting (ESP) after it, or renaming an Event
Templates for an individual events; especially Film Screenings,
to reflect that day's film.

You can change the Event Title after the fact in Civi, but it doesn't
update it in the Drupal calendar.

Likewise you can create an Event in Civi but it doesn't show up on the
Drupal calendar.

There is already a permission that exposes the Title field to Drupal users instead of using the pattern. Do that no meet the staff member's needs?

@kreynen - There is a title field, but it's hard coded (see screengrab), so can't be altered.

But yes, if this was available that would resolve the matter - assuming it updated CiviEvent title, or vice versa.

This isn't using https://drupal.org/project/auto_entitylabel or https://drupal.org/project/auto_nodetitle. You can't change the settings of pattern at the content type level. The code that fills in the title based on the pattern is managed by the .module...

http://drupalcode.org/project/civicrm_multiday_event.git/blob/refs/heads...

if (user_access('edit all events') && variable_get('civicrm_multiday_event_allow_title_override', 0)) {
  $form['title']['#required'] = FALSE;
  $form['title']['#description'] = 'This field is only visible to users with permission to edit all CiviCRM events. Leave it blank to auto-populate using this pattern [event type] - [startdate] to [enddate]';
} else {
  $form['title']['#type'] = 'hidden';
  $form['title']['#required'] = FALSE;
 }

The field description is accurate... "This field is only visible to users with permission to edit all CiviCRM events. Leave it blank to auto-populate using this pattern [event type] - [startdate] to [enddate]".

If the user has permission to edit all CiviCRM events and civicrm_multiday_event_allow_title_override is checked in the admin settings for the module, the title field is visible when creating and editing civicrm_multiday_event nodes.

@kreynen: I don't see the "civicrm_multiday_event_allow_title_override … in the admin settings for the module" but on <<your_site>>/admin/config/civicrm/civicrm-multiday-event but there is an "Allow Custom Titles" checkbox that sounds like it does the same thing.

I just checked that, and confirmed that users with permission to edit all CiviCRM events can now update Event title field.

Thanks.
