How to add fields to EventAttendee

Hi Andrey,

Did you try to extend with your custom fields the EventAttendeeInfo class in Events module ?

It is being inside of the compiled CMS.EventManager.dll so I cannot change it

You should be able to add the fields to the module. If its locked for some reason you can go into the class table and change the showassystemtable boolean to true. Then you can add the fields. If you can't rebuild the code for the class, usually you can access your added items by a GetValue method or something of the sort for, instead of accessing the field directly on the object.

thanks for the try but as I mentioned in the topic description SetValue returns false and data is not stored. eventBooking module allows to extend event details but not event attendee. This is marked as not customizable. And CMS.Base does not contain methods which were available in Kentico 7

So you can create another custom table and store there related data to your EventAttendee. After Saving the EventAttendeeInfo object you should save then your data with corresponding ID of EventAttendee, next you should make some extended provider to retrive both data in one object.

yep that's what I'd done but then those fields aren't displayed in the EventManager module which allows to send invitation mails, display events and registered users and so on.

So I have to adjust that module as well in such case. Thus I am wondering is there simpler way of just adding those fields to EventAttendee and changing schema like it worked in previous versions.

It seems like no :(

Andrey,

You are correct with No there is not currently an easier way to do this. I have extended the Events Module extensively and a lot of it is very manual. There are even a few parts that are hard coded into the DLLs.

I have provided feedback to Kentico and hope maybe for more flexibility with version 9.
