Events App

Drew I wonder if you could clarify as Im just looking at using the events app, but currently it does not use the new centralised categories app, is this likely to be upgraded ?

If not can you advise how we only allow a single event category to be selected, default seems to allow multiple events (check box control) ? and cannot find a way to modify this via templates ?

We have no current plans to upgrade the events app, it's old but has limited usage. We may in future.

I think categories is set to multiples right now.

A solution might be to add a new select list to perch/templates/events/event.html so allowing only one selection, eg.

<perch:events id="course_time" type="select" label="Time of course"
options="AM, PM, Full day, Evenings" allowempty="false" required="true" />

Then use perch_events_custom() to filter the results: https://docs.grabaperch.com/functions/events/perch-events-custom/
