Hi,

I have not much experience in drupal and also openpublish but much familiar with PHP/CakePHP.
However I can play with basic functionality of drupal like Blog, Articles, Events, View, Customize modules etc. But now I Got stuck in a functionality where I need to get data of events from an Event DB.

I am using openpublish event content type and added some new fields to it. Now when I will create a new event, there should be a link "Get events" which will populate a pupup with a list of events from Event DB and when I will select an event then popup will be closed and all available field of that event will be filled in add event form.

Is there any existing module for it or I have to create a module for it? Any Help is much appreciated.
Also I need a text review system for events (A review link below event) or can I use comment instead of review.

Thanks in advance.

when you say "Now when I will create a new event, there should be a link "Get events"" do you mean you populate a list yuourself?
If you added an extra cck field to it, make sure you adjust node-event.tpl.php and it's preprocessor.

For review i'dd use the comment system

Thanks Ronald,

Actually I have to build a movie publishing site with events and news. Admin can create events and these events will list on event page. But I need an additional functionality according to which :There are some reporters or journalists who will upload events (event's title,Descriptions,images etc.) directly in database.
Now whenever admin will create new events he will have 2 options, Either enter events fields manually or select newly uploaded events uploaded by reportes from that database. If admin select an event from that database than all available fields of event will be filled in event add form and rest of fields will be filled by admin. Thats it.

For now I am overriding event create form and putting a button in it, which will populate a popup with all available events.

Any idea how to do this ?

By the way thanks to assure me about review system.

Thanks
