Thanks for the suggestion Roel, it works as you said, if it where possible to hide also the "venue" field my problem is solved, but waiting for a better solution that you may think it will be enough, at least for the development time...
By the way I'm using the italian translation and I see there are a few text still in English, if I can help what's needed is only get the ai-italiano.php file and complete the transaltion?
Cheers

Hi Luigi,
I will think of this smile
What maybe could solve part of your problem is the following:
On the Settings page, in the section Views, you can check the "Reduced event window" checkbox (at the bottom of the section). Thereafter when opening the Event window, only the upper (most important) part is shown. To get the lower part, you have to click the arrow.
Hope this helps.

Hi Roel, I've just started examining my problem, but I've found that the "new event" window has almost no style (as in css) at all. I try to backfollow to find the php code that creates this window, but there is too much code to find it. I see it's very well written, (I'm a seasoned system engineer, doing my code from 1972 Cobol down to current web development, used to Assembly, Javascript, asp, c#, etc. etc., so I understand when it's good or not) but it's a lot...
My question is: is it possible that you just add css classes during creation of that windows, so that some user (like me...) can just write a small css to hide the undesired fields? Just as an example: inside the generated page there is "<div class='evtCanvas'>", followed by a table. If that table had classes on TR or TD html then hiding some of those rows would be very easy...
What do you think of this?
Thanks again for you cooperation.
Luigi

Hi Roel,
I did really mean the Event windows with the form to add/edit events. My problem is there are too much fields, I don't want to add any, just hide some. If, as you say, there is no way provided do you think I could hide them using CSS attibutes like "visibility:hidden" or "display:none", without tampering too much and without destroying the appearance of the form?
Your suggestions are welcome.
Cheers
Luigi

Hi Luigi,
On the Settings page, in the section Views (the admin_guide says "Events, which is wrong),  the first line, i.e. Event Templates, can be used to specify which event  field should be shown in the various calendar views.
However you wrote that you want to customize the appearance of the "new event" window. I don't know what you exactly mean by "new event" window, but I think you mean the Event window with the form to add/edit events. If this is the case, I have to disappoint you, because this window can not be customized.
If I misunderstood your post, please let me know.

Hi, just found this very good software (vers. 5.2.1M) while searching for calendar mgmt to be used in one of my Joomla site, but...
I was searching how to customize appearance of "new event" window, and found in admin_guide.html at chapter "Changing the Lay-out of Events" in "3. advanced functions" some kind of answer, then when trying I didn't understand... the manual says:
This can be done via the 'Event template' under Events by specifying a sequence of numbers in the range 1 - 7, where each number represents an event field.
but when going with admin login in "setting" and scrolling until "events" then "views" I can't find this, they are 3 cells under "Event templates": "General view", "Upcoming view" "Hover box", but with digits 1 to 8.
How can I change this? I would exclude some of the standard fields...
Cheers and TIA
