Custom data in EventList frontend event submission form

This is (a quickly written and) the last planned post of the EventList 1.0RC Component for Joomla 1.5 customization series, and in response to Junkah’s request. It explains how to add custom fields in the event submission form; the example below is a text field where the number of available places can be specified. The example only covers the process of saving the submitted number in the database, so that it can be kept for future reference. If you wish to prevent further registration of guests once the number has been reached, then you will have to write some extra code for that purpose, but as I said this is beyond the scope of this post.

My apologies for not having all the free time I’d like to, for adding new contents more often and for writing with more details. Back to university, it’s all about priorities. It will be like this for some months, but I will do my best to keep up the knowledge sharing!
