I've posted several emails circling around this issue and I think I'm honing in on a solution. I need to extend the event type to include a select box with a list of nodes based on a users permissions that they are allowed to post events to. Categories won't work because they are not restricted by permissions. Events themselves are not limited in any way. I though about using the form tools to create a select list that based on content posting permissions only displays the navnodes they have access to post content to. However this won't work because there may be instances where a user belongs to a group that can only post events but not necessarily content to any specific navnode.
So here's my next idea. Create a table in the farcry database that will be used by the event posting form that will match a user against the navnodes they can post events to. This table would have to be maintained manually which is fine but that means that I need to build an admin interface to maintain it manually. I know that people extend the admin but this seems really out there to me based on what I know so far. Also still have an issue with how to use the formtools to create the array that would populate the select dropdown on the event form posting page. I assume it would be fttype=array or arraylist but not really sure I understand how to do this based on the documentation. Where does the array get its data from. Especially if its pulling from a custom table.
