Custom fields in search module

Hello,

I add some custom fields in event details using the file "fields.xml".

I would like to have some of those fields in the search module to have more accurate results. Is there a way to add this to the search module?

Additionaly, I have an issue using "tags" custom field. I can choose some tags during the creation of an event, but in the details list, I have IDs instead ot tags label.

Thanks in adavance for your help and happy new year!!

Hello

1. About adding custom fields to search module, unfortunately, it's not supported. If you need to add more fields, you will need to customize the module yourself. Also, you will have to customize the search code as well, so it's not really an easy job

2. About tags: We can only stores and displays the value of option, not text (what's posted when the form is submit). So if you want to display the tag title, you will have to customize code, too

Honestly, the custom fields for events are for basic usage only (like using some basic field types like textbox, text area, select, radio, checkboxes....) for displaying some extra information about the event. For advanced usage like Tags field, it does not work very well
