Hi Neil,

Thank you for using our services.

You can add new fields to the events module using the Fluent API:

App.WorkWith()

.DynamicData()

.Type(typeof(Event))

.Field().TryCreateNew("NewStringField", typeof(string)).Done()

.Field().TryCreateNew("NewDateField", typeof(DateTime)).Done()

.SaveChanges(true);

Unfortunately the functionality to display the newly added fields for editing does not exist yet and you would have to set those fields using the Fluent API.

Then you can display the new fields by modifying the control templates of the events control as described in our Designer's Guide. Then you just need to add new field controls by listing the properties you have just created:

<sf:FieldListView ID="MyFields" runat="server"

Text="Custom Fields: " Properties="NewStringField, NewDateField"

WrapperTagName="li"

/>

Hi,

The data has been been inserted into sf_meta_fields I'm just not seeing the administration templates when entering through /sitefinity/Content/Events.

Hello Neil,

In the BETA 2 you can use the dynamic fields, but you cannot show them in the backend view. We add the dynamic fields through definition classes for a module inside Install and Initialize methods. We are changing the code and we will provide an option for adding dynamic fields to the UI in the next release. Currently this will require a new module and definition for it.
