Hi,

The current flag for featured events is just an alternative way to filter events on a satellite. It could be much more powerful if you could:

* Use a token (say "[FEATURED]") that rendered as "Featured" or nothing depending on the featured event flag. This could be used with formatting to flag featured events in a view or, more powerfully, as class="[Featured]" to allow CSS control of fonts, colours etc. for featured events. At the moment, you can't highlight featured events at all unless you have a separate list of them.

* Filter on "featured" AS WELL as categories in module settings. At the moment, there is no way to have a module showing featured events in certain categories as you can only filter by category OR featured events.

With these (simple?) changes you could really highlight featured events anyway you wanted.

Cheers

Great suggestion!

A new token [FEATURED] is now added.

you can use this in many ways, as you said.

For example:
1. [FEATURED|<img src="http://www.invenmanager.com/portals/0/featuredevent.gif">] Renders a featured image for featured event, nothing for normal event.

2. class="[FEATURED|featuredclass|normalclass]" Render different CSS class depends on whether the event is a featured one or not. you need to add both "featuredclass", and "normalclass" in your Stylesheet of course.

Thanks.

Excellent! When you say there is "now" a token, I assume you mean we'll get it in the next release at the end of this month.
