Maybe I’m the only person who uses the event categories in this manner, but I thought I’d take a stab in the dark anyway with this feature request.

I manage a review website for charitable nonprofits. Each reviewed charity can submit upcoming events, which are then added to the homepage, the events page, and their review page. Each charity has its own event category and that category, along with the event date, is how I sort them to display in the correct places. For instance, my default event list looks like this:

<ul class="eme_events_list">

<li class="events">

<ul class="event">

<li class="event_date">#_{F d, Y} [events_if tag="#ESC_{F d, Y}" notvalue="#ESC@_{F d, Y}"] #@_{- F d, Y} [/events_if]<br /> #g:#i#a - #@g:#@i#@a</li>

<li class="event_name">#_LINKEDNAME</li>

<li class="event_location">#_LOCATION, #_TOWN</li>

<li class="event_org">listed for #_CATEGORIES</li>

</ul>

</li>

</ul>

What I have been trying to figure out for several months are how I can turn #_CATEGORIES into a link that takes the visitor to the review page for that charity and how to turn #_LOCATION into a link that will take the visitor to the location’s website.

When adding/editing an event there is the option to have the single event linked to an external URL. When adding/editing an event category or location, there’s not an option to have them linked anywhere… I’d like that option and I’m hopeful I’m not alone in this.

What do you think; is it doable or am I asking for way too much here?
