    Hello,

    first of all a big compliment and thank you – PODS is great.

    I’m considering completely redesigning a website that I’ve already heavily integrated PODS into. Unfortunately, I can’t yet estimate whether this is even possible in the form I’m thinking of.

    I currently use for the website:
    – event (Custom Post Type)
    – event_location (Custom Taxonomy)
    – event_type (Custom Taxonomy)

    There are different organizers for the events and each organizer needs its own template for the display.

    I know how to create POD templates (and I use a lot of small template blocks), but unfortunately I can only assign a single template to the “event” pod under “Auto Template Options”.

    That’s why I always have to create a new WordPress page for each new event that an organizer offers. Then I have integrate the appropriate template (or mostly different, small template blocks) into this news page. I think – basically, this is unnecessary, double work, because everything that is required for the display is actually already available in Pods templates.

    Is it somehow possible to add a field to the “event” pod as a drop-down list that lists all available templates and offers them for selection?

    A multiple selection field for templates (f.e. small template blocks) in the “event” pod would be very helpful, which I could also sort in the order to be displayed using drag & drop.

    Would this be a new Pods feature or is this feature already available in Pods and maybe I just haven’t discovered it yet?

    I would be very happy about your support.

    Hi @knubew

    Sorry for my extremely late reply, not sure how/why I missed this topic!

    Your use-case actually sounds like it might simply need The Events Calendar.
    It sounds like this plugin would suit your project perfectly!

    Cheers, Jory

    Absolutely no problem.

    Thank you for the helpful tip.
    I’ll take a closer look at the Event Calendar plugin.
