I am trying to extend the User Model with Events. 1 Event is no problem following the great video. But i don not want 1 event but multiple. However when i change it from hasOne to hasMany it errors. (As you can see i am a starter and also from another country so i do not know much about october and i type very poor English!) Still i am looking for some guidance (probably it has something to do with Yaml) cause i am lost Thanks for the help!

I think you are not talking about "Events" but about custom profile fields and models. Check this video - https://vimeo.com/123489421

Yes custom profile called Events which has to hold multiple events. I check all the video's but i am lost cause the way i see it i should edit the yaml file in in the User Model but this according to the video bad practice. Because when this module is updated i loose my changes. So is there a way to make this work? Or should i use a model in between and extend that?

you can extend RainLab.User with your own model and add multiple events for that or you can add $hasMany directly to RainLab.User model by extending it, after that you simply need to use "extendFormFields"... Check above video and video about extending RainLab.User plugin.

If you need further help, I recommend you post your extend-code (Model::extend(...)) and other relevent files. Which yaml file are you refering to? If you extend the User model you dont work with yaml files, but set the fields directly in PHP code.

Dear alxy thanks for the help. This is my controller. Before i get comments about you have to fill in the tabs. I know but i want to be able to fill in multiple events so how do i fill in this field so on the backend i get a list of all the events and a add button so i can add them?

someone got a answer?

Hey you need to add the the relation fields like so.

    UsersController::extend(function($controller){

        if(!isset($controller->implement['Backend.Behaviors.RelationController']))
            $controller->implement[] = 'Backend.Behaviors.RelationController';

        $controller->relationConfig  =  '$/veste/camping/controllers/users/config_relation.yaml';
    });

Was this issue ever solved, im having a similar issue?
