 * Hi,
 * Where can I find a list of fields that make up the event custom post type?
 * Thanks,

 * What do you need them for? Post meta is used only as a data store and not intended
   to be accessed / modified directly (there is an API for that though): [http://codex.wp-event-organiser.com](http://codex.wp-event-organiser.com)

 * Thanks for the very prompt response.
 * I’d like to use a form/posting plugin I have (Toolset or Super Forms), that can
   submit custom post types, to submit Event Organiser events. Is this possible?

 * There is an extension for front-end event submissions.

 * Thanks Luke, but since the existence of an “event custom post type” is highlighted
   for this plugin, I’d like to know if I can harness my existing form/posting plugins
   which can handle CPTs, e.g. Toolset.

 * As Luke pointed out there is an extension. Otherwise, you should this function:
   [http://codex.wp-event-organiser.com/function-eo_insert_event.html](http://codex.wp-event-organiser.com/function-eo_insert_event.html)
   to create events.
 * The reason why is that dates are stored in a custom table. That function will
   handle it all for you, as well ensure all the appropriate data is stored in the
   post meta. You won’t be able to create an event based on post meta alone.
