 * Hi Angelo
 * Thanks for getting back to me. I think I can manage the code part (I hope 😉 
   But I was wondering where I should add the code into Event Manager. I don’t want
   to hack the code so it breaks when I update EM. Should I put the code in the 
   template file? I’m guessing I need some kind of a hook or filter so I can either
   override EM adding the db or to ammend variables passed through the Post request.
 * Many thanks

 * Sorry let me be a little clear I would like to add terms to a taxonomy. For example
   if I had a taxonomy called “Genres”
 * In the database I had the following terms:
 * Jazz, Funk and rock Rock
 * The user adding an event wanted to associate some genres with their event and
   typed in
 * Jazz and Soul
 * Jazz already exists in the db as a term so it would just be linked to the event(
   custom post type) but Soul doesn’t exist so that would be added as a term under
   Genre.
 * I would like to have multiple input text fields to add Genre/s (taxonomy terms)
   and each text field to auto-complete with suggestions from the database.
 * One other problem I wanted to solve which is related to this is the issue of 
   spelling genres in different ways for example you could have hip hop, hiphop,
   hip-hop.
 * Before Event Manager writes to the database to associate a term with the event
   I would like it to check something, lets say you have this in the DB table:
 * Term ID Term Name AKA ID (aka also known as)
    1………….Hip-hop…… 2………….Hiphop……..
   1 3………….hip hop…….1
 * What I would like to do is add a custom field to the taxonomy terms so I can 
   check if the text that was typed in wa Hiphop or hip hop. If it is then rather
   than add Term ID 2 or 3 to the event it would add Term ID 1. I think it would
   be pretty straightforward to write code for this but I don’t understand at what
   point I would add my code or what hooks I could use to treat the data before 
   Event Manager writes to the DB
 * Does that make sense? Hope that was a little clearer and sorry for the long msg
 * Many thanks
