Display custom create form and onEventCreation

I'm trying to display my own form for creating an event. I am currently trying to handle the onEventCreation event and show my own form, but it doesn't appear as if the event is firing. Has anyone done something similar, is it even possible?

The best place for custom form placing is the showLightbox method - it is called each time when form need to be shown 

scheduler.showLightbox = function(id){
       //here you can show any custom form
};

The correct name of event - onEventCreated
Was it just a typo, or we have incorrect event naming somewhere in documentation?

Yes the documentation is off, it's named correctly under the list of events but when clicking it to see the example it is wrong there.  It seems that the showlightbox event is called when editing an existing event. I would like to display my own form instead of the event window that displays allowing you to enter some text.

You can use 
    scheduler.config.details_on_create = true;
    scheduler.config.details_on_dblclick = true;

it will force lightbox form rendering for both creating and edit operations. ( which means that showLightbox will be called in both cases ) 

Perfect, exactly what I needed thanks.
