Moderators edit calendar permission

[khigh]

OK - the manual is just wrong or my install is broken or something.

It says there are calendar permissions under the permission tab, but there are not.

All I can find for calendar permissions are in Calendar settings, and they are only Administrator, Global Moderator, and Regular User? where do I put for board moderators to add calendar events for their boards?

What am I doing wrong? at this point it could be anything because I've turned my brain to mush going around in circles on this.

Thanks for looking.

There most certainly ARE calendar permissions in the permissions section
Calendar    
View the calendar          
Create events in the calendar          
Edit events in the calendar
   Own events:          
   Any events:

Considering that posting a new event into the calendar is not a board level permission, you can't restrict it the way you want without some complex coding, I think.

All right

I'm using a custom theme. I guess it broke it.

Thanks for looking.

oh yeah....   right..

You can either allow users to create events or not. You can not limit one usergroup to one board and another usergroup to another board.

Which part of 'SMF's design does not support this' leads you to this conclusion?

[khigh]

OK - I spoke wrong

I wasn't trying to limit them to JUST their boards. I don't care about that.

Any board moderator could post a calendar event.

The broken part is that what the manual says is not jiving with what my eyes are seeing.

[Arantor]

I don't know what you're doing wrong but it's definitely there. This still wouldn't be broken by a custom theme however...

[khigh]

Yeah it's there for Regular Members, but not Moderators. And not from the global admin permissions where the manual says it's located.

I just duct-taped a hack together by making a new invisible secondary membergroup called "Board Moderators", adding all my moderators to it separately, and then giving that group the permission.

It seems to be working.

[Arantor]

It won't be there for moderators. It is not supposed to be available for moderators.

The moderator group is not a real group. You only get that group added to users when those users are inside boards. Consequently, only board permissions can be applied. Post to calendar is not a board permission, therefore it cannot be applied to the moderator group...

[khigh]

All right thanks,

That's starting to make a bit of sense now - I was just having a rough time with what I was seeing was "supposed" to be there not being there. It wasn't really clear that there was an excepted group - the one I wanted.

Sounds like I did it exactly the best possible way then.

Thanks for looking.

Indeed you did
