Title: Link calendar event to existing post
Post by: iksa on February 14, 2013, 12:17:41 PM
Is there a way (or a mod) to link a calendar event to a post that already exists? If not, I suggest to add a possibility to do so either when a new event is created or an event is being modified.

You can link a topic to a new calendar event (i.e. you create the event while linking it to the topic).
You cannot link an existing topic to an existing event... I think.

Yes, there is a way to link a new event to a new post, but if either of them already exists they can no longer be linked. I was requesting such feature (or mod), but for some reason this was moved here to support area.

There is currently no way to do this.

Moved back. :P

I think it would make sense.

The problematic part would be "locate" the post or the event.
I mean you'd need a calendar or a list of all the posts to find the one you want to link. Doable I think. Probably messy if I do it. :P

Listing the posts is not difficult, the merge dialogue already does it...

Yep, I was thinking at that one me too while writing (or just slightly after).

Actually, you CAN link an existing post to a new event or a New event to an existing post...

you just cannot (currently) link an existing post to and existing event

How can you link an existing post to a new event? Is there a way to link an existing event to a new post?

link existing post to new event:

open thread.
At bottom of thread is a button "Link to Calendar" (right next to "merge topics")


However, I was incorrect...   I can't find a way to link an existing event to a new post...
