Calendar Events

Yes, this is what I see as an admin. Regular members can see the holidays and birthdays but they cannot see events on the board index Info Center. They can see them in the calendar but not in the Info Center on the board index.

Ok I can see holidays on your forum...is an event supposed to be there as well?

Had you checked the calendar page as a guest, you would've seen the event

joec88, which version did you upgrade from?
Are you getting any errors in your error log? (Admin area > Error log)
Are all files up-to-date? (Admin area > Support and Credits > More detailed)

This one is a straight install of SMF 2.0 RC2. No upgrade involved at all. No errors in the error log. All files show 2.0 RC2 for the version.

Of course I did, it's not like I have an account on his forum.

I still don't see it though.

I see it just find to H, but the thing is there wasnt a post made as far as I can tell in the board index. Nor a notice in the Info center.

And that is the problem. I don't want to have to make a post to see the event in the info center on the board index. I want to create an event without a post but have the event show in the Upcoming Calendar events in the Info Center.

You can add it to the Holidays list, but otherwise an event is tied to a topic, no ifs or buts on that.

Hi!

I have exatcly the same problem. Normal Members can't see events without topic in the "Info Center". But Admins can see it....Sorry but this makes no sense. The default behaviour for version 1.x was that also normal members can see these events.
Is there any chance that this is behaviour is restored in the final version of SMF 2.0? Most of the time my members only want to post little events that don't require a complete topic but we can't use this tiny feature since 2.0 RC2.

Checking the calender page everytime for new events is annoying and adding everything as a holiday also..

Thanks in advance for any further replies.

Sorry for bumping but is there any chance to get this fixed in future versions. Or is there a definitive statement that the actual behavior will stay? In this case I would turn off the calender in my forum, so it would be nice to know...

Thanks in advance.

I agree, this behavior makes no sense. I would like Guests to be able to see events not linked to a post in the Info Center. Here is another request for a fix.

So one of the nonsense workarounds to this problem is to create a forum post per calendar event. I created a board not visible to Guests and all calendar events have a post on that board. I am very dissapointed to report that it did not work. So I made the board visible to Guests, and they still not get the Calendar events in the Info Center. No matter how I do it, Guest do not see calendar events in the Info Center.

Please fix this bug.

Ah, it's not just me then.
This has been niggling me for a while.
Let's hope they fix bugs around here a bit faster than my previous software... I changed to SMF mainly for that reason.

Ummmm...if it's tied to a topic why do they let you make the event without the post if the first place?
