When adding Event I get this instruction:

[Start Date and Time] and [End Date and Time] MUST be on the same day. If this event is a Multiple Day Event, you can add Additional Days and/or Child Events (sub-events) later. For now, we are only considering the first day of the event.

Good, but I'm getting same instruction on Edit page. It doesn't apply there.

Looking at this now  . . .

How shouild the instruction be worded?

[Hollis Brown]

I guess that instruction depends on what we decide here:

Under Add Day/Child Event, I get:

You have 2 options:

Option 1. You have the option to add Child Events. Simply select the Number of Child Events below. The Child Events will be automatically generated. They will be copied from the Parent Event: same Title, Summary, Description, Details, Start Date and Time, and End Date and Time as the Parent Event. Later you can edit the Child Event(s).

Option 2. You have the option to add Additional Days. Simply select the Number of Additional Days below. The additional days will be automatically generated. They will be copied from the pareny event: same Title, Summary, Description, Details, Start Date and Time, and End Date and Time as the Parent Event. Later you can edit the Additional Days: required in order to change Start Date and Time, and End Date and Time such that they exist on different days than the Parent Event (first day).

* Event Fees, Event Emails, Event Attendees are managed via Parent Event. People signup via Parent Event which includes Child Events and/or all days for the Parent Event. All inclusive.

Which option will you be applying:

Note spelling error on second line of Option 2: "pareny"

Seems like this would be a good time to select future dates. I have seen Admins get confused by this, not understanding which day they are editing. Rather than cloning a bunch of identical Days, how about choosing dates and creating almost identical Day, but with correct Dates? I think this will avoid a lot of confusion.

[Hollis Brown]

Let me take another run at this.

Step one - Create Day I
Step two - Don't Clone Day I as Days II and III. Rather:

• Select number of days
• Get prompted for dates and times of additional days
• Day I is cloned with all identical data except Date and Time

This way Admin is not confused when faced with Three identical Events.

[Daniel Abrams]

Okay, keep as is, but just add ability of admin to add Start andf End Date/Times when adding Days or Child Events via the Add Day / Child Event popup. Yes?

[Hollis Brown]

Yes

[Daniel Abrams]

Before I do that (pretty big job which will take until tomorrow), have a look ay Add Event and Edit Event. Made some changes. How is it now?

[Hollis Brown]

What am I looking for?

[Daniel Abrams]

Trivial spelling error, but more importantly the "instruction" when adding or editing events.

[Hollis Brown]

Not sure what you're asking me to look at. Option 2, though, is too complicated, but will change after you're through with what you're doing.

I knew that, but now that you put them side by side like that I see the difference. And now that I've had all evening to think about it, it makes more sense. Good.

Note: It must be difficult being as patient with me as you are.

[Daniel Abrams]

I say the say thing to my wife Tomorrow, I'll do the other: choose Start and End Date/Time for each Day or Child Event being added. Gonna take up most of the day.

[Daniel Abrams]

Not ready to test, just look at. Have a look at the Add Day / Child Event popup. How is it? But, don't try it yet.

[Hollis Brown]

That's it!

[Daniel Abrams]

Done. How is it?
