Done. Got some stuff to do this morning: Advanced poll for federal election, take bike into the shop, and hair appointment. So, won't be here for most of the morning. Only here now because of issue with bike.

[Daniel Abrams]

BTW, I go done earlier what you mentioned. How is it now?

[Hollis Brown]

Uh, let's see. I created an event with option [Neither]. When I go back to edit, I get the same instructions as if I was adding.

[Start Date and Time] and [End Date and Time] MUST be on the same day. You have 3 options:

Option 1. If you are creating a single day event, you have the option to add Sub-Events. Simply select the Number of Sub-Events below. The Sub-Events will be automatically generated. They will be cloned 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 Sub-Event(s).

Option 2. If you are creating a multiple day event, 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 cloned 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 Sub-Event(s): 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.

* Only applicable to Parent Events (and not Sub-Events and Additional Days).
* Event Fees, Event Emails, Event Attendees are managed via Parent Event. People signup via Parent Event which includes Sub-Events and/or all days for the Parent Event. All inclusive.

Which option will you be applying:

Maybe that's okay. I'll keep playing with it.

I'll havea look at those instructions. They proably have to be updated when editing a listing. They were originally written for when adding.

[Hollis Brown]

This is starting to shape up!

• I created one-day event
• Went back to edit and add one day
• I didn't know what changing the date on that field would do. "Does it affect the existing one day event or does it affect the date I'm adding?" I changed it to a later date. I think it was supposed to change the parent date, but even though I now have an end date one week after the start date, it only shows on the calendar as one day.

I guess what I'm saying is that adding day or subevent might be better on a different screen.

Assuming that I'm a chapter admin, I don't think I would understand the word "clone" in this application. I get it when I'm creating a different new event (next month's meeting).


How do we improve this process?


How about when admin selects add day(s) the only editable fields are those that affect the new days.


Then when they select add subevent the only dates available are within the parameters of the parent event.

[Daniel Abrams]

Okay, good thoughts. I'll think it over, and revise in the morning for you have a look.

[Hollis Brown]

Semantic question:

If we use the term "parent," should the subevent be called "child"? If we like "sub-event," should we use "primary" or "main event"? ...or does that matter?

[Daniel Abrams]

I don't know. Give that some thought too.

[Hollis Brown]

This is gonna be kool!

[Daniel Abrams]

I agree. I'm really excited about this. We are making the Events module much more versatile and cool!Gotta go, but work on this in the morning. It'll take 3 - 4 hours. Talk soon.

[Daniel Abrams]

How is it now?

[Hollis Brown]

I like the concept! I added one day and got one child. I added two children and got two more for a total of one parent and three children.

Not sure I like parent child. Is main event - subevent better? Does it matter?
