Okay, working on both of these . . .

[Daniel Abrams]

I create a three-day Event.

Then I [Add] three days. I can choose from entire calendar. Seems like I should only be able to choose from those three Days.
Note: There are two possibilities.
1. Event Start & End Dates not set. In this case the whole calendar should be available.
2. Event Start & End Dates set. In this case only those dates within the Event range should be available.

Then I [Add] Session to a particular Day. I can choose any of the three Days. Seems like I should only be able to Add Session to the Day that I chose (+).

Looking at it . . .

If I try to add a Session or Break to an existing Day, I'm limited to the days assigned to the Event. Should be limited to the Day (single day). Is that what you mean?

Yes. Otherwise it's confusing.

Fixed. Starting on the other one . . .

This [You need to be logged in] pop-up isn't working.

What were you doing when you got that popup?

I knew you were going to ask that.

I don't know how long I can walk away while logged in. Sometimes I can come back tomorrow and I'm still logged in; sometimes not. This morning--not.

I went to save a change and was notified that I had to be logged in to perform that function.

Fixed.

I am liking this more and more...

An Event with no Days has a blue [Add Days] below it. The blue message says "need to add a at least one Day."

Is that right? Can we have an event that is determined by just the Days (no times) of the Event?

[Hollis Brown]

Add event
- I can select from entire calendar for either Event Start and End Dates, (+) or [Add Days]. That's good.
- If I Add Event Start and End Dates, I should only be able to select within that range for (+) or [Add Days]. That's true except for one little thing. If I Add Event Start and End Dates without refreshing the page, (+) and [Add Days] still give me the whole calendar. Once I refresh the page, then I'm properly limited to the range defined by the Event Start and End Dates.

Correct. Not following.

Correct. Not following.

If you agree that we can have an Event with no Days, why does the blue box say "need to add at least one Day?"

No, I agreed that you need at least one day. You want Days optional. If no Days, then no Sessions or Breaks.

[Hollis Brown]

I'm envisioning something completely simple--no Days, no Sessions, no Breaks--not even times. Real Simple--just Start and End Date. It would provide flexibility. Admin may want to do something that we haven't considered. Selecting a date tells us where to put it on the Calendar. Admin uses Summary, Description and Details to flesh it out without our more elaborate Days, Sessions and Breaks process.

What do you think?

[Daniel Abrams]

Okay, how is it now?

[Hollis Brown]

Now you say it's a single-day event. Is that right? As it is, I can set independent Start and End Dates.

Perhaps we were better the way it was. Before it shows on the Calendar, must define at least one Day.

Sorry. I think you were right.

[Daniel Abrams]

I agree. Put back the way it was. I'll look at other post shortly.

Maybe this isn't such a big deal. I was imagining the page auto-refreshing after each edit. Perhaps we want to be able to make a bunch of edits and then refresh.

Part of this discussion, though, is what happens when Admin changes a Session or Break that is outside the Day parameter. Right now we're giving them an error message but letting them do it anyway. When they go ahead and set the time, there is nothing reminding them of the error. Perhaps, rather than the error we give them now, how about there being some kind of message on the page. I don't know what that would be--maybe the background color of a time that is outside the time parameters of the Day. Or how about not letting them do it wrong. They would be forced to change that parameter that they're in conflict with first.
