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.

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.

Refreshing after which edits? The in-page edits are automatic.You mean the popup edits?

I mean in-page edits. They may be automatic, but the (+) and the [Add Days] do not recognize them until the page is refreshed.

Refreshing the page is not ideal for a number of reasons. But we need a fix. I think I have one. Complicated. Going to work on this tonight. Should have something by later tonight ot tomorrow latest. So, pause there. Gotta avoid interruptions while I work this out because it so complicated.

[Daniel Abrams]

Done, and ready to test.

[Hollis Brown]

Step in the right direction, but:

Oops!
No required [Event ID] passed!

[Daniel Abrams]

Typo. Fixed.

[Hollis Brown]

I like the way you're handling the Status. That's real good!

Will keep looking, but haven't found anything so far.

What's next--front end?

If so, question becomes: how do we deal with Break within Session? Say we have two Sessions in one Day. Plumbing before lunch and Electrical after lunch. Morning is 9 - 12:00; afternoon is 1 - 5:00 and lunch is 12 - 1:00. What about morning coffee break? We don't want to break plumbing into two Sessions. 

[Daniel Abrams]

Before I look at the other, I want to be sure the Admin has completed and passed testing since it affects the Calendar.

[Hollis Brown]

Agreed.

I have tested the most recent and it looks good. In class till 6:00. Home by 8, but exhausted. Well test from beginning to end and inside to out this evening and tomorrow.

What else do we have at this point?

[Daniel Abrams]

What else do we have at this point?

You mean what else we have to do at this point? If so, just testing. I think Admin :: Manage Events is complete. After testing complete, work on Calendar. After that, test the Events process in the front-end.

[Hollis Brown]

Yep, so let me get after it.

Created Event

Tried again and it worked.

[Hollis Brown]

This is kinda weird. I Add Event. Then (without setting Date), I changed Status to Active. I get green confirmation. Then seconds later I get a red Error. It does not change back to Inactive.

[Hollis Brown]

I create Event.
Then click in End Date field, but don't enter anything. Change my mind and click anywhere. Get message:

Oops!
Invalid [Date and Time] entered

This may be irrelevant, but reality is I didn't enter anything. Tried entering text, got same message. Won't hurt my feelings if you ignore this one.
