This is indeed a good idea. It will be cool to easly see all the (upcomming) events in the calendar!
I am now giving an explaination of how this will work. Don't know if it is needed or something. And I also don't know what the real question is in this topic.. But just in case.
It can be done on this forum if I am right. I just tried it on my own forum:
One of the forum administrators need to tune some settings on the admin "Calendar" page. Like that events must be linked to a post. And things like where to show the event (in calendar, on the main forum page or both), how much days the event can span maximum. And at last a default board for the event posts.
Once that is tuned, the permissions need to be set. There are a few options:
- Give everyone the permission to create and edit events on their OWN topics.
- Give all board moderators the permission to create and edit events on topics (the moderator MUST have permission to edit the main post of the topic. They can only create events in the board they are moderator off. This includes the non-event boards and moderators).
- Make a new membergroup for event managers so they can create and edit all events on topics. But only on topic where they got permission over to edit the main post. That means that this is usefull in combination with a board moderator rank.
I think the last option will be the best.
At last. How to add an event once you got permission. Go to the specific post you want an event on and you got permission on to edit the main post. On the bottom there is a link "Link to calendar". You will come on a page where you can edit the main post (if not needed, just don't edit the post) and where you can add a event title, event date and event span. Multiple events can be added each topic!
I hope it will come
