Calendar Events

[Tressa]

I plan to have my Calendar set for only Admin and Global Mods to add events, and have a board for members to submit events for approval to be added. With these settings, guests and members do not see the "New Event" button. Would it be possible to have a "Submit Event" button, linking to the "submit events" board, appear for those who are not admins or g mods?

Edit: Change the "Admin and Global Mods" to simply "Staff".

I would be interested in this also.

in the first couple lines of the Calender Template

add this

and enter the url to the Create Thread link in your Submit Event board

<div class="container calendar">
    <div class="title-bar">
        <ul class="controls"><li><a href="thenotablenook.freemessageboards.com/members?dir=desc&sort=posts">Submit Event</a>$[new_event_button]</li></ul>
        <h1 style="padding-left:100px;"><i>Calendar</i></h1>
    </div>

Thanks for the reply. I tried your suggestion. It looks ok when viewed by staff, but when viewed by anyone else the calendar itself is thrown out of alignment. I was hoping someone could show me how to redirect the existing button so that it linked to my selected board. Or maybe code an if/else statement using the existing "New Event" button if the user is staff, else linking to my selected board if the user is not staff.

Reset the Calendar template to default and the alignment is still off for guests. Even with templates I haven't touched. Guess I need to file a bug report.

I've worked with the template (Admin > Layout Templates > Calendar) again and think I have come up with what I want. The third line is all I changed. This removes the original button
 
$[new_event_button]
    and replaces it with one that links to the board where I want members and guests to post events to be added to the calendar.


<div class="container calendar">
    <div class="title-bar">
        <ul class="controls"><li><a href="http://rallytest.freemessageboards.com/board/4/event-calendar" target="_blank">Submit Event</a></li></ul>
        <h1>Calendar</h1>
    </div>
