Forum .LRN Q&A: Re: Bugs in OpenACS Calendar Module - I would like to fix.

Andrew,

Thanks for the reply. I think the best thing would be for me to explain again what is not happening and you could tell me whether this is in fact a function of incorrect use rather than a bug! 😊

1. Installs and mounts instance of Calendar package.
2. Creates two groups - group 'Family' and group 'Friends'
3. Grant permissions for both groups to use package instance.
4. Sets up in Calendar ui two 'Calendars' - 'Family' and 'Friends'
5. Sets permissions on Calendar 'Family' so that only members of group 'Family' have read and write permission.
6. Sets permissions on Calendar 'Friends' so that members of both group 'Family' and group 'Friends' have read and write permission.

Now we find that when a member of group 'Friends' visits the Calendar module they can see all the 'Family' calendar event titles! If they click on the event permission is refused but they are being shown the title which in most cases people have meaningful info in.

Also, in a large group you get an overcluttered display unless you could select in your ui that you only want to view for example 'Family' items instead of items for all groups to which you belong.

Am I missing something obvious here?

Thanks.
Richard
