Re: Delegate Amin to other users
Marc:

I know this is a long thread, and it has taken some twists and turns. Even I was somewhat confused! So below, I have copied what I think are the key items from previous posts, and added notes in bold as appropriate. To more clearly understand, open this file first:

ME:
I was thinking that on the 'Allow Visitors to Add Calendar Events' options on the Options General Page, there would be another option that Visitors may add AND EDIT Public Events.
See image #1 (top one)

Another solution is to incorporate this feature in the "Sharing' option, and restrict it. That way only members who are on that list can access the calendar in the first place. So my thought is to have not only 'View' permission, but also 'Edit' permission as an option for each member added. Then the Calendar Owner could decide who has the "Edit' permission. I think that would minimize any malicious modifications.
See image #2

In either case, then an "Edit' button would be placed next to the current 'Add' button. That 'Edit button would just take one to the 'Edit Event' page as a stand alone page, just like the 'Add Event' is a stand alone page.

YOU:
If we put an Edit Event button next to Add Event, how would localendar know which event you want to edit when you clicked on it?

Of course, clicking on an event on the public view is the logical way to see the event details.. Would you want to see a small "edit" icon on the event somehow that opened it for editing?

I think we could implement this as an option

ME:
That would be a wonderful option--better than my solution above Would you plan that the owner could select which events were eligible for editing? In amy case, I would like the screen that opens once the button is pushed to include both 'Edit' and 'Save As'. That would make it much easier for my users to set up events, since I have created template entries for folks to type in a few words, check some boxes, set the correct date/time, and click 'Save As'.

YOU:
I realize I never understood what you are asking for here.

ME:
I can understand! Hope this summary and the images help.
