Event not saved when Church Facility selected

#1

Post by ckohrman »

Hello!

Our RS President can't save events on our ward calendar when "Church Facility" is selected. I've replicated the issue with my account (admin / exec secretary).

1 - create calendar (tried with private and entire ward)
2 - click calendar to create event
3 - enter event name and select "Church Facility" under "Where" section
4 - select ward name
5 - click "Create Event"

After step 5, nothing happens. The edit UI stays up. If I select "Other Facility" or "No Facility", the event is created.

No event appears on the calendar. I also noticed that there is no dropdown for selecting specific rooms... should that be visible?

It's certainly worthy of note that you are trying to create a calendar and an event at the same time. Although that should work, that's a relatively rare process. Perhaps the problem is being caused by the attempt to reserve the building using an event that is on a calendar that is not yet approved.

In any case, are you (and the RS president) able to successfully save an event if you use an existing calendar? And can you (since you're an administrator) successfully create a new calendar? If the answer to both those questions is yes, then you can simply do those two steps separately and you'll achieve the result you want.

Try scrolling up to see if there's a message. There was a bug like that in the past, but I thought it was fixed.

Also activate the location calendar for that building (as well as show reservations) and make sure there is no conflict.

Talk to the stake about setting up rooms for that location. Right now it's set such that you can only book the entire building - not just parts of it.

Wow, thanks for the quick replies!

Sorry, I should clarify, I created "test calendar," then after the calendar was created, I tried creating an event. I can create new calendars.

I can create events on existing calendars and test calendars - as long as I don't try to specify "Church Facility" as the location. If I select "Church Facility" in the "Where" section, nothing is saved (same result on all ward calendars).

Nothing found after trying to scroll up - just the site header, menu, etc.
Also activate the location calendar for that building (as well as show reservations) and make sure there is no conflict.
Maybe this is the problem? I'm not sure how or where to do this...

I'll definitely follow up with the stake on this part - thanks!

If activating the location calendar just means checking that location on the list of locations on the left of the calendar, then the location is activated and nothing is scheduled via the location calendar itself. Not sure if it matters, but I don't think we have a Building Specialist right now...

Thanks, the location is now checked and restricted as well. No scheduling conflicts exist.

Can you scheduled a different facility? Is it just that one that has a problem? I think there's another thread here with someone with that issue.

Yes, if I select "Other Facility" or "No Facility," I can create the event:
"Other Facility" works
"Other Facility" works

The problem only occurs when I try to use "Church Facility."

But what happens if you pick a different building?
