#70 Editing a recursive event should be less error-prone
Closed: Fixed None Opened 10 years ago by kparal.

When I edit a recursive event, I often forget to check "Yes I want to edit all the meetings" checkbox and I need to repeat the edit (provided I even notice it). The checkbox is off by default.

However, if we make it enabled by default, it can also cause some data loss in different workflows.

Please do it the same way other calendars systems do it - either before edit, or after edit ask the following question:

{{{
This is a recursive event. What do you want to edit?
[Only this event] - [All events] - [All future events]
}}}

That would be really friendly.


It will only be [Only this event] or [All future events] at the moment since you are not allowed to changed event from the past (I know, you asked for it ;-))

Alternatively, if you provide caldav support, I'll edit it in google calendar or Evolution and therefore stop bugging you about the web admin interface :-)

haha, good point but if you want to use fedocal it will be faster to fix the UI ;-)

Before I started fedocal, we did look at a number of free calendar servers that were offering caldav (of course) but none fitted what we wanted, so fedocal appeared.
I would love to add caldav support, honestly, it's just an investment in time that is quite significant and there are no python libraries that I know of that would reduce this effort.

Patch welcome of course ;-)

Implemented in fix_edit_recursive_meeting
