My company wants to use the Event Module on our DNN website as a "shared" calendar for all the different departments so we can all see upcoming events. But, they want all the users to only be able to use the Add Event feature to add events without having to click on Edit on the top of the page since they can end with having more abilities that they want them to have. I've been playing with the different settings and can't figure out how to get the Add Event feature to stay on View Mode only.

My only other thought was to create sub-calendars for each department that would then feed into the Main calendar, but again each department should only have access to the View Mode and need to have the Add Event ability.

Is there any way for me to get the Event Calendar set up this way or would I need to look for some different kind of Calendar module? Thanks in advance

Hi Sal,

What I normally do is set the Control Panel Security to 'Page Editors' in Admin/Site Settings/Advanced Settings/Usability Settings. And set Control Panel mode to Edit. This should hide the panel for users, and leave them in page edit mode where the Add Event link is visible.

Cheers
Roger

Sal,  I agree 100% with you on this issue.  I find it strange that some DNN module require you to put the website into Edit mode before you can use what would seem to be standard functionality of a module.

I hope that future versions of this module allow adding events without having the need to use the "Edit" button!?

I have to agree and it confuses me that:

1- add event permission isn't separate from edit module permission in the way moderation permission is. 

2- That we even have moderation if only module editors can add events.
