gbligh Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Hi all, We use the Create Event and Calendar widget to display booking calendars on a page for staff. However, a big issue is that staff can't delete their own bookings from this view. Has anyone worked around this, or maybe a delete event widget could be created? Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnmorris01 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Yeah - we have the same issue (amongst other gripes with the Booking Calendar!) and so I have to manually delete the bookings via the Booking Calendar app instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADT Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 @Graham Quince Is the booking calendar on the list to revamp?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Quince Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 It's on the list, but no ETA I'm afraid. I'm trying to push it up the list, but there's quite a few things we have to do ahead of it. That said, there's been quite a bit of chatter this week, which helps in conversations about prioritising. Being honest, I do not imagine getting anything to you before the end of the academic year, but there's the possibility of September. Of course, FrogCode might be able to solve this.

gbligh Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 Hi all @Graham Quince - any chance we can look at this on FrogCode? We never got the chance to at BETT. Still a major gripe! thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADT Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I thought the booking calendar was on the list for "another" revisit!!! Granted thats a long list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Okay, So I spent some time at lunch creating a basic 'delete booking calendar event' widget. It's very bare-bones, but should serve as a good start for anyone to tweak to their own requirements. It'll only show you booking calendars which you have access to AND have events that you have created on. You can't delete other peoples events from here (including admins, sorry) - this is mainly due to how the back-end works (it's fairly old code). I've put the widget on the FrogCode repo - so @Graham Quince should be able to sort people out. Just to reitterate, I've not fully tested this, so use it at your own risk and feel free to use it as a base for a more comprehensive widget. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Quince Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Wow - thanks Adam Here's a direct link to the file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-KJq-5c0bRSF6Iu4MozcD4w0_C8VzJMP/view?usp=sharing As @adamw says - this is untested, so we'd also appreciate feedback on whether it's working or not.

adamw Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Just a quick update - I did a bit more testing and it seems that admins can delete anything via this widget - which is nice. Other users can see all the events, but only delete their own. If they press the delete button on one they don't own then it does nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADT Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 @gbligh Are you still using this? I've been tasked with creating an iPad booking system.... so just wanted to see if there were are do and don'ts!! Tricks and tips!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbligh Posted November 19, 2021 Author Share Posted November 19, 2021 Yes we are ... just make sure you tell people how to use it. Some staff still try and delete things from the calendar itself and moan. I tend to put it on the same page under a 'Manage My Bookings' banner or something similar.

Graham Quince Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 @ADT - well this thread talks about Adam's custom widget, so I was just checking. Have you reported it to the service desk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
