Inductions don’t show up on the calendar.
I think it would be useful if they did.
Inductors would still choose the “Inductions” category but would also add the date and time.
There would still need to be a space booking for the same period to ensure that the relevant tool is booked for the inductors / course facilitators (and also to open the space for others).
The Courses category is of the event type.
This adds a new button for selecting the date and time.
So the courses I and others run do appear on the calendar.
I’ve just noticed that the course is publicly visible.
I think this is good because it shows the public that we are active.
We would have to decide if the induction events are also publicly visible.
I can see the settings but there seems to be an issue applying them. They would enforce topics to be events. Had a look in the courses category and can see them turned on so not sure which underling setting is blocking this turning on.
Looks like a known bug as we use an older plugin for calendars. I think Discourse also have newer calendar module but I don’t want to break the current version. Ill have a deeper dive this week when i get time.
turning it on gives us two separate calendars, If we can map the existing events to the newer discourse supported calendar it might work:
Work out the new calendar functionality.
Work out if we can get the current space open icon to re-direct to the newer calendar.
Look at migrating existing events
Look at the changes to adding events in posts etc and permissions.
