Limit users

[sblowes]

Is there any way to limit a user to only be able to add and edit events within a certain category? Or at least, when a certain user logs on to the events manager, and creates a new event, it default-selects their category?
I'm just trying to make this as idiot-proof as possible, with multiple (non-geek) users managing their own calendar categories.
Thanks!

This is planned for a future release (probably around 6.5). Of course, 6.1 hasn't been released yet, but I'm working on that now.

Similarly-

I would like to allow the general public to post events that I would then approve. What I'm thinking is

1) An "Approved" flag in the table 0=no, 1=yes, default=0
2) The SQL query to change so only "1" type records are returned
3) The ability for Event Admin to view unapproved events and toggle them to approved (basically the Event Admin screen, just quering on only type "0" records, and the toggle.
4) Probably the hardest part... all of the Event Admin functions available without actually having to sign in as a user.

Ideally, of course, there'd be all kinds of communication built in, collect email of submitter, issue notice of approval or denial, and so on and so forth... those could be future enhancements. But I'd really like just that basic outline above.

And while we're at it, I'll take that mansion on the hill...



Seriously, I'd be willing to help code it up, too.

This feature is on the drawing board...
