Cub Scout Calendar missing :(

Hello

Our Cub Scout Calendar is randomly missing. It appears in the beta calendar though. Scary!

At first I thought it was because the issue we have of calendars saying they are from our old and new ward. Wards splitting. A few of our calendars say they are from the Litchfield Park Ward, but we are the Corte Sierra Ward. I guess everything didn't get transferred correctly?

Any ideas on what could be happening? Thanks!

Calendars do not transfer. The old calendars remain with the old ward and the new ward will need to create any new calendars to be used.

Which ward calendar you see will depend on where your membership record is located, and on whether or not you have signed in to the Calendar site at LDS.org since your membership record was moved to your new ward.

If the division was recent (last week or so), these things are probably all still settling out. If the change was made a few weeks ago, check with your ward clerk to make sure your record is in your new ward.

Then decide who is going to create and edit the new calendar, sign in to the Calendar at LDS.org and have fun.

Why does this happen then for our calendars in our ward? Here is the RS one that says "Litchfield Park Ward". And here it says "Corte Sierra Ward". These are all under my account. Our ward was created over a year ago. We used to go to the Litchfield Park Ward.

Also, I am the website admin and our Cub Scout calendar is randomly missing, but it shows up in the beta calendar. Should I be worried?

Thanks!

@lajackson -

I probably made this post more complicated that it should be.

We are only worried about one thing right now...our Cub Scout calendar is missing!!! But it appears in the beta calendar. Is it going to reappear? Or what has happened? Thanks for your time!

The fact it is in the beta calendar says it did exist. Either it's been deleted, or someone moved it. I think you need to talk to a Default admin (Bishopric/clerk) to look into the problem.

I've emailed all the admins. They all say they didn't delete it. I am the website admin.

How does a calendar get moved?

I can just create a new calendar, but the data will be lost. Oh well. The scouts weren't that great about putting stuff on the calendar yet anyway lol.

Thanks for your response!

From the drop-down list on the right, when you select "Calendars" (to manage calendars, not display them), do you see anything listed at the top for "deleted calendars"?

Do you see the Cub Scout calendar in that list?

The calendar could have become a stake calendar of a stake admin tried to do something with it. You might check your subscriptions area to see if it became a stake calendar.

All good thoughts, but it's not in the "deleted calendars" nor stake calendars. It's not in any of the subscriptions either. Boggles my mind to as what happened.

I'll just create a new one. Oh well.

Also, does anyone know why half the things say "Litchfield Park Ward" and half "Corte Sierra Ward"? It's in the attached pictures above.

Thanks!

Okay, I must be losing my mind. I just tried to create a new Cub Scout Calendar, and I received this error:
And here are all our calendars:

Is it possible that your original Cub Scouts calendar became a private calendar somehow? That error message is a clear indication that a calendar named "Cub Scouts" does exist. But your screen shot proves that it isn't visible to you, and it's not in the Deleted Calendars list.

To my thinking, that leaves only two options: it somehow became private and you don't have view permissions for that calendar, or there's something really strange going on and the calendar still exists but is not visible to anyone. I'd research the first option first. I know that you're an admin, which means that you should be able to see it, but perhaps a default admin might be needed. Ask one to examine the list of calendars to see if Cub Scouts appears as a private calendar.

One variation is one that someone else raised -- perhaps it got changed to a stake calendar. When that happens, a calendar is temporarily in a holding phase until a stake calendar administrator accepts (or rejects) the proposed calendar. It could be that when it is in this holding phase, it is still associated with your ward, which could possibly explain the error message saying the name is not unique.

We're sort of grasping at straws here, but this is indeed an unusual problem.

Do you notice that she was trying to create a calendar for "Litchfield Park" but her list is for "Corte Sierra"?

I wonder if we're dealing with a "out-of-unit member" issue. That Litchfield hasn't fully released her somehow. Especially since this was a result of a ward split.

I've pinged Kyle.

I've emailed someone from my ward and stake. Waiting to see what he says.

Possible for one of you to log into our ward and check it out?

Thanks for all your help!

Only certain church programmers can do that. One of the programmers who can do that has been sent a message to check in on this thread.

Any luck on getting the Cub Scouts calendar transferred over from the Litchfield Park Ward? Nothing much was on that calendar. Can I just have it deleted? And then I'll create a new one in our ward? Unless you're going to fix it?

I needed to schedule the Blue and Gold Banquet, but I just put it under the Reservations calendar for now, which means our ward can't see it.

Also, I noticed that all our ward calendars are under the correct ward now! Thanks!

Thanks for all your hard work! Glad I'm not one of your programmers

An Exec. Sec who needs release for sharing a confidential login.

By gave, I meant I was at her house and he logged himself in and I saw the calendar! No worries.

GOOOOOOD.

I would suggest just creating a new calendar for your new ward. You could get a printed copy from your friend and then add the events back on the calendar. I know its allot of work but may be you best option.

FYI...when I try to create a new calendar, it tries to create it for Litchfield Park Ward and not Corte Sierra Ward.

I deleted the Cub Scout Calendar that was in the wrong ward.

I saw that in you posts earlier and I'm not sure why this would be happening, it could be as it was stated earlier that the systems have not yet synced with the ward split.

A couple of things I would do is first make sure you are in the MLS system properly for the new ward. If all is well then I think I would delete your current administration rights go out of LDS.org and the come back in and re add the rights. Of course you would have to have one of the other administrators add you back in. I'm not sure this will work or not but its worth a try.

Since your calling was "transferred" that could well be the issue. Having your calling removed, wait a day or so until you see your admin rights are gone and then having the calling re-entered isn't a bad idea. I wouldn't try re-entering too quickly as it may confuse the system even more.

Just wondering the status on this one?

When I try to create a new calendar in my ward, it still defaults to Litchfield Park Ward, so I can't create any new ones yet

My Cub Scout leaders are waiting patiently for their calendar to come back

Thanks!

Have you accomplished the tasks I suggested in my last post?

Gary_Miller:

My calling wasn't transferred. A brand new ward was creating, and then I received the calling as Website Admin.

I'd still give it a try. It's possible that your records were somehow in transition when the calling was recorded.

I'm back with the same issue! If I try to create a new calendar, it's having me create it in the Litchfield Park Ward, instead of the Corte Sierra Ward. Could someone look into this? It scares me to add a calendar or add an admin to a calendar.

Thanks for your time!

Can you log into https://lds.org/header and PM the results to me?
