I am the scheduling person for our stake park and i am finding that once i enter an activity on the calendar the only option i have is to delete the activity. The stake clerk has verified that i have all the editing rights on the calendar but it still will not let me edit the activities. our Stake clerk told me to contact headquarters because he has no idea. any suggestions

I've never seen where someone can add/delete but not edit. Have you tried a different computer or different browser? How are you trying to edit? And what calendar are you trying to edit? The location, or a ward/stake calendar that uses the location?

I am trying to edit by using the edit detail & location next to the delete option. I click on the activity in the calendar which gives the two options but the edit option does nothing. The computer and browser makes no difference. This calendar is a ward/stake calendar. I have found that if i don't put it in a facility that i can edit till my harts content but as soon as i put a facility i am locked out.

I am having this same problem, as is our stake clerk. When we click "Edit event details and location" nothing happens, no matter what browser or computer we are using. The link DOES come up like we should be able to edit, but when we click the link nothing happens.

We're forced to delete the entry and make a new entry rather than edit.

Can you send me your Ward/Stake name via PM? The developers are asking.

Private Message. It's in the upper right of the page - the link that probably says "(0 new messages)"

I don't know if this helps, but when the problem happens, the little pop up box isn't usually pointing at the date. It's usually pointing at somewhere in the upper right hand corner of the calendar.

Has a solution to this issue been found/discovered/invented? I am having same issue in some cases but it seems to only be where I pick certain facilities....

There has been on solution for this problem yet. I do think we are having problems because the stake President only wants one person to calendar a facility. One for the stake center, another one for the ward building, another one for the park and so we have 5 people that calendar the facility and no one else can calendar the facility or cross calendar each others facility. So the facility are turned off and i call it the double calendar system. you calendar for your ward calendar then call the facility calendar person and have them calendar the facility. But that is just my personal oppinan and i can not back it up or support it with anything.

Yes, that will cause problems.

I have a question that I can't seem to find addressed about editing. Specifically when someone with rights edits an
entry it is my understanding that they are now listed as the person putting the entry in in the left hand corner? I am a ward webmaster AND
Stake Building scheduler. At the beginning of a month I review the calendar for the building and contact people
with questions about their entry. Some have been there a long time and the person that put it in is no longer
in that calling. It is my understanding that it can be edited by the new person (with rights) in the calling and then their
contact info would appear in the left corner. I do not made changes to their entries because then my
contact info appears in left corner and that is not part of my calling. Even though sometimes it's a simple thing
as allowing additional time for set up to allow for filling the font for a baptism.

I have not seen this question addressed anywhere. Also I try to encourage schedulers to put contact info in description
especially if they have rights to schedule event but not actually in charge of event. Otherwise, they will be
receiving calls or emails about the event.

Yes, your understanding is correct. The "contact" for the event according to the LDS.org Calendar is the most recent person to touch the event (create or edit).
