More about admin panel – deleting a certain date of a recurring event

[Anonymous]

I just learned that if you try to delete a certain date of a recurring event, you will delete all of them. You can destroy lot of work with a single action. I would love a button “delete this event”, that makes it a single event (like modifying a recurring event now) and deletes it.

Now I just have to find all these deleted events back.

You can edit the specific event, that will take it out of the recurrence, and then delete it.

Yep, I know it now. What I tried to do was delete multiple events from a certain date. It didn’t work.

Implemented in trunk: “now you can delete events of an recurrence or the whole recurrence (no longer needed to take an event out of an recurrence before being able to delete just that event)”

Franky,

When you delete an entire recurrence, the screen going blank leaves me feeling a bit unnerved!

This obviously isn’t an error (i.e., click Edit and the Events list displays, sans the deleted recurrence – great!)… just cosmetic.

[Franky]

That shouldn’t be happening. What version of trunk are you testing?

I last downloaded on 08/17 at 4:52 pm EST. I’m probably behind…! Thursday morning will be my first opportunity to get back to this, so I’ll download then and check it out.

Woke up early so I tried new version… same result!

Am I doing this right?

. added a recurrent event

. on Edit event list, clicked box for 1st occurence

. Bulk Actions: Delete selected recurrent events… Apply

Ok, got it. Bug is here also 🙂

[Franky]

Ok, fixed in trunk. The change:

Perfect! Not to mention less unnerving… 🙂

Thank you.
