Set default access level when adding new event

Hello,

If you set the categories and the event calendars to your minimum access level then no one can access events below this and if I recall correctly we pull in the default access level based of this.

Many thanks

Sorry but I don't get this. How do I set the categories and the event calendars to your minimum access level? Do you mean by individually selecting each event?

At present all calendars, categories and events are set to an access level of "registered". Nevertheless, each new calendar, category or event comes up at a default level of "public".

The question is how do you set the default access level to other than "public"? Surely this is a feature built in to JEvent?

Thanks

Hello,

1. You simply 'Edit' each category and 'Edit' each Calendar from the JEvents Backend -> Manage Categories and JEvents Backend -> Calendars and set the Access on each of them.

No we don't set a have a setting for a default access level as we have never needed too before given you have categories constraints it allows a more granular and secured approach.

If the events are in a categories of access level 'Registered' it's irrelevant what access level is set in the event unless you want to only show it to an access level above registered and not to registered.

Many thanks

Thank you Tony

It's just one more click for each event. I would have thought it would be more user friendly to set a default level but, if you think there is no demand for it (apart from me) then I guess it is not worth the effort.

Cheers

Hello,

But there isn't a need to set it? Just hide the access level if you need it setting as the category and calendar as restricted to that event no one in public will see it ever.

Many thanks
