Description Dave Malcolm 2005-12-21 00:22:29 UTC
The appointment/meeting editor is somewhat unclear for users who don't understand the way calendars work.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Subscribe to a webcal
2. Select the webcal
3. Attempt to create a new appointment
  
Actual results:
Can't type anything; insensitive except for the calendar selection area.  It's not clear why things are insensitive.

Version:
evolution 2.5.3

Suggested fix:
Add a descriptive hint below the Calendar combobox with an "information" stock icon and text along the line of the following strings:

for a new meeting/appointment:
------------------------------
if you don't have permission to edit the calendar:
"You do not have permission to edit the "NAME_OF_CALENDAR" calendar.  You will need to select a different calendar to be able to add this [appointment|meeting]"

if it's a subscribed webcal:
"You cannot edit web calendars directly.  You will need to select a different calendar to be able to add this [appointment|meeting]"

etc

This hint would become disappear/change as different calendar are selected.

when editing a pre-existing meeting/appointment:
------------------------------------------------
I'm not yet sure exactly what the behaviour here ought to be

This doesn't happen for me in Evolution 2.7.4

When I try to post to a web cal, I get an alert saying 

`Cannot create a new event

You have a read-only calendar source selected. Change to Calendar View and highlight a calendar that can accept appointments.`

Indeed. Works for me too. Closing as FIXED.
