Description

We would like to make several small changes to the Create Event page. Given that some of the calendar functionality was "out of the box", I'm not sure what's feasible. Let's discuss when we begin the next EBMS release. For now, I've added our wish list below. This may result in a couple of different issues.

1. Add a box around the participant options (Board, Subgroup, Ad-Hoc Group, Individuals). Require that at least one of these options be selected. (If this isn't feasible, can we get a prompt when we attempt to save the event that no participants are selected?)

2. The publish agenda option can be easily missed. Could we make it stand out more? Or add a prompt message when we save the event [if it includes an agenda] to ask whether we want to publish the agenda?

3. We'd like to add some explanatory text above the Notes section to explain what this could be used for, where it is displayed, and who will see it (i.e., anyone on the event; it doesn't need to be "published" like an agenda).

Best I could come up with in the constraints of the Drupal framework. I don't seem to have control over where the help text appears for a field, so the instructions for the Notes field are below the field instead of at the top (and I'll need you to provide the wording you actually want to appear in place of my dummy text). I was able to highlight the field name for the Publish Agenda field, but don't see a way to anything fancier.

Would it be possible to add a red asterisk after the PARTICIPANTS heading so we know that one of those selections is required? Thanks.

We reviewed your text and thought it looked fine as is.

Sure, done. Don't forget to bump the ticket back to the "To Do" column when more needs to be done.

... it looked fine as is.

Seriously? We're talking about the description text below the Notes field, right? I pretty much just copied your instructions to me from the ticket. Seems a little too self-referential, along the lines of this hilarious song.

I guess we didn't look too closely at the Notes section! How about this:

The notes section will display beneath the meeting agenda (if there is one). All meeting participants will see the Notes contents. The notes section does not need to be "published" in order to be visible. You may use this section to provide information such as the address for the meeting, WebEx information, or other details about the event.

Good, I was hoping that wasn't really what you wanted. Wording installed.
