Edit this event

Can the option to "edit this event" be eliminated so users won't have this option to distract them?

I presume you mean the option when someone right-clicks on an event. You can turn off context menus (the right click menus) by changing the following parameter in plans_config.pl to 0:

$options{right_click_menus_enabled} = 0;

There are several places you could eliminate this. But I am not sure how you are going to ever get in to edit an event if you remove all incidents of "edit this event" from the interface. Do you want a different look for adminstrators vs. visitors? If so, how are you implementing that globally? That will impact how you go about eliminating this functionality from public view.

There is a fairly easy way on unix systems and it is outlined in the documentation. Look for the section titled:

Creating Separate Public and Admin Sites

I also have posted a hack to accomplish admin vs. public sites programatically. See this post: Admin vs. Public View Hack. There are many other posts in the forums dealing with this subject. You should consult them as well.

The key to the whole thing is in plans.template. If you follow the documentation so that you have a seperate copy of plans.template for admin and public, then take out the following line from the event details template in the public version of the file:

<li>###edit event link###</li>

That way, the link will never be placed in the event details pop-up for public viewers but will still be there for admins.

If you take a programatic approach, then you need to halt the link from being built at all. That happens in plans_lib.pl Do a search for "###edit event link###". You should find it in the generate_event_details subroutine. The full code you are looking for is:

my $edit_event_link = "<a target = \"cal_mainwindow\" href=\"$script_url/$name?active_tab=1&add_edit_event=edit&amp;&evt_id=$event{id}$consistent_parameter_string\">$lang{context_menu_edit_event}</a>";
$edit_event_link = $lang{event_details_edit_disable} unless $writable{events_file};
$return_text =~ s/###edit event link###/$edit_event_link/g;

Basically, you only want to build the link if this is the admin view. So, you need an "if" clause which only populates $edit_event_link in that case. If you are implementing my hack for admin vs public view, you would change the above to look something like this:

if ($admin_view==1) {
$edit_event_link = "<a target = \"cal_mainwindow\" href=\"$script_url/$name?active_tab=1&add_edit_event=edit&amp;&evt_id=$event{id}$consistent_parameter_string\">$lang{context_menu_edit_event}</a>";
$edit_event_link = $lang{event_details_edit_disable} unless $writable{events_file};
$return_text =~ s/###edit event link###/$edit_event_link/g;
}
