Hello Art,

Thanks for your question, which I thought was rather obvious, but in fact alerted me to the problem. Rather like me asking colleagues with computer problems whether or not they've actually plugged in their computer .

It turns out that although I had already entered events into the Calendar, the Calendar setting "Days to look ahead" was set to the default 21 days. I thought I had changed this, but it seems it must have been a change specific to logged in users. This meant that events saved in the Calendar further away than 21 days were not appearing in the "Upcoming Events" block for guests, but were appearing for logged in users.

Any way, simply increasing the number in the "Days to look ahead" setting sorted things out. Thanks.

Hello,

Is it possible to make Calendar and Upcoming events visible to anyone visiting a Moodle site?

I have a moodle site in which I want any visitor, not just people who have clicked on the [Login as guest] button, to be able to see Global events:

http://www.petesweb.org/moot/

i.e., I want to make events in the Calendar visible to anyone, and therefore those same events visible in the 'Upcoming Events' block.

Clicking on the Assign roles icon () in those blocks only makes it possible to make the block visible or not - by default both are visible to anyone - but I not the contents, which is what I want to make visible.

I imagine the solution lies somewhere in the Roles settings. Does anyone know?

Hello,

Having suggested that I had the same problem (see below), it turns out that the Calendar setting "Days to look ahead" was set to the default 21 days. I thought I had changed this, but it seems it must have been a change specific to logged in users. This meant that events saved in the Calendar further away than 21 days were not appearing in the "Upcoming Events" block for guests, but were appearing for logged in users.

Hello,

Any solutions to this problem?

I also want to make global events visible to any visitor to this site, i.e. guests:

Have a look at this discussion:

and my suggested workaround at the bottom of the discussion.

This must be a bug. It should not be necessary to force teachers to access the complicated roles admin just to make an activity work in a normal way.
