Description

Calendar Feature: When Add-ing an event a user is presented with options to pickup the Start date and End date, there is a calendar icon which is good. When picking up the hour and minute a user is presented with arrow down list. This is good if only a few events to be Add-ed. However, when a user enters a lot or its users task to enter say appointments for many events. It would be easier to be presented with a data entry screen like a spreadsheet: where columns and rows are arranged in such a way that there are arrows to move days or months or years say located at the top row, while the next rows are breakdown of days hours and minutes divided according to a setting of say every 5 minutes or 10 or 15 minutes. The benefit of these is where a user's daily job is only to enter so many events everyday, user simply look at the top row for say a date of a month and look on the left hand side where there are rows of hours divided in to say 5-minutes event/appointment, then looking at the right coordinates of date-hour-minute for the event, the user simply click/2xClick to open the coordinate then type/enter a description of an event. Its done! For example event is 30th of June 2013 at 7:30 a.m. User looks at the top row, either click arrows to get the future date, then look on the left hand side for the row-column of 7 a.m. and click 30 and enter the event description, does the same for another event.

I don't know if this is a feature to be added but i think this is great, makes data entry quick on high volume addition of events. Sorry i am not a programmer.

Demonstrate Bug (Tiki 19+)
Please demonstrate your bug on show2.tiki.org
 About show2.tiki.org

To help developers solve the bug, we kindly request that you demonstrate your bug on a show2.tiki.org instance. To start, simply select a version and click on "Create show2.tiki.org instance". Once the instance is ready (in a minute or two), as indicated in the status window below, you can then access that instance, login (the initial admin username/password is "admin") and configure the Tiki to demonstrate your bug. Priority will be given to bugs that have been demonstrated on show2.tiki.org.

Version: Create show2.tiki.org instance
Demonstrate Bug (older Tiki versions)
This bug has been demonstrated on show.tikiwiki.org
 Accessing the Tiki instance that demonstrates this bug

The URL for the show.tikiwiki.org instance that demonstrates this bug is at: http://tapos-10685-4540.show.tikiwiki.org. Note that if you get a popup asking for a username/password, please just enter "show" and "show". This is different from the initial login and password for a new Tiki which is "admin" and "admin".

For the install log, see http://tapos-10685-4540.show.tikiwiki.org/info.txt

Note that if you see PHP errors or a Tiki claiming to be missing third party software, the instance creation is probably not finished. Please wait a couple minutes and reload.

 Snapshots

Snapshots are database dumps of the configuration that developers can download for debugging. Once you have reproduced your bug on the show.tikiwiki.org instance, create a snapshot that can then be downloaded by developers for further investigation.

Snapshots can be accessed at: http://tapos-10685-4540.show.tikiwiki.org/snapshots/. Note that if you get a popup asking for a username/password, please just enter "show" and "show".
