Description Stuart Pulliam 2007-08-11 17:09:19 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    I Don't Know
Compiler:          gcc-4.2.1-3 
OS:                Linux

Whenever I create an event and add an attendee, any further modification of the event is met with a message "You are not the organizer of this event. Editing it will bring your calendar out of sync with the organizers calendar. Do you really want to edit it?" when I click "apply" or "ok".  I do not expect it to behave this way.

By the way, I got the package through the Arch Linux CVS.

Oh, and as a side note, the error message that I quoted above has a typo.  Assuming that there can only be one organizer, the phrase "out of sync with the organizers calendar" should be "out of sync with the organizer's calendar".  If it's possible to have more than one organizer (it would be organizers' in that case), then I see why the developer just left out the apostrophe altogether.

One of our user's started seeing this with the upgrade from 3.5.9 to 3.5.10 in Fedora 8.  Any ideas?

This is because if you are not the organiser of the event but are trying to change participant status or event info, then the organiser would not know that. Only the organsier is meant to make changes.

If YOU have created that event, I guess then some of your settings are wrong. Check Email address and/or name. Not quite sure how KOrganizer is checking, I would assume via email address, this is your "calendaring id"....

Typical situation for me> My wife has created an event, I try to chnage it (can do as admin) and get your "error" message. Actually a warning, good that is.
My calendaring software is clever enough to correct the issue, this works however only because we are on the same calendar server. It would NOT work when the users were on different servers.

So please check your email settings. Account and organiser email address must be identical.

This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of korganizer (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.

Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
