When installing on a test site, try to have the test site as closely mirror your live site as possible--usergroups, permissions, etc. This way you can fully test on the test site and run into problems there versus your live one.

I know this has been mentioned, but I don?t remember seeing an answer.

I remember this on the original mod. I had to disable all moderation for threads or calendar events. There was no way for me to get around that.

Check permissions on both your calendars and threads. Because there are two different permissions being checked, this is one of the issues you can run across.

If this workaround is the only thing needed to make it work, then it's a simple style issue where the button isn't being shown based on permissions. You'd have to edit the style sheet, which is just html, to show the button to your group. You'll have to figure out some html coding for this, but it's not too hard. A lot of times, something else in the style sheet can be 'borrowed' and changed to suit what you need.

Check out the vb documentation on Style Manager to learn how to edit the individual templates.

You've gotten lucky up to this point. Changing the default vb with mods is great, but you almost certainly will run into an issue at some point. But that being said, once you learn about the innerds of vb, you may even be bold enough to make your own mods.
