Description

This is somewhat related to: http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-1848

When someone visits a site with the Upcoming Events block activated, if they click on the Title of an event they are sent to the Login page. If they click on the Date instead, they are taken directly to the appropriate calendar entry. This seems counter-intuitive and has caused quite a bit of consternation on the part of my user community. Feel free to try it at: http://www.stjohnselkhart.com/

Here are examples of the different URIs for each:
Title: http://www.stjohnselkhart.com/stjohnselkhart/calendar/view.php?view=day&course=1&cal_d=2&cal_m=7&cal_y=2008#event_263
Date: http://www.stjohnselkhart.com/stjohnselkhart/calendar/view.php?view=day&cal_d=2&cal_m=7&cal_y=2008

If this has been addressed elsewhere, please accept my apologies - I just can't find it.

you can try removing the require_login(); from view.php just make it a comment before you definetly remove it. You may encounter security issues so check it out beofe you put it on a production server.
I'll let you know how my test run goes

Some additional information -
If I set the Autologin variable to Yes, then the clicking on the Title goes directly to the Calendar event without requiring a Login.

In the end, this behavior seems counter-intuitive. Since clicking on the Date displays the event, it seems reasonable that clicking on the Title should do the same. There does not seem to be an obvious security threat, though I have not followed this line of reasoning to its logical conclusion.

THX!
