group_user context?

[ordwaye]

     I was trying to use the api to bulk move a bunch of calendar events that a new faculty had put in their agenda and not the course. Sidenote this seems to be a common issue.  Anyways the events did not show up looking at the events using their user_* context.  So I dug through the html and it looked like the events where part of a group_user_* context but using that return an error. 

So the question is what context to use for agenda items?

 @scottdennis ​  Do you have any thoughts on this?

Hi Erik,

Sorry, I do not - that is way outside me area of knowledge.  Hopefully  @kenneth_larsen ​ or one of the other more knowledgeable folks that frequent this group will have an idea of where to start.

By "agenda" do you mean the user's personal calendar? Often these are created because the default Calendar when creating an event using the + button, or by clicking on a day to add an event, is usually the user's personal calendar.

user_<id> should work as a context_codes[]= value.  group_<id> context codes could only exist on a group's calendar, either as events or as Scheduler appointments.  I can't recall ever seeing a group_user_<id> context code in API responses, but maybe it is something used in rendering the UI.

Interesting.  I think that is what I tried at the time.  That said it would be nice to be able to move calendar times between calendars when mistakes happen.

That I can agree with!

Sorry Erik, the calendar API is one that I have only briefly dealt with. I will try and do some digging if I get a chance and see if I can come up with anything useful to contribute.
