580787 - when updating an event, it is impossible to uncheck the "notify attendees" checkbox

Status: RESOLVED MOVED

(Calendar :: Provider: WCAP, defect)

Description

[diesmo]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr; rv:1.9.1.10) Gecko/20100504 Firefox/3.5.10 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Cannot uncheck notify attendees checkbox

We use lightning with a WCAP calendar.

When updating an existing event, the "notify attendees" checkbox is disabled AND checked. 

The users may want to choose whether to send a notification or not, does not they ?





Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open an existing event
2. add an invitee
3.
Actual Results:  
the "notify attendees" checkbox is disabled and checked

Expected Results:  
the checkbox should be enabled and if the user unchecks it, no SMTP notification should be sent.

To achieve this, a solution is :

1) file : calendar-event-dialog.js
comment disableElement("notify-attendees-checkbox");

2) file: calWCapCalendarItems.js
add
if(!bNoSmtpNotify && (item.getProperty("X-MOZ-SEND-INVITATIONS") == "FALSE")) {
			bNoSmtpNotify = true;
		} 
I'll post the modified files.

Still reproducible with Thunderbird 31.1.2, Lightning 3.3.1, and Provider for Google Calendar 0.32

I need to be able to UNCHECK the "Notify Attendees" box, so that all participants on an event don't get spammed.
