Display event visibility

[jeriox]

As a planner, I'd like to see for which groups an event is visible (or that it is not visible to anyone yet) on the event detail page and maybe in the event list.

Current workarounds:

I guess it would be doable to display an "invisibile"-tag on the event list and show the groups somewhere in the event detail view (to planners). Where would you put this information?

I do think we could make better use of our page width on desktop, esp. for administrative actions and information... We could e.g. on desktop move the event context actions to a sidebar to keep the center event and shift info clean.

Also, can you explain why people need this feature in the user story? Why do they do "invisible" events? Why do they need a tag? Who needs them?

This mainly used to mark events as draft. Planners want to create the event as a placeholder/reminder that this event may take place, but don't want to make it visible due to this uncertainity. Having a tag quickly shows which events are invisible, so the planner doesn't forget to make an event visible that is now ready to accept participations.

Another approach for this need could be the introduction of an event state. We already discussed the wish of other planners to have a feature where they could select/mark whether they already billed the event and so on. We could think about a set of states like draft -> offer sent -> confirmed -> invoice sent -> paid

alright, I think states mix with that other general event labeling feature we talked about. 👍
Not having set a group to show the event to sounds as described above is an (this) issue in itself.

An indicator on the event list will be implemented in #1452.

Closing this in #1452 but still some "draft" management for events might be desirable.
