Event-adding form shouldn't include docstrings (e.g. "dtstart")

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

Go to a calendar you have write access to, and follow a link to add an event

Go to a calendar you have write access to, and follow a link to add an event. Look at the explanation of the "Duration" field. It says: "The duration of the event (datetime.timedelta). You can compute the event end date/time by adding duration to dtstart." This is a docstring (from lib/schoolbell/interfaces.py). It's probably a good docstring, but a good docstring and useful help are not nearly the same thing.

These are the docstrings from the schoolbell ICalendarEvent interface. The automatic forms always include the docstrings along with the form widgets.

The problem here is that the interface's documentation is aimed at programmers rather than users.

I just tried to add an event and it wasnt working,

    * Module canonical.launchpad.browser.cal, line 685, in createAndAdd
      dtstart = event.dtstart.astimezone(

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'dtstart'

neuman:
I got an identical traceback in bug #2112

[Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt)]

One bug per bug report, please. This bug is about the docstrings only.
