Calendar Past event cannot be edited

[Alpha1]

It seems to me that events that have passed cannot be edited by normal members. Even if they have permission to edit events.

I'm not sure if its by design, but there are legitimate reasons to edit a past event. For example if the date is set wrong (automatically is set to the current day) and the user finds out after a few hours (next day)

It's by design. There's some discussion about it around here but it's intentional.

I can see the point of it. But this design conflicts with prefilling the date with the current date. Because now if a member is not looking well they may just submit and will find their event locked when the current day ends. Which is especially problematic if the event is posted at the end of the day.

IMO one of the two limitations needs to go. Probably the prefilling of the date as it seems to serve no purpose and only confuses.

I've added an option to disable the pre-filling.
