Hahah, fair enough. I finally figured this out: I discovered that my entity has a canEdit() function that was returning false under some circumstances. Those circumstances just happened to coincide with when I was attempting to call my... view reply

Ok, I think I have an idea what's going on, though I'm still not sure of the root cause. I found that if I change the access_id during an action (like the edit action of the entity in question), it works fine. But if I change... view reply

Thanks RvR. No dice though. Just as before, my register_error() indicates the access_id is 2 immediately after saving. But anytime thereafter when I examine the access_id it's still set to the access collection id that was... view reply

Thanks for the suggestion, RvR. I tried that but unfortunately the same issue is occurring. It's really puzzling to me that I can do: $entity->access_id = ACCESS_PUBLIC; $entity->save(); register_error("Entity... view reply

In one of my plugins I let the owner of an entity designate other team members who can view it: $entity->team_access_list = create_access_collection("Our Team: $entity->title", $my_guid); $entity->save(); $team_guids = //...

  I found that if I change the access_id during an action (like the edit action of the entity in question), it works fine. But if I change the access_id in a view, or change it when the action is invoked via AJAX, it doesn't work.
  I could see why Elgg wouldn't allow access_id (or other entity properties) to be modified in views. I'm not sure why calling my action from AJAX seems to have the same issue.

Josh Henly replied on the discussion topic Why does .elgg-lightbox assume JSON as a return type? 2005 days ago

@RvR, I think his original question is this: why does Elgg assume that the output of an ajax view is in JSON format? The view that he is trying to pop up in a lightbox is not JSON, it's just HTML. But Elgg's AJAX code is... view reply

@iionly -- thanks for the reply. I had missed that the 'Event listing format' setting is where we could toggle a view that already uses FullCalendar. I just tried it out and it's pretty close to what we need. I found a few...
