   <description>When creating an event with resources, if any of the booked resources are not available for that event, the only effects are:
 - message is shown to the user, which can be easily overlooked
 - no resource calendar event is created

IMO resources that are unavailable should somehow block the event. Changing Event.php around line 575 from
&quot; elseif($haveLock) {&quot;
to
&quot; else {
                $this-&gt;status = Kronolith::STATUS_CANCELLED;
                if ($haveLock) {&quot;
will provide an initial solution: the event status is set to cancelled, so it&#039;s much more visible to the user that there&#039;s something wrong.
Another idea would be to show the message as an alert box (still it would leave &quot;invalid&quot; events in the calendar) or to prevent saving the event unless all resources are available (might be too strict).</description>

IMO, this can just as easily be overlooked by the user. Not to mention that if sending invites to other attendees, they will receive an invitation to a cancelled event.

Not all resources might be &quot;required&quot; though. We would need to implement required vs optional resources if we do something like this. 

Still, I don&#039;t see this as a big issue since the freebusy info of the resource is available when adding it, so the likelyhood of a rejected resource is low.</description>
