Problem and impact

The remark Unset to hide your schedule, e.g. if you want to use the HTML export exclusively. for the option Show schedule publicly suggest that you can have your schedule unpublished but still be able to create HTML exports.

The export unfortunately does not work that way but instead reflects exactly what an unauthenticated user sees: a bunch of 404 error messages.

Expected behaviour

The expected behavior is exactly what the remark mentioned above also suggests: even if you decide not to publicly show your schedule within pretalx, you should still be able to export ist.

Steps to reproduce

1. Uncheck Show schedule publicly
2. run python -m pretalx export_schedule_html
3. Check exported files → they just contain the 404 error pages.
4. Check Show schedule publicly
5. run python -m pretalx export_schedule_html abain
6. Check exported files again → they contain the correctly rendered pages.
