New Event Calendar v1.21b up to V1.3

[i2Paq]

Yep, that does the trick!

Ok, so, how do I correct the faulty ones without having to destroy all the data in the calendar(s)?

I will create a update script as well, as soon as I find some time.

Well, found out that I have a time problem for the next month or so.
So I placed the files of Matthias in the zip file and placed that on the Completed modules list.
Did add the contents of file repair_event_search .php in to upgrade_event.php

Ok, so, how do I correct the faulty ones without having to destroy all the data in the calendar(s)?

i2Paq run the repair_event_search .php from Matthias.
Or if you download the module again from the Completed list run upgrade_event.php

OK, I will first test it tonight on an almost empty DB

It works! Thanks!

I just installed the latest version of this calendar, and it installed fine, but my event descriptions and links do not show up..   I saw a couple posts about it in this thread, but no solutions.

After doing some testing here is what I found, when on the admin page, I click on 'add event' it then pops up with a message saying "Success" then waits about 2 seconds and goes to the add a link page.

At this point, with out doing anything, I look at the database, and an entry is created that looks like this;
+---------+------------+----------+------------+------------+-------------------+-------------------+
| page_id | section_id | event_id | date       | event_desc | evweb_url         | name_link         |
+---------+------------+----------+------------+------------+-------------------+-------------------+
|      50 |         50 |        2 | 2005-11-10 |            |                   |                   |
+---------+------------+----------+------------+------------+-------------------+-------------------+

(Basically its blank)

I fill out the form for the new entry, hit save, and it takes me back to the pages menu.. Nothing else is added to the database.

Something is not right here..  Anyone know why this is happening?

Well I have just installed the modules that I just downloaded from the completed modules list on a clean WB.
And I cannot reproduce the problem.

Your discription is correct, if you say add. it will create a blank entry in the database, you then jump to the modify script.
and add more data to the database entry.

But can you see under "Modify/Delete Events" something like this:
Settings | Add Event
 :  -  11-11-2005 Event:   

P.S.
Dit you save the settings on the begin page???

[BlackLotus]

Hi, I have nearly the same problem.
When I add an event, it is saved, but with no text inside.

And my other problem is that when I install the event calendar, it is apache who ownes the files, so I cannot change the language file. Is there a possibility to add a php code, to chmod to 777?

Yes, I see an event in there that looks like what you said, but if I modify it, and then save, nothing saves.  And yes, settings were saved on teh begin page.

I am at a loss as to why this does not work for me, and why you can not reproduce the problem.  But I also see other people are having the same problem, so I do not believe it is 'just me'...

Some more trouble shooting information.. In the save_event.php code, I added this little bit of code, for debugging.

Code:

// Get id
if(!isset($_POST['event_id']) OR !is_numeric($_POST['event_id'])) {
        echo "Bombed out here....<br>";
        while (list($key, $value) = each($_POST)) {
        echo "Key: $key; Value: $value<br>\n";
        }
        exit(0);

        header("Location: ".ADMIN_URL."/pages/index.php");
}

The output in the web browser looks like this

Code:

Bombed out here....
Key: section_id; Value: 50
Key: page_id; Value: 50
Key: event_id; Value:
Key: month; Value: 11
Key: day; Value: 15
Key: year; Value: 0
Key: copydays; Value: 1
Key: event_desc; Value: This is a test.
Key: evweb_url; Value: This should be the URL field
Key: save; Value: Save

So it looks like event_id is not being passed to the save_event.php routines..  Any ideas?

[pcwacht]

maybe you ahve register_globals off ??

I had same with the addon template edit.
Some variables were passed, others not. Digged in the code to see why.
add a hidden field with event_id to the form. And get it.

Yes register_globals is off, and it should be.  Leaving them on is bad security wise.

What is the event_id? I believe this is stored in the sql database, so it should be getting this veriable when it gets other veriables stored in the sql database.

Also looking at the source of the form, I see this. 

Code:

<form name="modify" action="http://webdev.santarosa.edu/wb/modules/event/save_event.php" method="post" style="margin: 0;">
<input type="hidden" name="section_id" value="50">
<input type="hidden" name="page_id" value="50">
<input type="hidden" name="event_id" value="">

So it looks like when it creates the form, it does try to add the event_id, its just blank..

Also in the sql table, it shows the event_id field, with a valid value.

Code:

mysql> select * from wb_mod_event_dates;
+---------+------------+----------+------------+------------+-----------+-----------+
| page_id | section_id | event_id | date       | event_desc | evweb_url | name_link |
+---------+------------+----------+------------+------------+-----------+-----------+
|      50 |         50 |        2 | 2005-11-10 |            |           |           |
+---------+------------+----------+------------+------------+-----------+-----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

So somewhere in the code that makes the form, when editing an entry, it loses the event_id veriable.

Ok, so this is a register_globals issue, so a quick fix is to add the following line at line #37 in change_event.php

Code:

$event_id = $_GET[event_id];

If more php programmers would realize that register_globals is bad, and now comes defaulted to turned off, life would be much simpler.

I tried using the event calendar with my new install of WB. I was given the following error message.


Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/mrsimmo/public_html/wb/modules/event/modify.php on line 32

Can you help me troubleshoot this?

Thanks,

I don't see anything wrong in that line..

Code:

$fetch_page_content = $query_page_content->fetchRow();

But doing a google leads me to think maybe its an issue with the version of PHP that you are running.

Offtopic :

Not that I think I am a good coder, but when new default is off and register_globals is bad, I changed php.ini on test - coding system to off.

Since I have not tested  this module I thought why not ask since a lot of people downloaded and installed this module...

Would it be possible to create an overview of events that looks simular as the following table:

+---------+-------------------------------+-----------+
| date    | Activity/Event                | Location  |
+---------+-------------------------------+-----------+
|         |                               |           |
|         |                               |           |
|         |                               |           |
|         |                               |           |
|         |                               |           |
|         |                               |           |
+---------+-------------------------------+-----------+


So you list the first upcoming event and all the other events are listed in this table? Hope to hear something like this is possible...

WB newbie here, trying it out for a couple customer sites.

I just thought that I'd point out that this module, in the 1.21c version, is still producing an extra head and body tag, despite the reference to that having been fixed.

[Lou]

This looks like just the module I'm looking for.  Does it work for 2.6.0?

[JesseG]

I had the same problem until I turned on REGISTER_GLOBALS in my PHP configuration. It's not good securoty practice to leave this setting "on", though, so I hope you'll fix that problem soon. Thanks.

        echo "Key: $key; Value: $value<br>\n";

I'm a complete newbie at all this, but I've just uploaded this module (1.21c) and it will not show, or seem to save, the events that I enter. I am using WB 2.6.

Is this a problem others have encountered? Can anyone help please?


 
Sorry about that post. I obviously can't read!! I now see the solution has already been posted.

[cmiper]

Greetings...

Thanks for this module, it works well and was exactly what I needed to add to the site I am working on.

Now, for a question...
Is there a way to get around the 256 character limit when posting an event?  When entering the event info, you can surpass 256 letters, but once submitted, the event is truncated to 256.  If you go back and edit the event, it is now 256 letters long.

I am running into a few cases where the amount of info for the event is lengthy and not fitting to the event posts.

Thanks for any info.

Hi,
i hav the latest version of WB and events installed.
When I wanna chage/add an event I can't change the year.

I am shown an option drop-down with options from -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.
And no change to edit the event correctly and modify existing events.

I already downloaded all files of the event module to my local server. There I don't have any problems. I don't know. Maybe another databesa error? (I yesterday did a brand new install so there should not be an database transfer error).

Please help me out!
Thanks!
