Difficulty with repeat exceptions

[kellih]

I was trying to create an exception to a repeating event, but when I selected the checkbox next to the event I wanted to delete and tried to delete it, I got an error message saying, "Please first make a selection from the list."

Next, I tried to unpublish the exception so it would at least not display on the calendar, but whenever I saved it, the status would revert to "Published."

Any fixes for this issue?

Hello,

What version of JEvents?

Can you click the round icon next to the event in the list view to unpublish it?

Regards
Tony

I can click on the round "published" icon to unpublish the event...but that only works to unpublish every instance of the repeating event. There is no such option available to me when I click the repeat star icon and try to delete or unpublish one single instance of a repeating event. (For instance, if I normally have work hours on Monday, but want to make an exception for Martin Luther King Day.)

These are the specs for the version of JEvents we have:

Code: Select all

Joomla : 3.0.1
component_com_jevents : 3.0.2
module_mod_jevents_cal : 3.0.2
module_mod_jevents_filter : 3.0.2
module_mod_jevents_latest : 3.0.2
module_mod_jevents_legend : 3.0.2
module_mod_jevents_switchview : 3.0.2
plugin_editors_jce : 2.3.1
plugin_finder_jevents : 3.0.2
plugin_search_eventsearch : 3.0.2


3.0.2 has fixed a lot of bugs, but this one seems to still be an issue.

I just tested with Joomla 3.0.1 and JEvents 3.0.2 and I was able to delete a specific recurrance with no problems.

In the frontend login as an event deletor (i.e. you must have permission to delete the event) and navigate to the relevant repeat (Martin Luther King Day) and click the pencil icon and select 'delete this repeat'.

I'm trying to delete it from the back end. (I don't think it's set up to be able to log in from the front end.) I'm not seeing the pencil icon you're talking about. (Although maybe it's an issue with IE8 not displaying the icons correctly?)

I think I should have the permissions to delete the event. I gave myself all the permissions under the "Authorized Users" tab. Did I need to add additional permissions somewhere else?

There is a problem deleting specific repeats in Joomla 3.0 (which changed how the list items are selected for 'action'). This has been fixed on my development server and will be in version 3.0.3 out in abuot a week from now.

You can fix it in the meantime by changing line 48 of administrator/components/com_jevents/views/icalrepeat/overview.php from

Code: Select all

<input type="checkbox" id="cb<?php echo $i;?>" name="cid[]" value="<?php echo $row->rp_id(); ?>" onclick="isChecked(this.checked);" />

to

Code: Select all

<?php echo JHtml::_('grid.id', $i, $row->rp_id()); ?>
