Frotend: Event creation

[TopCop]

I just installed the new beta version on a Joomla 3.0.1 page.

When I create a new event in the frontend and click the cancel button nothing happen on my page.


And this is what my calendar module looks like on the left pane:

Hi @all!
I've Installed JEvents 3.0 Beta on Joomla 3.0.0. installation went without problem as well as activating the modules.

But when I create an event after clicking "apply" oder "save" I get the message
Fatal error: Cannot call abstract method FinderIndexer::index() in /mnt/web6/c1/51/5153151/htdocs/TedRichley/plugins/finder/jevents/jevents.php on line 258

This happens both in Admin Panel and Frontend

[Geraint]

Can you change line 258 of plugins/finders/jevents/jevents.php from

Code: Select all

FinderIndexer::index($item);

to

Code: Select all

$this->indexer->index($item);

This should fix it.

Geraint

p.s. Joomla is now on version 3.0.1

With the beta 2 version all my problems from above are fixed.
So far I didn't have any problem with the new beta version!

[Geraint]

Cool - thanks

[Ted]

Great! This helped, now it works

Can you change line 258 of plugins/finders/jevents/jevents.php
from
FinderIndexer::index($item);
to
$this->indexer->index($item);

Thanks a lot, Geraint!

Also thanks for the hint for new Joomla 3.0.1, but unfortunately my Joomla's update function permanently refuses to do the job...

-----------------
I'd like to report 3 other bugs I've found:

1. after having edited an event in the backend, a click on "save" delivers the message "There was an error - bad token...". No problem, when doing that in the frontend

2. in "mod_jevents_latest" - "basic options" a huge empty space "hides" the following options [which took me a bunch of time, cause the needed (and expected) options weren't to find...]

3. In "mod_jevents_latest" shown on my frontpage a click on the RSS-button causes the following white screen message:
"Fatal error: Call to undefined method JFeedImage::set() in /mnt/web6/c1/51/5153151/htdocs/TedRichley/components/com_jevents/views/modlatest/tmpl/rss.php on line 24"

I found that it didn't work properly either and had to do a manual upgrade.

1. after having edited an event in the backend, a click on "save" delivers the message "There was an error - bad token...". No problem, when doing that in the frontend

I don't see this - are you checking overlapping events?

Is it a popup message or a Joomla error message?

2. in "mod_jevents_latest" - "basic options" a huge empty space "hides" the following options [which took me a bunch of time, cause the needed (and expected) options weren't to find...]

These is where the club member options would appear which take no space by default in Joomla 2.5. I'll move them to another tab.

3. In "mod_jevents_latest" shown on my frontpage a click on the RSS-button causes the following white screen message:
"Fatal error: Call to undefined method JFeedImage::set() in /mnt/web6/c1/51/5153151/htdocs/TedRichley/components/com_jevents/views/modlatest/tmpl/rss.php on line 24"

You can to this as a template override

@Ted:

Before you can update a Joomla 3.0 installation you have to run a patch in Joomla 3.0
After you have done this you can update your installation to Joomla 3.0.1

Just have a look at the Joomla download page and you will find the patch file there.

Hi Geraint,

When I try to create an article, via pop-up window, on the frontend I receive the following errors (I have Joomla! 2.5.7 and I'm using JEvents v3.0.0 beta 2):

Code: Select all

Notice: Undefined property: plgFinderJEvents::$indexer in /clientdata/zeus-dynamic-1/a/d/adelaidehillsonline.com.au/www/plugins/finder/jevents/jevents.php on line 258

Fatal error: Call to a member function index() on a non-object in /clientdata/zeus-dynamic-1/a/d/adelaidehillsonline.com.au/www/plugins/finder/jevents/jevents.php on line 258

Thanks for a great component by the way, I'm looking forward to the future features of this new version
