Updated a website to PHP 8.0, on Joomla 3.10.x and latest Jevents. The latest events module no longer displays any events if categories are selected in the module's config. If all categories are removed events are displayed (too many), but adding anything else and no events are found even though there are clearly events within the parameters of the module. I can't find anything report of this when searching, so maybe it's something specific to the website, but figured I'd post first before I go down the rabbit hole.

Thanks,

-Bob
Cn you enable Joomla debug mode and search through the database queries - a quick search for 'rpt.' should find the right one. It will show which filters are being applied and how - it may give us a clue as to why your events don't show

Send you a private message. Can supply you an admin login also if needed.

I enabled Joomla debug mode and see that the module is looking for events in the category -1 which normally means none of the categories are accessible

I've tried modifying some obviuous settings but nothing makes sense.

Is it ok if I download a temporary copy of the site using AKeeba to run through a debugger locally

I found the problem - your Joomla categories table is corrupted.

You have a root category called 'Organization' marked as 'com_content' it should be ROOT with an alias of root and the extension should be system. If you update this entry then all is back to normal. It may well fix issues you may have with articles too

Not quite the change that is needed -see my screenshot. DO NOT change your asset_id or lft, or rgt column values but the others should mimic the ones in my screenshot Screenshot from 2023-03-28 10-13-36.png
