Bug report: in jev_listview category, specific events colour value lacks #

Hello,

Well that sure sucks! What theme is that on?

Many thanks
Tony

Yes, it does suck :-)

The theme is flatplus.

Sorry - your reply got missed

I can't recreate this issue - do you use the layout editor for JEvents? do you set the colour by event or by category?
What happens in one of the other Jevents themes?

It's cool.

I found that it was happening in these circumstances:
- had a category colour (but also had added that colour per event, including the repeating events)
- once I created specific instances, it was those which failed to get the # rendering before the colour.

Anyway, I simply removed any colour setting for the specific events... then the colour "flowed through" corrected. I'm not sure if the colour it's coming through from the category, or the repeating event, but it is coming through with #, so the colour shows up correctly.

Ahh ok so it looks like it's down to the events individual colour setting falling back to the category colour and on fallback it's missing the #. Does that sound about right?

No... falling back works. I discovered that by stripping the colour setting from specific events in a repeating series.

Before, when I didn't know that fallback would work, I had a colour settings in everythung - category, event, repeating event, and specific event in a releating series.

The # was only failing to show up in the specific events in a repeating series.

Thanks for the detailed explanation of where the problem arises - I had not been testing with a specific (i.e. edited repeat).

I have found the issue - at line c. 536 of administrator/com_jevents/controllers/icalrepeat.php you'll see

$data["X-COLOR"] = $jinput->get("color", "");

change it to

$data["X-COLOR"] = $jinput->get("color", "", 'HTML');

The fix will be in the next release of JEvents
