Dear community,

I have a problem with JEvents and I do not know if anyone can confirm this or if it is a known bug.

What I want to do?
I want to show a calender in JEvents imported from ICal in order to allow simple administration of the events in various end devices.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Install a plain Joomla installation somewhere without any example data.
  • Install JEvents
  • Go to the list of calendars (needs to confirm default settings) in the backend
  • One default calendar is shown there
  • Add a external URL-based calendar with a calendar URL https://nextcloud.christian-wolf.click/nextcloud/remote.php/dav/public-calendars/jW7s95LXXyy7BLR4?export
  • Reload site or navigate around and return to list of calendars


Expected behavior:
First only one calendar is shown and can be accessed.
Then the calendar is added. When returning to the list of calendars, both calendars should be shown and accessible.

Real behavior:
The first calender is successfully shown.
After addition all calendars get hidden. No one (not even the static, first one) is shown.

I found this problem on a production server, I do not want to play with. Thus I tried am minimal setup and had the very same effect.

Here is my settings (test system):
<code>
PHP Version : 7.2.11
MySQL Version : 5.5.5-10.1.36-MariaDB

plugin_installer_jeventsinstaller : 3.4.48

plugin_system_gwejson : 3.4.44
</code>

Same result here:
<code>

</code>

I just saw that the settings contains something with the text `gwejson`. During installation there was a message that something went wrong with the installation there. Unfortunately I do no longer remind the text exactly but some installation file was not found as far as I remember. This could be related to the main problem but not necessarily.

Thanks for your support.

Hello,

If you import your calendar it may create a filter which hides existing calendars but only to the admin. Clearing your cache and logging in again should show all calendars again.

Many thanks

Hello Christian,

Did you recently upgrade JEvents? This should have been fixed in JEvents 3.4.48. Also please enable the GWEJson plugin for JEvents to function correctly.

Many thanks
Tony

Hello Tony,

I just removed JEvents once more, dropped all related tables in the DB and reinstalled the most recent version. This is 3.4.48. During installation I get an error message like this: [attachment]screenshot-http://www2.wolf-stuttgart.net-2018.11.02-11-25-44.png[/attachment]. According to this question the error is not critical and only related to a translation file. So, ok, I will ignore it for now.

Then I go to the JEvents control panel and try to set up my calendar. See the series of screen shots. First everything works well and I think nothing bad had would happen this time. Then I clicked on the update icon in the 8th image. Then the calendar is no longer there and that's it. Returning to the site does not help much.

As you can see in the second last image gwejson is enabled but not translated (see problem with installation).

The very last image is a screenshot of the site with debugging system enabled. You will better download this one in full quality to read it. I do not know where to look exactly. I just removed the session cookie and the username/pwd.
As this machine is only for debugging purposes, I can make more or less arbitrary changes in order to track down this problem.

Thank you for your answer
