Cant edit old, cant create new events, fields missing like description and location

That sounds like a javascript error somewhere on your page.

Can you give me temporary login details and I can see if I can isolate the issue. If the problem arises in the frontend I can test there as long as I have permission to edit an event (I won't need to save it to do the checks).

Actually, I think I figured out whats up. It's happening to any event that I use "quotes" in the title.

As soon as I remove the "quotes", the fields all seem to reappear.

I'll check that out - thanks for the insight!

I've taken a look at the code and have a fix for you - if you edit the file components/com_jevents/assets/js/showon.js at line c. 63 you'll see

                    if (typeof itemval !== 'object') {

                        itemval = JSON.parse('["' + itemval + '"]');

                    }

replace it with

                    if (typeof itemval == 'string') {

                        itemval = [ itemval ];

                    }

                    else if (typeof itemval !== 'object') {

                        itemval = JSON.parse('["' + itemval + '"]');

                    }

Then after clearing your web browser cache it should work ok again

I have what appears to be a similar problem but nothing to do with quotes. The problem is slightly different on the front end vs the backend and is primarily seen when creating a new event. On both, under the COMMON tab only the "Title" field is visible until at least one character is typed. Then the next field appears. As fields are populated subsequent fields appear.
Q. Is this intended behaviour?
Using the backend a new event can be entered, however my client does not want to use the backend but stick to the familiar front end.
The problem on the front end new event creation is the display, once a single character is typed in the "Title" field and the next field box appears is appears to have no width. If selected a single vertical line appears projecting down a number of lines but nothing can be entered.
Please let me know if I should continue this thread or open a new one.
Joomla 3.9.21, JEvents v3.6.5 Stable. The problem appeared just after upgrade to v3.6.5

Yes - but for a while you can continue to use the old editing system in the frontend using a config option in JEvents (first option on the event editing tab)

This sounds like a CSS issue with your site or template - can you give me a URL and login details to test (on the private site details tab) - I won't need to save any events.

Thanks for your prompt reply. Logins supplied.

The problem is that your template (Beez 2) is very old - we can work around this with some custom CSS. Create this using the custom css menu item in JEvents in the backend

#gslc.gsl-scope .gsl-content ul.gsl-tab {

  list-style: none;

}

#gslc.gsl-scope .gsl-content ul.gsl-switcher {

  list-style: none;

}

#gslc.gsl-scope .chzn-container-single .chzn-single > div {

  display: none;

}



#gslc.gsl-scope .gsl-content ul.gsl-switcher .chzn-container {

  min-width: 200px;

}

Thanks geraint, you're a star! I appreciate the template is old and there's been a ongoing project to update it but the priority keeps getting pushed down. We're a not-for-profit and all volunteers. This will move things along, in the meantime thanks for your assistance.

I also seem to be having a problem with my Front end editing page. I'm using a custom template, and have tried adding the Above CSS but with no better results. There is only a Title, and when I enter that only a small empty box appears. when I revert to the Old format in configuration the page isn't being made long enough to show the drop downs as they are added Its Jevents 3.6.5 on Joomla 3.9.21

Hello,

Could you please open a new post with site details attached so we can review?

Many thanks
