Creating new event in front end

Hi,

I am webmaster for The Colorado Woodworkers Guild, and use JEvents for Guild calendars.

I have installed it in The Guild’s website, and have no difficulties with JEvents in that website. I have had major problems with that website in the process of migrating to Joomla 4, and am rebuilding the site in a subdomain of the site.

With JEvents installed in the subdomain, I am unable to add a new event in the front end calendar, nor can I get either a "Create JEvent” menu item or a “Manage JEvents” menu item to work in the website copy; though I define these menu items identically to those in the original website, the items in the copy website act as though they are not published.

What is going on here?

Is this something related to an install limitation?
Probabably a user permissions issue? How did you configure the permissions tab within JEvents backend?

Not a permissions issue, I am logged in as super user and JEvents permissions for everything is set to allowed for super user.

I am starting with a brand new Joomla installation using the Joomla full package install zip. I then install JEvents and the event schedule menu item, which generally shows an add event button simply does not. I am getting no error message.

Sometimes if I uninstall and reinstall JEvents, it works, but often not. What is the deal?

Just now I created a brand new site, and installed JEvents, and it didn’t work. The I uninstalled and reinstalled JEvents, and it is now working. This package needs to be more reliable and repeatable.

We've not seen this issue before.

This will be either a permissions issue - out of the box a new install a super user logged in on the frontend will be able to add events

The other possibility is that your site template or another addon on the site is interfering with the javascript that makes the + add event button appear.

If you can give me the URL and temporary credentials I can let you know why you are having problems.

Here is the login information for the site I am trying to bring up.

Login link at the bottom of the menu; calendar link (week view) just above it

Thanks - somehow you have ended up with no 'calendars' created/enabled - events are stored in calendars and classified by category. I created one for you.

Also the user who created your categories had been deleted.

The default category now works - you may want to edit your other categories and set a category admin user and fix the broken 'created by user' field
