Set the publish own option to yes.

Hi Geraint,

i've set the option to "yes" and tried again - still the same problem: the events is not published automaticlly...

On your event edit page - do you see the 'published' field?

I dont really know what do you mean. Event edit page in the frontend or backend?

If i create a new event by usergroup autor, i can see the drop down menu (publish, hidden, archiv, recycle). By the way, the usergroup autor is not allowed to login in the backend.
And because of the not published event, there is no way edit it because the user cant see the event. <!-- s:? --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_confused.gif" alt=":?" title="Confused" /><!-- s:? -->

If i am in the event edit in the backend by using a admin user, i cant see a drop down menu with values of publish or hidden or anything. I only can chance it by using the button in the event list page, as you can see on my screenshot in my last post.

Have you edited or enabled the customised event edit layout? You can find it at http://www.YOURDOMAIN.com/administrator ... aults.list - is the "Event Edit Page" published? If it is try unpublishing it - it sounds as though someone has removed the published state setting in the edit page.

That works!

I thought that i can chance the layout because some fields like "contact" doesnt matter and my users could not know what to fill in when there are fields they dont unterstand so i deleted those fields.
I tried to keep it very simply because my users are about 80 years old (Beekeepers) and if there is a field they dont unterstand, i think they dont know what to do and after all they dont use the jevent component.

Is there another way to create very simply events? I only need: title, location, category and description.

However, Geraint - thank you very much for helping!!!!!!!!!! And sorry for my bad english. <!-- s:? --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_confused.gif" alt=":?" title="Confused" /><!-- s:? -->

Hi Waidi,
using the Custom Layout editor you can show only those fields (and obviously the date field). For repeats and multiday optiosn you can disabled them in the edit area of JEvents configuration. That should allow you to leave everything as simple as you want

Sorry but that doesnt work.

I tried to customize the code of the icalevent.edit_page like this and there are only the field that i want to have but with the problem which i outlined above in my first post.

This is the code of my icalevent.edit_page:

{{Nachricht:MESSAGE}}

<div class="adminform">



	{{Tab Start:TABSTART#JEV_TAB_COMMON}}

	<div class="row jevtitle">

		<div class="span2">

			{{Title Label:TITLE_LBL}}

		</div>

		<div class="span10">

			{{Title:TITLE}}

		</div>

	</div>

	<div {{Priority:PRIORITY# class="row jevpriority" #class="row jevpriority jev_none"}}>

		<div class="span2">

		{{Priority:PRIORITY#<div class="span10">%s</div>}}

	</div>

	<div {{Calendar label:ICAL_LBL#class="row jevical" #class="row jevical jev_none"}}>

		<div class="span2">

	</div>

	<div {{Lock Event:LOCK#class="row jevlock" #class="row jevlock jev_none"}}>

		<div class="span2">

		</div>

		<div class="span10">

		</div>

	</div>

	<div {{Event Colour:COLOUR#class="row jevcolour"  #class=" row jevcolour jev_none"}} >

		<div class="span2">

			{{Colour label:COLOUR_LBL}}

		</div>

		<div class="span10">

		</div>

	</div>



	<div class="row jev_description" id='jeveditor' >

		<div class="span2">

		<div class="span10">

		</div>

	</div>



	<div class="row jeveditlocation"  id="jeveditlocation">

		<div class="span2">

			{{LOCATION label:LOCN_LBL}}

		</div>

		<div class="span10">

		</div>

	</div>





	{{Tab Start:TABSTART#JEV_TAB_CALENDAR}}

	{{Calendar tab content:CALTAB}}



	{{Tab Start:TABSTART#Custom Fields Tab One}}

	{{Tab 1:CUSTOM_1}}



	{{Tab Start:TABSTART#Custom Fields Tab Two}}

	{{Tab 2:CUSTOM_2}}



	{{Tab Start:TABSTART#JEV_ATTENDANCE}}

	{{Attendance Tab:JEV_ATTENDANCE}}



	{{Tab Start:TABSTART#JEV_INVITATION_OPTIONS}}

	{{Invitations Tab:JEV_INVITATION_OPTIONS}}



	{{Tab Start:TABSTART#JEV_REMINDER_OPTIONS}}

	{{Reminder Tab:JEV_REMINDER_OPTIONS}}



	{{End Tabs:TABSEND}}

</div>

The best solution would be without two tabs, only one tab with the fields: title, category, date and time fields, discription, location.

I dont know how to solve this.

Disable the custom edit page layout.

In the JEvents config set the edit page to one tab on the event editing tab. Also disable repeating events there too.

Then see https://www.jevents.net/docs/jevents/it ... ing-screen for advice on hiding specific fields in the edit page using CSS.
