Hi there,
first, I'd like to thank you for the possibility to use your calendar as free. I'm providing an website with my own money but can't spend it for all extensions I like to use.
Now to the problem.
Every year it is frustrating to import entries to the calendar, because there are everytime new problems to solve. I use the import function at 4th time and tried it in the same way like 2014, 2013 and 2012. The txt-file looks like this (I used the file from last year with updated dates):
I tried to create a new calendar with this file an get this error:
After that error I had a look at the entries "which are made".
Only the first entry in the txt-file is displayed at the backend.
I deleted it and want to delete the calendar too, but it is not possible, because it gives me the feedback that there will be some lost entries when it would be deleted.
But I can't find any entries in the calendar, so I can't delete them first.
There is also no way to save a new txt-file or update the old in the existing calendar.
I am not an specialist and do not know where the problem is. At my webserver or in any installation of Joomla/JEvents.
I hope you can help me solve the problem(s).
In this way I have a feature request for you.
I also use ACYMailing. There you can import new users with comma separatet fields in a simple text area by copy and paste. Additional it is not needed to ad " at every data field.
See this example:
It would be so much easier for non professional useres whith this feature in JEvents...
But more: I didn't know any other system who uses the date-format yyyymmddThhmmss. It's a lot of work for non-specialists to convert the ordinary human-written dd.mm.yyyy to this. This could be much more comfortable.

the warning can be ignored - if you set Joomla error reporting to 'none' is will not appear.
You can use any date format that strtotime (a php function) recognises. e.g. YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY/MM/DD etc.
You may need to put "" in the DTEND column as opposed to a blank entry.

Hi Geraint,
thanks for your answer.
I turned off error reporting in Joomla! and I putted "" wherever there is no entry in the events . It looks like this:
Important: The txt-file has to be UTF8-fomatted for German letters like ä,ö,ü,ß
JEvents has problems creating or match categories with these letters when it is no UTF8-format.
I did an import and it works.
Now there es a new Problem which causes in this:
I tried to delete the one old calendar, created with wrong txt-file.
I got this message:
I only found one event but can't delete it in the Joomla backend in different ways.
Everytime I tried, the message was, that i have no permissions to delete it.
While it was not possible to delete it in the backend, I tried to find the entry in MySQl database.
I found it in the table "jevents_vevent" and deleted it there (of cours without a backup of the database....
)
Now i had a look in the backend and the entry wasn't listed anymore. But the calendar still can't be deleted.
So I had a look at the categories and found one named "orphans" (I never createt this)
I tried to delete it and it said there where events in it which has to be deleted first.
O.K. - gone to "Manage Events" i filtered to category "orphans".
I now get this error message:
I get this message also when I try to view "Manage Events" with "Hide past events - NO"
I have to logout and login in Joomla backend to get e new access in "manage Events" with default view-settings.
At the frontend, there is no event listed in the year-overvies, filtered to the category orphans.
There is also no error message in the frontend.
Courious at this point: The event I deleted in MySQL wasn't in the past. It took place on 17.07.2016
Did i destroy my JEvents installation? In Frontenend it works fine
Is there any way to repair it and delet the calendar with the category "orphans"
I don't want to have waste or orphan events in my system.
Kind regards
Wolfgang

Hello Wolfgang,
Can you open:
/component/com_jevents/libraries/dbmodel.php
look for:
At around line 2261 and replace it with:
You can see this change on GitHub:
https://github.com/xtech86/JEvents/comm ... c1e452a6f4
Then once done, go to JEvents -> Configuration and save.
Now, go to: JEvents -> Categories and publish the orphaned events category.
Then view the manage events screen and try viewing past events to trash them, then empty the trash.
Many thanks
Tony

I would recommend you upgrade to JEvents 3.4.5 - this may well resolve your issue.

I'm sorry, but trust in automatic update service at Joomla! backend.
This has updated this morning to JEvents 3.2.21 Stable and I thought it is the latest version.
Is 3.4.5 an all new component or is it possible to install it over the existing 3.2.21?
I've made some changes in layouts and hope they wouldn't be deletet with an update.
Thanks
Wolfgang

Hello Wolfgang,
You need to download 3.4 manually as this contains jQuery changes and could cause unforseen issues.
If you find any we are here to help.

Hello,
I have fixed this on your site and was caused by a very rare scenario where no evdet_id was not set. Due to an error with one of your events.
You can view past events now.

Hi Tony,
thank you. The first problem is solved.
I found an event in category orphans from 1970-01-01.
I tried to delete it. but it doesn't work. I only get this message:
Master event published state successfully changed.
I also can't change the publish-status or title of the event. Nothing take effect.
In cause this event exists, the category "Orphans" and the calender "delete" can't be deletet finally.
Would you mind to have al look again, how to solve this?
Kind regards
Wolfgang
