[8wayRun.Com] XenAtendo (Events)

[DoctorWatsOn]

Neither of these seem to be there/work if you've chosen the create a thread with this event option.

If I create an event without a thread yes, it works as you say. If you create a thread with the event it doesn't appear to.

Here's an event with a thread - the edit option is displayed next to the event title on the right, just above the start & end dates.



Does that help?

Ummmm nope LOL! Ok I'm wondering if its because I don't use the map?

This is what I'm doing:
Go the the calendar
Select the event from the calendar - this opens up the thread in the events forum.
The thread views like a normal thread with normal thread options.

Have I got something set wrong somewhere?

Not creating a thread makes it work as you and Oracle say.

 

[Renada]

Hmmm seems I must have something screwy somewhere because the map doesn't appear if I choose the post a thread option.

This is a fresh install of everything, forums and all Jaxel's add-ons.

You have hit upon Jaxel's favorite type of issue....permissions!

Go into your ACP, give yourself permissions to edit events, and you will be fine

Administrator already has permissions for everything

Administrator already has permissions for everything

Are you sure?

After installing this add-on, you need to check 'user group' permissions again, as 3 new permission levels appear at the bottom of the permissions list for XenAttendo.

 

[Ryan Kent]

Sec, let me do my Jaxel impersonation It's Permissions!!



Check your admin and then check EVERY group the admin belongs to. On a clean XF install the admin is a member of Moderators and Registered Users groups. If you chose Never for either of those groups, or any group an admin belongs to, the Never will over-ride everything else. You should try to avoid assigning the Never permission as much as possible. If you do use it, make sure it's not on any permission group which also have Admins assigned to it.

 

[Renada]

Right now I'm the only person there - I have Admin as my main group and no other groups. All admin permissions are set to yes.

I can edit events and do everything I should be able to do EXCEPT when a thread is created. The map doesn't show up if I choose it and I don't get any edit options except the normal thread edit options.

Am going to uninstall and start again because it worked with the map before I started from scratch LOL!

Are you logged in as someone with the right permissions to edit? You should be able to just click the events tab and then 'edit' on the event you want to modify.

 

[Renada]

As I said, I have the right permissions or I wouldn't be able to edit events that don't create a thread. It's a fresh install of Xenforo RC3 and latest versions of the add-ons so I'm just going to redo it all and see if that fixes it.

I've finally gone live with this add-on HERE and I've a couple of users copying over events from the old vB calendar and it seems to be coping well with the number of events...



The only reported problem is an error message if the event title + town & postcode is over 100 characters, however it still posts the event, but not the associated thread – odd.

Does this mean that the add-on has no title limit, but xF does for thread titles?

EDIT: I started this thread, as I couldn't find an answer - Is there a character limit for thread titles? and then stumbled across this thread [Fixed] Limit thread title entry to 100 characters, both of which could be handy for anyone else having a problem with this.

It looks like xF limits thread titles to 100 characters and also prevents you from typing one longer, whereas that's not the case when adding an event, which is made worst because it [brilliantly] pulls in the town & postcode (or city, state, ZIP code) as part of the title.

Is this something that can be fixed, Jaxel?

I've got the same problem hence me asking the question in that thread
I want to change mine to 150 but i'm to scared to go mess around in the database.

There's another thread about this issue now - [Won't Fix] title length - which has just about made it as clear as mud to me - LOL.

doh! lol

What is the difference between "Can Moderate Events" and "Can Administrate Events" ?

Are you sure?

Thanks to You, Oracle and ddmmh for trying to help on this It turned out to be a corrupted user and reinstalling everything again from scratch and not importing users from vb solved it

A moderator can edit events... an administrator can edit stream services...

Preview of features in the next version...


You can now specify a constant stream page, which can be found:
http://www.8wayrun.com/stream/


And a preview to "[8wayRun.Com] XenHablas (IRC Chat)"


This new chat mod will integrate directly with XenAtendo (if you have it installed)...
example: http://www.8wayrun.com/chat/
You can click on the (SHOW STREAM) and (HIDE STREAM) buttons on the top right control.

This chat is da*n nice - Looking forward to put my hands on that..

Hi Jaxel,

Well I was wrong it wasn't a corrupted user problem. The problem seems to be XenMedia 1.25.

I have a fresh install of everything, clean database, only 1 user.

Xenforo RC3
XenPorta 1.27
XenAttendo 1.25
XenMedia 1.25

The portal and events work perfectly. Install XenMedia and the map no longer shows up in the Events threads, nor does the edit event button. Disabling XenMedia doesn't fix it - uninstalling it does.

Without XenMedia installed



With XenMedia installed


Any ideas?

Regards,
Renada

I want to be helpful but I am not clear on the issue. In both of the pics you shared I see an edit button in the upper right corner, and a Google map. What is not working correctly?
