I've recently upgraded my drupal site from 4.7.1 to 4.7.7, and in doing so I seem to have lost the ability to create an event type. What I mean by this is that when I go to the create content tab, I have the ability to create a book page, forum topic, group, page, poll, or story, but not just an 'event'. The event module is enabled, and I do get the calendar in my menu. I can click on events that I've made prior to the upgrade and they show up fine.

I tried reinstalling the event module, but that didn't seem to change anything. I don't see anything pertaining to this issue under administer->settings->event, nor do I see any 'create' options (or even an event module listing) under administer->access control.

What am I missing? I tried going through the upgrade and install txt files that came with the module, but they both reference sections that are not there in 4.7.7 (for example, it says to go to admin->site config->modules, when there's just administer->modules; or telling me to go to admin/node/conigure/types, I do not know where that is referencing). I did not setup the initial drupal site (4.7.1), but the person who did is no longer around to get any information from.

Thoughts?

Hi!

Have you checked the version of the event module?

The documentation you're quoting from is referencing drupal 5.x sections; could it be that you're trying to run a 5.x version of the event module on a 4.7.x site?

Try the 4.7.x version...

Pete.

Hi Pete,

thanks for your reply. Just to double check that I did get the right version, I grabbed http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/event-4.7.x-1.x-dev.tar.gz

again, opened up the documentation, and the same information I mentioned before is in there. It seems that the documentation provided with this version is incorrect? Aside from that, I hadn't updated the module when I updated drupal, from an earlier version of 4.7 to my current (4.7.7), I just used the same modules folder from the old install. It was working prior to upgrading to 4.7.7, so I'm thinking that it wasn't a 5.x version.

Any other ideas?

Hi

I looked at the version of event.module on my test system, and the header says it's 'event.module,v 1.183.2.12 2007/01/31 11:23:24 killes'

If I go to administer > access control > Permissions, I can see 'create events' and 'edit own events' listed under 'basicevent module'.

I upgraded to the 4.7.x version, and everything is still working; in administer > modules, I have basicevent and event enabled as separate modules... hmm.

I'll try a clean 4.7.x install later and see how that goes...

You solved it! I hadn't enabled the 'basicevent' module, just the event module! Ahh, everything is working again. Thank you so much for your help Pete!!
