i have upgraded my drupal to 4.6.0.
i am running into some problems.
i upgraded the event module. did as expected and the event_upgrade.php seems to have worked.
But when i go to look for my event in the calendar block i cannot find them anymore....
can someone explain me wtf happened ?

They seem to be in the db in the new table structure. But they do not show up!!!

I was having a similar problem and it was filling my logs with errors. I just disabled the event mod for now while I fix a few other problems.

I had a similar problem whereby the event_update.php did not create a direct flexinode copy of the old event structure, and as a consequence is missing the body field of the event. I have tried re-installing and updating, but cannot overcome this problem.

I am having similar problems.

Upgraded from 4.5 to 4.61. My events work, however the calendar and list are completely blank. Can anyone help?

Here's my event calendar page:

Note that it's completely blank, yet the block lists active events.

Any thoughts?

i'm preparing to do a fresh install of drupal, which will require some kind of events management, but reading of the bugs, i'm getting worried.

have you checked the events/issues area to see if your bug is reported already?
http://drupal.org/project/issues/event

or have you solved your problem since?

Haven't checked the issues page, but from the looks of things it's clear that this module is VERY broken in 4.60.

Hopefully somebody will fix it or release a better alternative.

I cannot seem to find the issue log on this. But has there been any updates or fix to this problem?

The problem: the flexinode entry fields only shows title and location. No start or end, no dates and no body description.

Hi Blicero,

I had major hassles with the event.module when upgrading..and spent so long trying to work out what was going wrong, I ended up just pasting each event acrosss manually.

how do you go about pasting the events manually? Can this be done in myPHPadmin? I am no good at mySQL scripts, so need help here.

the simple way is to use the mouse and CTRL+C button and logged in as admin, set the correct username when submitting the events.

the way I upgraded was by creating a backup first and using an /upgraded_version/ type folder. So I was able to ALT+TAB (on a PC).

hope that make sense. It's a pain, but, I found it was quicker in hindsight to jnust manually copy and paste across, rather than spend ages trying to work out what's wrong.

just to clarify: I was thinking of how I should manually update the events in the mySQL database... but the problem is that the table structures are all different in the 4.6 version of event module compared to the 4.5 version.

In the 4.6 version mySQL table, we have the 3 flexinode tables, and the event table as well as the node tables. In the 4.5 version, I event only used the event and node tables in the mySQL database.

I am not exactly sure how to pull the databases apart.

If I understand you correct - you actually had to re-post each event manually through the Drupal website interface?? Wow. That is tedious! :(
