Description

I downloaded the latest release of Event Manager dated March 14th and tried to install.
Event Manager shows in my module list at admin/build/modules and the check box looks slightly greyed out, but does not allow me to check it. I tried to re-submit the modules list page, but that doesn't seem to activate it. No tables showing in the database and no sign of it in the settings page.

I tried downloading a fresh copy of it and re-installing, but still no go. Have not had any problems with install of any other modules.

Please advise, i would really like to try this module.

Before installing the Event Manager Module, both the events module and mimemail module must be installed. First thing to check would be that both of these required modules are installed and active.

yes, of course. i had the events module installed and completely overlooked the mime mail requirement.
sorry for the lame posting...

okay, so i installed mimemail with no problem and event manager as well.
I set the settings in admin and the user access.
went into an event and clicked on "registration_setup" and i receive the message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function event_get_offset() in /drupal/sites/all/modules/event_manager/event_manager.module on line 759

The event_get_offset function is part of the event module, should be in event_timezones.inc. The error message you received suggests that you may be trying to use event manager (currently implemented for Drupal, version 5) with a different version of Drupal.

I am using D5.7 event manager 5.x-1.x-dev and event 5.x-2.x-dev. I do not see an event_timezones.inc in this latest version of event.
Is it possible to patch event manager to run with the latest version of event?

If i'm not mistaken the latest event needs to run with the date module. This module does include a file called date_timezones.inc.
I imagine there must be a way to patch, but i am php-challenged.
Anyone?

I do not see a version 5.x-2.x-dev version of the event module. Could you possibly have version 6.x-2.x? That version is intended for Drupal version 6. The latest version of the event module for Drupal version 5 was last updated June 4th, 2007. It includes date_timezones.inc. For the event manager module to work properly, make sure that you are using Drupal version 5 and modules intended to work with Drupal version 5.

See attached image for more information about event module versions available as of March 29, 2008.

well, it's not an "official release", but it is there listed in the development snapshots - 5x-2x-dev (March 10 2008).

i believe i went with this updated version because i was having issues with date display.

(see attached screenshot)

There is currently no version 5.x-2x of the event module on drupal.org. You will need to download the latest version of the event module posted on the site for version 5 of Drupal - version 5.x-1.0. The event manager module will then work. Until then, there is nothing more I can do to help you with this issue. I am sorry.

there is currently version 5x-2x-dev of the event module located at:
http://drupal.org/project/event

Is there anyone else out there using Event Manager with the latest development version of event?

Please note that the Event Manager module is designed to work with version 5.x-1.x-dev of the event module. The dev version you are using does not provide the necessary api support.
