Community Add-On :: More Categories not working

[Jim]

Hi,

I’ve installed the Community add-on and like thus far. However the “See All Categories” link is not working. It just reloads the page instead of showing the remaining category options

Hi Jeffrey, I’m going to move this to the Community Events forum where someone will help you there. Stay tuned.

Hi Jeffrey,

I’m not actually seeing the See All Categories link when I visit the add event form, which is in itself a bit off, but perhaps that’s just because of a difference in how our respective browsers are handling things.

In any case, it seems there is a syntax error stemming from the following file:

http://maps.gstatic.com/cat_js/intl/en_us/mapfiles/api-3/11/16/%7Bmain,panoramio%7D.js

I definitely appreciate you annotated that you tried deactivating other plugins and switching to a default theme – but just to be safe I’d like to repeat our full troubleshooting steps and ask you to confirm that you have tried running through these, as this problem is typical of a conflict:

• Please ensure that your Modern Tribe plugins are up-to-date and in-synch … for instance if you are using The Events Calendar 2.0.11 you must also use Events Calendar PRO 2.0.11
• Deactivate all other plugins (except for those by Modern Tribe) and change your theme to a default, unmodified one such as Twenty Eleven or Twenty Twelve
• Now test to see if the problem still exists
• If the problem has been solved by these steps, start reactivating everything one-at-a-time, testing at each point to see if the issue has returned
• If the issue does return, take note of whichever plugin (or theme) you reactivated immediately before it started again – it’s likely there is a conflict with this item

Hi there Barry,
I kind of came up with a work around, primarily because I felt a user probably wouldn’t think to click the link to see all of the other ‘hidden’ cat options. And I was on a bit of a time crunch 🙂
So I opened tribe-community-event-class.php and changed 2 variable to get all of my available categories to show:
Line 2200: if ( $i < 9 ) I changed to if ( $i < 30 ) [Since I have 30 categories a user may choose from]
Line 2214: if ( count( $cats ) > 10 I changed to if ( count( $cats ) > 31 so the “show_hidden_categories” message wouldn’t show at all.

OK, so if you’re happy with that then that’s great – we can always return to this later, but I’d strongly suspect the problem is the (Javascript) syntax error I mentioned in my last post, which would stop other pieces of code from running.
