Community Events Broken after update

[johnfheritage]

After the most recent update the Community Events add on doesn’t function:
http://www.grnow.com//events/community/add

I have adjusted the settings and tried to troubleshoot without resolution.

Hey John,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

It looks like there is a fatal PHP error on that page that doesn’t really give us too much specific information about what is going on exactly on the page.

I did a bit of research and was curious if you’re currently using W3 Total Cache plugin? If so, try disabling any minification settings in there and see if that addresses the issue here.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!

I am running Total Cache and I disabled all minification settings. The issue still exists.

Howdy johnfheritage,

Thanks for giving that a go. It looks like you have been googling the issue too. Disabling minification helped one other Total Cache user.

I was hoping that Total Cache would be the issue, but since it’s not can you do a broader conflict test (click here for guide)? It’s basically a guarantee that this is a conflict of some sort. And running through those steps will help narrow it down, putting us one step closer to a solution.

Let us know if you have any questions along the way. Cheers!

Hello,

I narrowed my issue to a widget that was in the sidebar. After eliminating each widget one by one it turns out the problem is being caused by the Events Calendar Pro Mini-Calendar widget. It is also ONLY affecting the edit page for the community events.

So this plays out as when someone attempts to submit an event to our site, they receive this error.

As this error is caused by a Events Calendar Plugin, what’s your suggestion?

Hey John,

Thanks for running through those steps for us!

I’m trying to recreate the issue in order to open a bug ticket for this, however I’m having trouble doing so. A couple of quick questions:

1. Is this the widget that you’re currently using that was causing the conflict https://cloudup.com/crjSecWAh1b
2. What is your current selection for the Events template under the Event Settings > Display tab within your WordPress dashboard?
3. Can you try re-adding that widget and then switching to a default WordPress theme to see if the issue persists then?

Thanks!

Responses to your questions are ordered below.

1.) That is the widget I’m currently using here is a screen shot of my settings. https://cloudup.com/iupgEBI6s2g

2.) I’ve also included a screen shot of my current settings for the template under “Display” https://cloudup.com/caS7rMeouBO

3.) It does seem to function on 2015, however, the only modification made to the mini-calendar widget is the addition of this Event Submission button. So if this is a problem I created, is there any insight you can offer on what I should be looking at?

Thanks again!

I wanted to include the code for my widget calendar template, just to see if this helps at all…

<?php
/**
 * Events Pro Mini Calendar Widget
 * This is the template for the output of the mini calendar widget. 
 *
 * Override this template in your own theme by creating a file at [your-theme]/tribe-events/widgets/mini-calendar-widget.php
 *
 * @package TribeEventsCalendarPro
 *
 */

if ( !defined('ABSPATH') ) { die('-1'); } ?>

<?php $args = tribe_events_get_mini_calendar_args(); ?>

<!-- Removing this wrapper class will break the claendar javascript, please avoid and extend as needed -->

<div class="tribe-mini-calendar-wrapper">
	<!-- Grid -->
	<?php 		

		tribe_show_month( array(
			'tax_query' => $args['tax_query'],
			'eventDate' => $args['eventDate'],
		), 'pro/widgets/mini-calendar/grid' ); ?>

	<!-- List -->
	<a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>events/community/add">
        <button class="events-community-submit">Submit Event</button>
    </a>
	<?php
	if ( 0 < $args['count'] ) {
		tribe_get_template_part( 'pro/widgets/mini-calendar/list', null, array( 'venue' => true ) );
	}
	?>

</div>

Hey John,

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!

To update everyone on this issue. The latest updates to Events Calendar and Events Calendar PRO have fixed this bug.

Thank you for fixing the bug… However claiming responsibility for it in the first place could have saved us all a good deal of trouble here.

Thank you!

Hey John,

Thanks for following up with us and glad that this issue has been resolved.

This issue wasn’t directly addressed in the latest release. There’s potentially another issue here where what you experienced was a different symptom of a different problem.

I’ll go ahead and close this thread for now. If you have any further questions please don’t hesitate to open a new thread.

Thanks!
