Has there been any further information on this issue?
This could be a big deterrent for long-term use
Especially in situations where the calendar needs to be used for historical reference, and past events can’t be deleted
I have managed to put a band-aid on it by using W3 Total Cache– but this only helps so much, one user on occasion will still experience the slow down as the cache is being rebuilt

I have noticed that the Advanced Post Manager does not seem to update correctly via the Dashboard

It says I have version 1.0 installed and that 1.0.6 is available, whenever I attempt to update (which shows as being successful), the version number remains at 1.0 and continues to stay flagged as out of date

I also notice that during the update process– which is supposed to be for 1.0.6, it is instead downloading 1.0.7:
Downloading update from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/advanced-post-manager.1.0.7.zip

Not a big deal, just letting you know

[Sam]

Sorry for the confusion

I made the change before I experienced the problem

I do not know if the change had anything to do with the problem, but I wanted to state that in case it was in some way related

The bug is tricky to pinpoint, just when I think I can reproduce it — the next day I cannot

From what I have experienced, and others apparently, I think it has something to do with recursion

I understand completely that there is no way to fix it unless it can be consistently reproduced — so the investigation continues

Thanks for your timely responses, I will continue to do my best to try and help

Rob,

I messed around with it further, I could only reproduce it with a Contributor account — it would happen after either clicking out of the box or clicking the x

ECP doesn’t natively allow Contributor accounts to post events, I had to modify all of the

if ( !current_user_can( 'publish_posts' ) )
return;


To be

if ( !current_user_can( 'edit_posts' ) )
return;


In the-events-calendar.class.php

That change could be the reason for the issue

I do not know what situation the posters above (who have experienced the same issue) are in

If I figure out something more concrete I will let you know

[Sam]

Rob,

Try something like this:
http://samjlevy.com/files/ecp_bug.png

– Save the event as a draft
– Exit the event
– Open the event again
– Make a change to something like the description
– Click save as draft again
– If it asks you if you want to update future events etc, click OUTSIDE of the box – don’t actually click any buttons
– From now on this Event won’t save – a spinning icon will sit next to the button, even after exiting and opening the event again

Looks like maybe it has to do with the ‘Update Future Events’ etc box, if you click out of it – the post wont save anymore

[Sam]

I have experienced the same problem, I believe it has to do with ‘Recurrence’

If you specify ‘Custom’ WITH an ‘End’ date specified, and the post has been saved/submitted at least once (such as an automatic draft) — all future saves will fail, clicking Publish, Update, Save Draft, Change Status, will cause an infinite spinning icon. Checking Firebug Console reveals that no HTTP requests are ever made.

This problem may occur with other combinations of recurrence settings, but I have been able to reproduce the situation I described above on multiple occasions

Please investigate this

Thanks

Trying to unsubscribe from this thread

Couldn’t find a way other than replying with ‘Notify me of follow-up replies via email’ unchecked

I hope that works

Sorry for the wasted comment, please let me know if there is a more appropriate way to do this

Hello

I would like to suggest having an option for a column to show the ‘Published Date’ or ‘Last Modified Date’ on the ‘Events’ Dashboard

We go through an approval process and would like to be able to see when the event was submitted for review (by a contributor)

Speaking of contributors…
I have to change lines in the-events-calendar.class.php so contributors can submit events:
if ( !current_user_can( 'edit_posts' ) ) // Changed from publish_posts to edit_posts so contributors can post
return;

It would be helpful if contributors could post by default

Thanks for a great plugin!

[Sam]

Excellent

I can confirm that installing APM fixes the issue

While we are on it — one suggestion, it would be useful if we could add the ‘Posted Date’ column instead of just the ‘Start Date’ and ‘End Date’ columns

We go through an approval process for calendar submissions, and it would be useful for the individuals approving submissions to be able to sort pending events by ‘Post Date’

Thanks Rob

Thanks for looking into this

In the mean time I have hidden the tribe-filters using CSS

[Sam]

Oops, the code didn’t paste

Thanks for the quick response Rob

It’s definitely something to do with the JS pathing (CSS seems to be fine)

For example,
[code]

[/code]

Notice how the local path is being inserted into the JS path

It’s running on Server 2008, could that have something to do with it?

Thanks
