Calendar Events [library support]

[Wormopolis]

they probably arent gone, but something is stopping the code from running before it starts putting events in. possibly some bad data stored. did you add using plugin settings or key? what was the event?

[Wormopolis]

I stepped through it, and it is actually throwing an error on

pb.plugin.get('wormo_events_calendar').settings

I think Tim Camara might have to look at that. several of your plugins are throwing errors whenever they try to use pb.plugin.get

did something in the core code change that we dont use that function anymore?

I see also that recent threads plugin is gone and i was not doing anything with recent threads, so it looks there is a separated database for plugin's data that has stopped working.

Update: And also threads metadata plugin is not working so definitely a general plugins issue. Nothing to do with the calendar, confirmed..

On the other hand, none of my plugins is working but I do not see anyone else opening a related thread in support board so i can think is an exclusive problem in my installation?

Well, enabling the event calendar plugin on your forum causes JS syntax errors, which is probably the cause, since a syntax error will stop execution of the necessary JS for plugins. Looks like the cause is the plugin key data for the Wormo_event_calendar key data.  This is how it ends:

"span_of_days":"1","time_of_event":"00:00","title_color":"","optiona
Looks like maybe it ran out of room and got truncated?

Yes, it looks there is a limit on the available space for a plugin key. For the events calendar, it looks that it is limited to something as 100 events or something like that.

support.proboards.com/thread/525808/all-plugins

so I think I cannot have the calendar that I wanted

so that would kill the get function in the other plugins as well? 


I didnt catch the key was truncated.. so well done good sir.  but now comes the question of being able to fix it...  is it going to let me use a set() function on a key with bad data?  I guess Im going to need to write in something that would keep an eye on key size so more events dont get added if the key is full...

if more events are needed, I will have to do what I did with Alters and make an extension plugin to hold more.  but that will also require another super forum key.

additionally you might consider putting a smaller expiration on past events so it doesnt keep tracking them as long.  it will delete the older ones to make room for future ones.

I think I will do both, add the expiration and buy also a super key. Is quite affordable. No problem with that. Can you have an estimation about how many events can I hold active? Hopefully, if the project picks up I would go for forums.net in future. I have not many sign ups yet, but there are visits. I still have to properly shape some parts of the forum to feel more confident before advertising.

I went ahead and deleted the dangling bit of key, so it should be functional if you re-enable it at this point.  Hopefully that'll help with recovery and any possible extension plugins.

[ponzinomics]

Thanks, the idea was good but events are not back yet.

Update, as commented by Wormo here, I will not access the calendar for a while since he needs to do some work on it.

[Wormopolis]

go ahead and turn it back on so I can trace out errors

[ponzinomics]

i added again to the menus

[Wormopolis]

Are you sure? everytime I check the site the calendar is still turned off.

[ponzinomics]

ups, sorry the delay in replaying. Busy day today. Er, yes, I think you are right. I just enabled the menu option. I have enabled now the 'Event Calendar' plugin as well in Plugin -> Manage. Hope this is what you mean.... Please, let me know otherwise.

Update: I noticed a problem. When I enable the plugin, all plugins stop working. So maybe is better to remove some data. If so, remove the first month, August, I think. So I disabled it again. What should I do?

[Wormopolis]

well That is what I wanted to check on was what was still in the key. Change the key write permission to "Everyone" for now.
