Same issue for me.

February 2, 2013 at 8:23 am

I have fixed the issue for now by replacing the event_list.php with the one from 3.1.29.1. Glad I had a copy. This is the 3rd time I’ve upgraded and had to go in and edit fixes into place. Each time I restore to original before upgrade. I hope this trend doesn’t continue.

I don’t have time to review the code in detail, but it looks like the change to using the events_detail category_id to pass into the query builder is being broken somewhere in “if using ” checks.

No need on my account now, Seth. The previous version of the event_list.php file is working for our site. As you know, the change to the event_list template is rather significant in the way it builds the queries. The conditional checks are returning a no results found in the query that gets built.

Roger – if you can replace the event_list.php file on your site with the previous, it sounds like your issue would also be fixed based on your description.

Cheers,
Bill

Thanks for the info guys. I will take a look. I thought I just added the fix to the query and didn’t change the category identifier codes.

Here is a (corrected) link to 3.1.29.1 in case anyone else needs it: http://ee-updates.s3.amazonaws.com/tags/event-espresso-3.1.29.1.zip

Just an update – backpeddled a version and it’s still not working. I’m using the shortcode [EVENT_LIST event_category_id=gdd] on http://jvcpittsburgh.org/good-deeds-day-events-alpha-order/ and it seems to be showing all events that are NOT in the gdd category. It’s like it’s EXCLUDING it instead. Can you look into this? Or send me a shortcode that is guaranteed to work?

When I try the “category_identifier=” shortcode, I just get a “No events available” error. I feel like I’ve tried everything. Please let me know if you have any ideas. I’m just trying to show an alphabetical list of everything in the gdd category.

thanks.

Hi all,

I’ve just attempted to update, and have had the same issue (shows “no events available” in my category pages). I’m not sure I can find / figure out how to restore to a previous version of my event_list.php, and when I tried to download Seth’s link to 3.1.29, it seems to have given me version 3.1.30.1 instead (tried to upload twice, and this is what I got), which has the same problem?

I’ve just activated version 3.1.28.5, as this is the most recent version I have available, but I’m concerned about compatibility with my addons, as I’ve updated all of my addons to the most recent versions, and I know there can be issues with conflicting versions of addons, etc.

Either detailed instructions on how to restore the php, or a valid link to the most 3.1.29 would be helpful…

Please advise the best way to proceed, thanks very much!

Sorry everyone!! Not sure how I got the wrong link and version. Was trying to help out while the kids were running amok.

Here is the corrected link:

Oh man! Not sure why this link is causing so many issues. Please try it now.

February 3, 2013 at 8:48 pm

I am having issues with my site as well. It used to display number of openings and event price. Now after the update, the site displays event id and gives the price as free.

Please see http://www.techjoynt.org on the right hand side wrapper with event categories.

Thanks,
Ray

[EVENT_LIST limit=2 show_recurrence=true category_identifier="100" order_by="date(start_date), id"]

February 3, 2013 at 9:39 pm

Is “100” the name of the category? Or the category id?

It should look something like this:
[EVENT_LIST category_identifier="event-public-1359942477"]

February 3, 2013 at 9:46 pm

Here are some examples of the shortcodes I have tested:

<strong>Public and Member Events (category_identifier)</strong>
[EVENT_LIST category_identifier="event-public-1359942477,event-member-1359942496"]

<strong>Public Events (category_identifier)</strong>
[EVENT_LIST category_identifier="event-public-1359942477"]

<strong>Member Events (category_identifier)</strong>
[EVENT_LIST category_identifier="event-member-1359942496"]

<strong>Public Events (EVENT_ESPRESSO_CATEGORY)</strong>
[EVENT_ESPRESSO_CATEGORY event_category_id="event-public-1359942477"]

<strong>Valentines Event</strong>
[EVENT_ESPRESSO_CATEGORY event_category_id="valentines-events-1359946576"]

These all seem to work fine for me.

February 3, 2013 at 9:52 pm

I do not have problem with category_id. I am curious why the events are priced as free when the register link shows $20/session?

What am I doing wrong. It used to work fine before the upgrade. Do I need to do something with the custom files after the update?

February 3, 2013 at 10:12 pm

Seth, I just sent the credentials. Promised my customers for an updated schedule for spring and summer camps this weekend. A resolution will be an immense help. Gracias!

February 3, 2013 at 10:50 pm

Okay everyone. I have just discovered the issue with the category shortcodes. It seems the change I made didn’t take into account existing events. There are two ways to fix this. Either edit/open and save all existing events or use the following fix by editing the event_list.php file.

Here is the template file fix: Open the event_list.php file, find line #128 and un-comment (removing the double slashes) that line, then comment out (adding double slashes) line #131.

The resulting code should look like this:

When we added the feature to use multiple categories in the EVENT_LIST short code, we lost broke existing categories because they are stored in a different table. With the added support for multiple categories, we started storing a comma separated list of category ids in the events_detail table. So I am adding support for the legacy and new category system.

Here is an updated version of the event_list.php file (that will be in the next version) for those of you that want to use 3.1.30.2:

Addt’l details of how I fixed it, assuming you have a back up of your pre-upgrade files or a download of 3.1.29.x
Copy (not move) the original/working event_list.php into the:
/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/event-espresso/templates folder.

Back-up the 3.1.30.x file first, just in case.
Hope this helps. Disclaimer: I’m not an EE rep, just trying to help out others. I haven’t had other issues from the upgrade, either. If you did, this may not be sound advice.

February 4, 2013 at 10:50 am

Irene if everything is working as expected, then you may be okay for the time being. But I would recommend updating as soon as you can. I am hoping to release this hotfix today.

February 4, 2013 at 1:48 pm

I opened and re-saved all of my events and it’s still not working consistently.

February 4, 2013 at 1:55 pm

jfedpgh are you using the default templates or have you customized theme at all?

February 4, 2013 at 2:19 pm

@jfedpgh have you tried rolling back to 3.1.29.1?

February 4, 2013 at 2:54 pm

Bill, I don’t think this affects the version of MySQL you are using. It just affects the way the categories are stored in the database. With the added support for multiple categories, we started storing a comma separated list of category ids in the events_detail table. But we still store the category relations in a different table, so the existing relationships will still work for legacy events.

Here is what is happening in the event_list.php file: http://www.screencast.com/t/HXQmDqypU

February 4, 2013 at 8:41 pm

@jfedpgh please let me know what happens. It seems the fix is working for others.
