Hi
I'm running a web site for a scout group in Norway, at gadegvill.no.
We use - and up to now with great results - all our calendering and event management through icagenda.

Yesterday, while editing a meeting, I saw that an upgrade to 3.5.1 was available, and pressed "upgrade" on icagenda's control panel.

After that, I've had several problems with icagenda:

1. The list of events starts with a bunch of warnings and errors and the events themselves are sorted in reverse of the normal chronological order. This can be seen on gadegvill.no/index.php/terminliste-ical
2. We have a calendar view of the events on all pages. There is now a warning on top of that calendar widget. This can also be seen on the same URL as above
3. Inside the Events list (as administrator), there are four drop-downs to narrow which events you look at. I do not remember seeing the last fourth column before "Front End Id", which has nothing in the drop down list. It looks wrong.

So, I would like to know if anybody has any help for me now. Our site is running Joomla 2.5.28.

Can I downgrade to a previous version of icagenda?

Or can this be fixed in some other way?

I was careless by not backing up the site before doing the upgrade, but as I've performed so many upgrades before without any problems, I did not take the backup.

temporarily solution:
set in backend the error reporting to "default" or to "none" (server settings)

Hi cortooms,

This will prehaps take away some of the annoying warnings, but the incorrect sorting will still be problem.
And the warnings are there for a reason: the code assumed some data is present but isn't or something else.

I'm grateful for this temporary solution, but it is not solved.

Just to add some more details to the warnings I see.
This comes over the calendar view:
Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given in ***/modules/mod_iccalendar/helper.php on line 809

These come above each single event:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in ***/administrator/components/com_icagenda/utilities/events/data.php on line 231

I also reverted to 3.4.0 because the colors in this release are TOTALLY DIFFERENT so my events aren't readable anymore

Copy the link from the 3.5.1 release and replace 3-5-1 with 3-4-0. make sure you also remove the -test part

I reinstalled 3.4.0 over 3.5.1 with no problems

Now it's time to explain how to create a theme pack....

Thanks for "fixing" my server folder paths, by the way. I guess that's one less script kiddie attack to our system

And also thanks for the answer.

I have lots of existing events in my system - we've used icagenda successfully for many years, and we've never had any problems with upgrades before. It seems that there is a dependency on using specific date formats that hasn't been there before.

I am not sure which dates you are referring to, but I am opening an event that we create beffore the 3.5.1 upgrade.
The URL of the single event is gadegvill.no/index.php/terminliste-ical/...ate=2015-07-08-18-00
This is the event furthest into the future, but it shows up on top of the event list (which is one of the bugs)
Going in to icagenda to edit this event, I see these dates:
Start date was 2015-07-08 18:00:00, that is iin the format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS, as you have mentioned.
Now, I tried to go into the start date entry field, and the TIME part changed! It now read 2015-07-08 00:00, that is at midnight - a different time!
This could have to do with me trying out different settings after I saw all these bugs.
What also happened is that the End Date field was overwritten! It changed from 2015-07-11 13:00:00 to 2015-07-08 00:00!! Now, that did not make much sense to me, so I changed it to its correct value: 2015-07-11 13:00

This seemingly did not change anything in the "upcoming events" list. It is still sorted the wrong way.
And I briefly turned on the normal warning level, and all the warnings that 3.5.1 is causing are still there.

I do not think there are ANY errors in our events or in the data, really, I think the bug is in icagenda 3.5.1. The events were listed correctly, in the right order, and no warnings were displayed in my previous version.

You should definitely fix the bug, as I am sure I'm not the only one experiencing trouble.

Can you vouch for the tip below: just install 3.4.0 on top of 3.5.1? If I take a backup of the site and the database first, I am very tempted to try it instead of "correcting" tons of date formats.

I really appreciate your effort in trying to help us. You say it is not a big issue, but to us it feels like a biggie.

And I really hope you're right, that is only ONE event that is causing this trouble. To me, it looks like software bug, caused by this upgrade. I think the previous version must at least have "tolerated" that event with incorrect time stamps, and this new version doesn't.

I have done as you requested and your email is sent.
