Author Topic: Upcoming CiviEvents PHP Block "could not find valid value for id" (Read 1107 times)

Hi all,

For upcoming events I have the following php code in a drupal block:

<?php

function cmp_date($a,$b) {
  if ($a['start_date'] > $b['start_date']) return 1;
  if ($a['start_date'] < $b['start_date']) return -1;
  return 0;
}

if (module_exists('civicrm')) {
  civicrm_initialize(TRUE);
  require_once 'api/v2/Event.php';
  // This example limits listing to public and active events
  $params = array ('is_public'     => 1, 'is_active'     => 1);
  $myEvents = civicrm_event_search( $params );
  if ($myEvents) {
    $count = 0;
    $last = '';
    usort($myEvents,'cmp_date');
    foreach ($myEvents as $event) {
      $now = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
      if ($now > $event['start_date']) continue;
      $startdate = date('D M j Y',strtotime($event['start_date']));
      $enddate = date('D M j Y',strtotime($event['end_date']));
             
      $eventid = $event['id'];
      list($title_place, $title_desc) = split(":",$event['title'],2);
      if ($last != $startdate) {
        $display = '<br /><b>'.$startdate.'</b><br />';
      }
      $display .= l($title_place.' '.$title_desc, 'civicrm/event/info', array(), 'reset=1&id='.$event['id']).'<br />';
      echo $display;
      $count++;
      $last = $startdate;
      if ($count > 8) break;
// this limits the number of events to 8 - put in whatever number suits you
    }
    if ($count > 0) {

    } else {
      echo 'No events found.';
    }
  } else {
    echo 'No events found.';
  }
}
?>

The block shows up with links to the events but when you click the the link a page is returned reading:

"Sorry. A non-recoverable error has occurred.

Could not find valid value for id"

Any help is greatly appreciated.

seems like there is something wrong with the php code. What is the specific url that you click on that gives you the error?

i suspect it does not have the id value as part of the url

Thank you for your help,

donald lobo's post at http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,2971.0.html fixed the problem. The exact fix was:

"[the script is] confliciting with another function in some drupal module called cmp_date. Just rename the function to eventpage_cmp_date and search for cmp_date in that file (it should appear at least once more, line 71) and rename it there too"
