CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hi all,

I have been administering CiviEvent on a drupal-based website for about 4 or 5 months. When "public event" is checked the events have shown up on our calendar without a problem. They are also displayed on the front page using the script at the end of this post.

This week new events suddenly stopped appearing on the calender or through the script. The events which had previously posted still appear, just no new events. No changes were made to the site to my knowledge, and I have created several test events with no luck. Caching is disabled, and I have attempted to clear the cache. I believe I have checked the "obvious" such as: Do I have the correct start and end dates for the events? Do I have public event checked?

Any help is greatly appreciated,
Graham

function eventpage_cmp_date($a,$b) {

  if ($a['start_date'] < $b['start_date']) return -1;
  return 0;
}

if (module_exists('civicrm')) {
  civicrm_initialize(TRUE);
  require_once 'api/v2/Event.php';

Dave,

Thanks for the tip. I actually found that script on a site (can't find the link anymore unfortunately) and just tweaked it a tiny bit. I will do some research on script debugging, but do you have any quick instructions or advice on the debugging process?
