Venue problem

  • Hi,

    there seems to be a bug with adding venues when creating the event. If you try to add a venue to an event by hand that already exists the venue field gets jammed and you cannot add anymore a venue to the event.

    Steps:
    1. Create and event and add a venue to it.
    2. Create another event and add the same venue information to it.
    3. Push “Update/Publish”.
    4. See that the event has no venue and the event field has jammed (cannot search).

    A workaround is to add empty infos to the venue information and then use the search bar. However, it would be nice to see this bug addressed. =)

    Hi ap.koponen,

    event field has jammed (cannot search).

    what event field are you referring to? I can replicate all but that part.

    Regarding the event not having a venue the second time this is because you’re trying to create a new venue when one with the same details already exists. Perhaps it should display a message / automatically assign to the previously entered venue – but the second time, rather than re-entering the details, you should be selecting it from the drop-down.

    If the venue selection is jammed then yoou might want to inspect your browser console for errors and/or try deactivating other plug-ins/themes. I’ve encountered this a couple of times before and it has always been caused by a theme/plug-in loading their own version of the jQuery and/or jQuery UI library. This means you end up with two versions loaded on the page – and that inevitably breaks something :).

    Hi,

    sorry I mistyped. I meant the venue search field in the add/edit Event page has jammed (it does not reach to typing nor does the “Show All items” arrow work.

    Yes, I instructed the client to use the search in the future, but the user might not always remember that the venue has already been added.

    I would prefer both: Automatically assign to the previously given venue and give a message that the venue already existed.

    I do not see any errors in the JS console of Chrome.

    Mmmm – the venues are fetched by Ajax. It could be that an error message has been printed during the request. If you switch to the Network tab, and try using the ‘show all’ – is the ajax response free from errors?

    Could you reproduce this?

    Funnily enough as I now tried to reproduce the bug so that I could debug it with the Network tab it was working alright. I did double check (and actually checked once more just 10 mins ago), but now it is gone. I don’t think I did anything differently. I also did wait for a quite a bit of time for the AJAX to load before concluding that it was not loading…

    I did remove some events from the trash and did save again the Event Organizer settings. Quite far fetched, but anyhow the problem seems to be gone. It would still be a nice feature to see a notice or have an auto addition to save the clients from the confusion.

    Thank you really much for you quick answers!

    Not the venue selection jamming… You mentioned the ajax request took a while to respond – perhaps something timed out?

    Noted on the duplicate venue feedback. It could probably do a check via ajax to see if a venue exists with the same name and if so alert the user. Then, if they’ve ignored it, it can just auto-assign to the pre-existing venue.
