HELP! Problem with new installation of trial - Category Setup is stuck in a loop!

[Beren]

HELP!

I installed the trial tonight, and was unable to add a new event in the Event Manager. When you click the Add Event button the page goes out to lunch and only the header ever gets rendered.

I figured I would make sure all the settings were correct before pointing fingers, so I went back to Setup Manager and looked at each of the pages' settings. When I got to Categories, that page also went out to lunch. I got tired of waiting, so I used the browser's STOP button. Then, the page rendered, except I got the list of categories over and over probably hundreds of times!

Please help, my boss promised a client they would have something to look at before we buy the license, which will be as soon as it's working properly and I can get it integrated into their site redesign...

Which of course means I was supposed to have it done yesterday...

What database type are you using?

What version of PHP is on your server?

[Beren]

Flat file database.

PHP build info can be found here:

Thanks for getting to me quickly!

I've discovered that this is something specifically with the Zend Optimizer and PHP Version 5.1.1. I'm working on a solution to this and will post an updated version as soon as a solution is found. :)

[Beren]

If it helps, I installed the ionCube encoded zip version, and I had to download the latest ionCube loader DLL and files from their website.
Should I have installed the Zend optimized instead? The test script told me that the ionCube was the right version, based on the test script:

[Brian]

And you have the same problem with the script hanging when trying to add an event with the ionCube version?

[Beren]

Let me be more clear - the ionCube version is the ONLY one I've installed...

[Brian]

I'll have an update out tonight that should address this. It will be a installation that is specific to PHP 5.

[Beren]

Thank you very much! Can you reply to this thread when you have it? I will be waiting with bated breath...

Please download the newest tester script (just updated), then download the calendar distribution from the tester page, then re-install the entire calendar script.

I installed the latest code, and the Customer and Add Event pages will come up now. Thanks.

Unfortunately, the Add Event page is not working properly. Instead of a dropdown with the months, I get the following text: "SELECTED> January February March April May June July August September October November December"

Also, when I try to use the Date Picker I get the following javascript error: 'opener.window.document.thisForm.day0.options' is null or not an object.

Any ideas? I would LOVE to get this working so we can buy a license - we really like the product...

Thanks in Advance,

Beren

Here's the HTML source snipped from that area of the Add Events page:

Can you open a support ticket with the URL and login to your Setup Manager?

[Beren]

Absolutely. Thanks for taking the case!
