I'm having a rather bizarre occurence when a user adds an event. After adding the event, the title that appears for the event is from a different event (this seems random, I haven't been able to track consistantly) and the "Event Author" is wrong (this always seems to be the same author however).

I noticed that when submitting, the second part of the submission (Schedule Event) defaults with the "All Day" box checked and the "Individual Date" radio button is selected and shows a default of what seems to be a random date instead of the current date.

Any suggestions would sure help! Thanks!

$BASE_DIR was set manually (but it didn't make any difference)

Sounds like your event's database file may be screwed up. Either have a look to see if all events conform to the first line or delete them all and start again.

BTW. I believe the record format in that file is tab delimited so make sure you use an application which can make them visible.

I'm afraid I may be looking at a re-install. There are easily 200 events, it would take me days to go through the events.txt file line by line (it's 22 pages of ascii). Plus, doesn't the schedule.txt file correspond to the events.txt file? If that's the case it seems almost as likely that the error could be in that file.

What I find odd is that when adding the event, instead of the Start Time/End Time/Individual Date areas being blank, they are filled in already and the corresponding (previously added) event gets overwritten, no matter what new day and time is added.

I realize this is all rather vague sounding, I don't even have an entry in the error log to recite.

Finally I think I've realized the problem here, and the kicker is that it's my own fault. Several months ago, at a user's request, I copied the events.txt file from one calendar to another, but on different systems. Apparantly I copied the events.txt file but the other files did not transfer. In particular, events.id (the importance of this simple file is perhaps underappreciated), schedule.id, and even schedule.txt.
Naturally the events.id file did not correspond to the number of events in event.txt. As a result, duplicate ID numbers were being created and the corresponding schedule.txt information was confused.

It's a wonder it worked at all.

Thanks for the help!
