Well when I add the event  and I get  comfirmed that the schedule is added and the go to  approved and the iist to blank.

Have you confirmed that there is a schedule for that event in the schedule.txt file as well as the event record in the events.txt file?

Have you tried emptying your browser's cache? Maybe you're only seeing an outdated calendar display. Maybe try checking using a different browser.

Sorry but I don't have any other ideas what would cause it.

I have been having this problem also.

the event.txt has the listing but its not on the pending approval list!

------------------

[mc_sassenach]

ok I fixed the problem by changing the file ending to .text and uploading in ASCII and then changinging it back to calendar_admin.pl

the events now show up in the pending approval list however when I try to approve them they do not up date!

Well sometimes just browsing these forums inspires a solution.

One installation of this script has been working for 2 years and suddenly all events stopped displaying, including old ones that had been fine before.

After digging around for an hour I found the events.txt file was fine but that schedule.txt was completely blank. Not even a header row.

It appears that the installation server had a disk quota system in place with no scheduled means of deleting old log files. After deleting about 150 MB of logs, the events began reappearing. Because schedule.txt was blank, all old events were completely gone, even though they were still in events.txt.

So we want to blame the ISP. The fact is that text databases are hard on a server, they're clunky as a Monty Python dirigible, and when dealing with them there should be some form of testing in the programming beyond simple permissions to make sure we can write the file without producing an empty file. This script is not even returning errors under  these conditions. It just says "Event Added Successfully" with no indication you've just completely killed the calendar history for the last two years.

Just a FYI, I know it's just two cents.
