Attributes now show Array, not data

  • I created some custom attributes as below:

    #_ATT{Group1}{A|A-|B+|B|B-|C} #_ATT{Leader1} #_ATT{Miles1}??#_ATT{Description1}
    #_ATT{Group2}{A|A-|B+|B|B-|C} #_ATT{Leader2} #_ATT{Miles2} #_ATT{Description2}
    #_ATT{Group3}{A|A-|B+|B|B-|C} #_ATT{Leader3} #_ATT{Miles3} #_ATT{Description3}
    #_ATT{Group4}{A|A-|B+|B|B-|C} #_ATT{Leader4} #_ATT{Miles4} #_ATT{Description4}
    #_ATT{Group5}{A|A-|B+|B|B-|C} #_ATT{Leader5} #_ATT{Miles5} #_ATT{Description5}

    I created a number of events using these attributes and all was working well. Suddenly, and not sure exactly when, instead of the attributes showing on the event page, I see “Array” everywhere. No data, just “Array”. Have I overflowed something? Or ???

    Any help appreciated.

    I looked in the database. Here is what appears in the database for one of the events.

    a:20:{s:6:”Group1″;s:1:”A”;s:6:”Miles1″;s:2:”52″;s:12:”Description1″;s:13:”Galisteo Loop”;s:6:”Group2″;s:2:”B+”;s:6:”Miles2″;s:2:”40″;s:12:”Description2″;s:29:”to Galisteo to 14 and reverse”;s:6:”Group3″;s:1:”B”;s:6:”Miles3″;s:2:”26″;s:12:”Description3″;s:34:”Galisteo, 42 to RR tracks, reverse”;s:6:”Group4″;s:2:”B-“;s:6:”Miles4″;s:2:”26″;s:12:”Description4″;s:17:”same as B, slower”;s:6:”Group5″;s:1:”C”;s:6:”Miles5″;s:2:”22″;s:12:”Description5″;s:17:”Galisteo and back”;s:7:”Leader1″;s:0:””;s:7:”Leader2″;s:0:””;s:7:”Leader3″;s:0:””;s:7:”Leader4″;s:0:””;s:7:”Leader5″;s:0:””;}

    And this is what the display of said event looks like:
    Group Leader Miles Description
    Array (blank)Array Array
    Array (blank)Array Array
    Array (blank)Array Array
    Array (blank)Array Array
    Array (blank)Array Array

    So I set up a test site and deleted all but 4 of the events. Now the information shows up properly. I will restore the events from a backup and try to see where it broke.

    Have you tried to edit custom fields / attributes in some way outside Events Manager?

    Have you installed another plugin / or code that relates to custom fields / attributes?

    Have not tried to edit outside Event Manager. I don’t believe I have installed any new plugins that relate to the custom field or attributes. In looking at the database with phpMyAdmin, the information for the field is correct. It just does not display properly. And not all of the events are affected. I am trying to figure out what makes some of them work and some not work, but not there yet.

    I cannot see any difference between an event that displays Array and an event that shows up properly in the database. I have looked at all the fields. When you look at the bad event in the event editor, the attribute fields show Array. If you edit them to correct the information, and update the event, it shows that it updates correctly but the data does not change and it still shows Array in both the event editor and in the event post page.
    I have manually created a new event that is a duplicate of an event that does not work and it shows up fine.

    Other steps I have tried so far to no avail.
    1. Copied a bad event into database. Event does not show up in the event list.
    2. created new event normal way, then copied the attributes from a “bad” event into the new event. Attributes do not show Array, they do not show up at all. I edited this event to create new attributes and they show up fine.

    Other than recreating all the bad events, which will be painful, I’d appreciate any thoughts on how to resolve the problem.

    hi,

    I tried this one and wasn’t able to replicate this issue either. does it happen when you updated EM or WP or not sure as you said above?

    I cannot say for sure what changed. I don’t look at these events every day. I checked each one when it was entered. A couple weeks later they were trashed. Is there someway i can manipulate the database so EM recognizes changed data. It would be easier for me to copy paste data rather than reenter it from scratch. Thanks.
