[Plugin: Events Manager] entry-form.php – doesn't display 'Success Message'

are you using buddypress?

No, I’m not using Buddypress

did you try:

global $EM_Notices;

then something like

$EM_Notices->add_confirm("")

No I haven’t tried anything yet.
I am not a developer, so if things don’t work ‘as is’, I have no idea of what to try to get them working.

I would have no idea where to even put the code you have suggested.

Do I need to add some code somewhere or should it work ‘as is’?

should work as is (for non-logged in users only). does it give an error say if you don’t add a location

have you also tried disabling other plugins and/or using twenty ten?

Yes, I get an error message if I don’t enter a location or leave out dates, etc.

I’ll go and test on my ‘test’ site now to check other plugins and theme. Will let you know how I go.

No, still doesn’t work.
I’ve deactivated all plugins and using Twenty Ten, but still no Success Message.

for now, whilst it’s beta, not sure what to say ?? it might fix itself in subsequent updates.

I also have these issues.

I have this issue as well with my BuddyPress install. I tried saving the success message as an error as those seem to show up, but still no dice. It works in a fresh install so it must be theme related but I just can’t pin it down.

To patch it for now, I just save the success notification in a session variable, print it to the screen, then clear the variable. I will dig up the code.

Changed event-editor.php line 47 to :

<?php echo $EM_Notices;
	$message =  $_SESSION['EM_Success'];
	echo $message;

	add_action('wp_footer','remove_status');
	function remove_status()
	{
		if($_POST['event_name'] == null)
			{
				$_SESSION['EM_Success'] = '';
			}
	}

	?>

Changed em-event line 404 to:

$this->feedback_message = __ ( 'New recurrent event inserted!', 'dbem' );
					return apply_filters('em_event_save', true, $this);
					$_SESSION['EM_Success'] = 'New recurrent event inserted!';
				}
				//Successful individual save
				$this->feedback_message = __ ( 'New event successfully inserted!', 'dbem' );
				$_SESSION['EM_Success'] = 'New event successfully inserted!';

Basically, When event is saved, save notice to $_SESSION[‘EM_Success’], when you load the editor, if $_SESSION[‘EM_Success’] has a value print it out. If the user did not just submit a new event clear $_SESSION[‘EM_Success’]

thanks for the patch, not ideal but will be looking further into this

No problem, I know it’s a bit of a dirty fix. My thread on this is here : https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/plugin-events-manager-new-event-no-save-successful-notification

The only error I found in debug mode was :

Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/mnichols/opspedia/bp1.2upgrade/var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-activity.php:246) in /home/mnichols/opspedia/bp1.2upgrade/var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/events-manager/classes/em-notices.php on line 11

Checked for blank spaces and all the usual “headers already sent” junk, did not find anything. The strange part is that the notifications work when I am in debug mode.

The patch is way over my head but I am in a place where because I have affected my theme template files (Weaver-theme) already with the Buddypress template pack, now my front end submission as a guest only works with buddypress installed. Oh brother.
