Hi Ruud.

I think my system has become corrupt. Whether it's the code or the database I'm unsure.

I have a local server implementation on my PC:

Hi Ruud

Many thanks for a prompt reply.

Thanks Ruud.

Just a "correction" to my first post. Setting Start and End Times both to 23:59 gives an open ended event (I should have seen the comments).

Hi thyon

have you had a chance to see where I'm going wrong? - see previous post

Many thanks

I did try that thyon and it didn't work but as it was some months ago I cannot remember what I tried. But I will give it another go ........

Hi MacKP

You're right. It's not solved. I uploaded to my ISP and then discovered that once again I had mixed dates: some numeric (12334457) and some text (2010-06-09).

The problem is I am using...

Thanks thyon for putting me straight ;)

1. If you or someone else want to move this thread then I'm Ok with that.
2. I've no idea how the type field came about. It would be pointless to have...

Thanks Harley. Sounds very useful... just installed but doesn't seem to be functioning! I shall investigate more.

Thyon, sorry to post in the wrong area but it seemed to me to be a Taxonomy problem and I thought that was core. As I tried to say, adding items to the Taxonomy and then checking the Taxonomy table...

Solved!

Initially the dates were stored as numeric values but after I implement the calendarfield extension (which provides a calendar picker widget) the dates have been stored as characters...

I'm using catalog extension which builds the list for me. I was using catalog_simple but your email reminded me that there is catalog_simpletable that generates a table (rather than css).

Done. Maybe I should have added to the ticket that this error is stopping deployment of the application. I hope it is an easy problem to fix. I suspect it's the calendar widget that is over writing...

No problem. This is a many faceted system.

Good suggestion. I moved an item to between the 3rd and 4th list item and I added an item between the 1st and 2nd and both made no difference - still the...

Thanks for responding Vera.

Hi thyon

Thanks greatly for producing v2 - I've been waiting for this. I have now upgraded to 2.9 RC1 and my development with Catalog seems to be OK :) However it was incomplete as I was stuck...

I realise that there is more to do!

If I understand your problem correctly, you have a taxonomy something like this with 2 hierarchies:

OK. My first mod!

I changed it to

Thanks Medianomaly. Although thyon has given me a simpler solution that resource will enable me to understand how Catalog works.

Thanks thyon

Looks like waiting for the new version is going to be the best option and as I'm still in development mode it might be worth trying alpha 2, especially as you say in that

Brilliant!

Thanks thyon. I thought that only impacted the BE but I see it also effects the FE.

Sort of agree and sort of disagree! - pointless having functionality if it is precarious to ensure it's integrity.

I did check them all but to be safe will reinstall catalog_ext again.
