Hello, I've been using jEvents on our non-profit's website for over 5 years now, and we really love what it can do for us : ) One of the awesome things is we can import events via iCal protocol into the overall jEvents calendar from our CRM system, which handles paid events.

It's been working great for years, but about two weeks ago the 'url' field in the #__jevents_vevdetail table stopped getting populated from the iCal file. We use it to redirect the user from the main calendar to the event details page generated by our CRM system, rather than the one created by jEvents upon import. See more here: https://www.jevents.net/discussions/open-page-based-on-url-field-instead-of-event-details-page

I'd imagine this is on our end as I haven't updated jEvents since June (we're on 3.4.50), but if you have any pointers for how I could troubleshoot this, that'd be awesome. I did check the iCal file, and it does include "URL" field/line.

Thank you!

Hello, any ideas on where to start digging?

I should have also stated this is on Joomla 3.9.15 and LAMP stack (PHP 7.3) if that matters.

The site: e.g. see the April calendar here: https://www.evergreenmtb.org/calendar/monthcalendar/2020/4
And when you hover over, e.g., the 4/29 "Progression Sessions" event, you'll see the jEvents URL, but when you click on it, you'll get (correctly) redirected to here: https://www.evergreenmtb.org/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/event/info&reset=1&id=799 (which is a CiviCRM-generated event).

For new events, this redirect is broken as the url field in the #__jevents_vevdetail doesn't get populated from the iCal provided by Civi CRM.

Example of the iCal feed: https://www.evergreenmtb.org/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/event/ical&reset=1&list=1&type=1

Thank you so much!

Hello,

That does seem strange. Can you please provide me with the iCal Link so I can run an import locally and just double debug the code?

Many thanks
Tony

Very sorry about this. It was a php7.3 issue with regex - needs escaping! Please see attached version which should work.

Many thanks
Tony
