I've installed the "Classes" app on my test installation, and it's exactly what we need. I want to use it without "Courses" - and on the test installation, I was able to. When used without "Courses", the "Classes" app adds a small bit of functionality to both events and groups - letting you add a list of "classes" to an event or group. I was going to disable event "sessions" (which just gives you a static list of things that can't be clicked) and replace it with "classes".
Now I'm trying to install it on the live version of the site, and I can download it, but when I click the install button, it does not actually install. It just gives me the spinning icon forever.
Is it supposed to be possible to use "Classes" without "Courses"?
If I have to, I can use "posts" to introduce this functionality (we aren't using posts anywhere) but it will be complicated because I would have to disable a ton of things to configure posts so that they are only available to admins/moderators and they only exist in events or groups, and not as their own module! And I like how there is an option to view the next or the previous class too, and mark them as complete.
Email says it's a database error! No clue what it means, but here is the message in the email:
Then there are long strings of code which I am attaching as .txt files!
Hello @Indie Sellers Guild !
The attached error means that the removal of the Class app hasn't been completed properly. Could you please specify if you changed smth in your UNA site's SQL files?
Oh interesting. Nope, definitely haven't modified any SQL files. Everything I've done to the site has been with the options available in Studio - and I have a test installation that I try everything on first before trying it on the real site because I'm afraid I'll do something dumb and break it! I have developer installed but I just use it to put blocks to "copy" so I can use them on other pages.
We can wait to troubleshoot Classes. I think we might use it for our next event, but that will be 6 months from now or more. I figured out a way for our current event to keep things super simple, and just use the modules we already have (timeline and discussions). I LOVE how easy it is to customize UNA, once you figure it out!
BUT... I have a much worse problem, and I wonder if it is related? I believe it happened either right before or right after I tried to install classes and the installation failed. Basically, members of a group or attendees of an event are no longer associated with the event. I first noticed that the "going" page on an event said "empty":
The "going" list in the block that's on the main event page still worked fine (and we're going to have at least 150 people attending the event, so the small view is preferable) so I just removed the "going" page. BUT then I noticed other issues. No members in groups. And it's impossible to post to context to a group or event without a post to context block. The group or event can't be chosen from the "visibility" menu, even if you are a part of it.
AND - remember the issue with Ads (#4670) where they do not post to context even from a context block? That means my workaround for that issue (telling people to use visibility field) no longer works, because the event will not show up in the Ad's visibility field, even if someone is attending!
Any idea what would cause this, and could it be related? Should I create another topic about it?
Yup, there's definitely something still wrong. I put the "classes" app to inactive, I then deleted it, and then I even deleted it from the "downloaded apps" menu. But I'm still getting a database error email every once in a while.
