Issues when migrating Event Book from J1.5 to J2.5

I am migrating my site from J1.5.26 to J2.5.6. I want to also migrate Event Booking 1.4.5. I have followed instructions mentioned elsewhere in the forums:

The steps are simple :

1. Export all Event Booking related database tables (database tables with _eb_ prefix) from your Joomla 1.5 site and import them into Joomla 2.5 site database .

2. Install latest version of Event Booking (1.4.4) to your Joomla 2.5 site .

3. Copy /media/com_eventbooking folder from Joomla 1.5 site to Joomla 2.5 site .

While testing these steps on a fresh installation of Joomla 2.5.6 on my local machine - . The past events and registrants data is available. However, I am facing two issues.

1. On creating/editing an event, the "Cancel", "Save" and "Save and close" button no longer work.
2. The dates of all imported events is being shown like %01-%15-%2012 instead of 01-15-2012

Can you please help??? I must be doing something wrong. I need to complete migration asap.

Thanks in advance.

Update:

I am seeing this exception in the apache error logs:
Help on this matter will be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi

1. For issue #1, please setup the upgraded site to a live server so that I can check it for you. Normally, there is no problem with version 1.4.5 on Joomla 2.5.6, maybe something special on your site causing the issue .

2. For issue #2, you need to go to Events Booking -> Configuration, find the config option Date Format and Event Date Format and changed it to meet the Joomla 2.5 date format. By default :

- Date Format: m-d-Y
- Event Date Format : m-d-Y g:i a

Please change the settings and It should work as expected .

Hi Tuan - I will try it on the live server today and will report if the issue is reproduced there.

Also since I am unable to make any saves in the Event Booking module currently on my local machine, I am not able to resolve the issue 2.

Maybe you should do a quick check : What HTML editor you are using ? Could you switch to use TinyMCE editor (a default editor) ? If the problem still happens, I will check it once you uploaded the site to a Live server !

Hey that solves it! I was using CodeMirror. On switching to TinyMCE I am able to function as normal. Thanks for the tip

However - you may want to look into this behavior with CodeMirror.

Thanks a Lot.

Great, thanks for confirming !

Hi there is another issue which I have noticed. When I view the Calender - the "Month" and "Year" text is not visible. Please look at the attached snapshot for a better understanding.

I believe it is something related to css of your site template, so please try to solve the issue yourself. If you cannot solve it, I will check it for you when you setup your site to server .

Hi Tuan.

I have migrated to the live site. I am unable to figure out the mofifications needed in template css to resolve the Month/year text.

Additinally I am experiencing that when a user tries a registration - he is taken to the home page. Is this the normal behaviour? I don't remember this happening on my Joomla 1.5 site.

I have created a Test Event on my live site here on which this can be reproduced.

Click on Individual Registration, Fill details and click on Registration Confirmation -> You are redirected to Home Page which is not good in my case as a lot of uneccessary graphics can confuse the clients. Similar is the case with Group Registrations.

Tuan can you please have alook and help! Do you need an admin login to the site backend?

Thanks
