Lower level frontend users cant choose location

Hi,
On our web site, we are experiencing that lower level users who have permissions to submit events in the frontend are unable to choose from the list of available locations for the event.
On their screens, the dropdown list of available locations is empty - whereas for higher level users, the dropdown list is populated correctly with the available locations?
We are using version 1.6.3 - but are not in a hurry to upgrade as you have helped us make some customisations.

You can upload the file components/com_eventbooking/views/event/view.html.php on your site here. I will help modifying the code for you to make it is possible

Thanks so much Tuan,
I have attached the file

You can get the modified file here, upload it to your site and it should work well

Thanks for your help so far Tuan.
I tested it and for some reason, the same issue remains.
The site does not use cache - so it is not a cache issue.
I logged out and logged in again after uploading the file, but the issue is still the same with no 'location' being selectable when submitting an event as a lowerlevel user.

That's strange. You can submit a support ticket sending us super admin account of your site so that I can check and edit the code directly on your site for you.

Regards,

Tuan

Was this solved?

I am having the same problem. My front end users did not have any locations to choose from. Even though locations were created in the back end, the drop down for the location says "Select Location". But there are none available.

But I figured out what is happening. The user can only see the locations that they created. This won't work for us as we will have more than one user adding events and would like them to share locations.

Can we get a fix?

Thanks!

Hi

Yes. You can edit the code abit to make it work:

1. Open the file components/com_eventbooking/views/event/view.html.php

2. Find these lines of code:

3. Change it to

Then all published locations will be displayed for users to choose for their events

Thanks Tuan - I have now got it working. The edited file you provided me with still had "AND user_id=' . $user->id . '" in the sql query - but by following your steps below I got it resolved.
Excellent service - thanks Tuan!

Oh, OK. Don't know why I could make that mistake .
