JComments w/ Past Events in Eventlist

[itgl72]

I just noticed that one of the events in my eventlist component had all the latest comments that were listed on JCOMMENTS LATEST on my front page.

The problem was, that the latest comments being displayed were for an event that had expired  a few days ago and was now in the archive. The title of the event was no longer listed next to the bullet but the first few words of the comment and who wrote it was listed.

Obviously this looked terrible so I removed it from the website... For now?

How can we work with this problem? Is there a way for the jcomments to still show the latest comments of an event properly even i it went to the archive state in eventlist?

Try to replace in /components/com_jcomments/plugins/com_eventlist.plugin.php line:

Code: (php)

$db->setQuery( 'SELECT title FROM #__eventlist_events WHERE published = 1 AND id = ' . $id );

with

Code: (php)

$db->setQuery( 'SELECT title FROM #__eventlist_events WHERE id = ' . $id );

This seems to have done the trick. Thank you.

hello there,
I spent a lot of time figuring this one out, to come to the same conclusion (only now I saw this post  )

The plugin should not add the published criteria to the search, if it's called, then return what's asked, no questions about, that should be performed by the calling method...

This principle is applied to every other functions then getObjectTitle, it makes no sense to prevent only the title from displaying..

I believe the published criteria should be removed from the official release of this plugin.

Thanks for the help on this thread before. It did work and I'm  happy with the solution.

However I have a different but similiar problem with jcomments latest and community builder with eventslist. if you will please have a look over at the thread Jcomments TAB in Community Builder not showing EVENTLIST Comments
