In admin, just click on System>global checkin.

It automatically checks in all items that are curently being worked on so they are accessible to the site. Sometimes items are locked from editing and need to be checked back in. Try that and then go to Events>manage event categories again and try to publish.

Doesn't look like checkin will be any help. What version of events are you using? The current version is 1.0 RC5e.

I've solved your problem.

First, you'll need PHPMyAdmin or a similar tool which allows you to edit your database. (download it from http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/downloads.php). It is very easy to set up. Just extract the downloaded file into your web directory (eg. http://www.mysite.com/phpmyadmin/), then point your web browser to that directory.

Next, click on the dropdown list on the left of the screen, which says "(Database)...". Select your database (eg. mambo). Next, select "mos_categories" which will now appear on the left of the screen.

Along the top of the screen, there should be several options, including "Structure", "Browse", "SQL", "Search", etc etc. Click "Browse".

Search through the list of categories until you find the category you created in "Manage Event Categories". This will be under 'Title'. It should have "com_events" in the 'Section' column. eg. The category I created is called "Birthdays". Under title will be "Birthdays", under section will be "com_events".

Once you've found the category, click on the small icon of a pencil and paper (in second column). Now, look down through the table until you see a row with "published". The value will read 0. Change this to 1.

Presto! There you have it.

This may seem very confusing, but once you've gone through it once, it's as easy a pie!

Cheers.

****NEWS FLASH****

I found that once I'd followed the steps above, everything functions normally again. Now you should be able to create categories under "Manage Event Categories" and publish, edit, and delete them easily. They should now have a tick box next to them.

So once you've labored through all the steps in the post above, you don't have to worry about it anymore. Just go into "Manage Event Categories" and everything should function as it should (let's hope so, anyway).

Hmmm... seems as though I jumped the gun a little.

As soon as I deleted my category, everything went haywire again. So I had to got back into PHPMyAdmin and fix it again.

It worked fine once I'd done that.

I suffer from the same problem. Noticed the problem when upgrading to 1.0.7, and the latest Events component (RC5). I'll try the fixup you describe. However it seems like we have a bad combination using the 1.0.7 and the RC5 events component. Unfortunatly I don't have an older version of Mambo core left (overwritten) but I tried to install an older version of the Events component (RC4), but I suffered from the same problem.
To me it looks like it might be a problem in 1.0.7?!
