I am in the same boat...

I cannot edit from the admin section cause the catagories don't show up in the field.

"Must slecect a catagory"

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!

i have the same problem. I solved it with phpmyadmin but it has to be a bug fix somewhere! But where???

I have the same issue now with a clean Events 1.2 install.

Linux/Apache/MOS 4.5.1b/Events 1.2

The issue is that when a new event is added it appears as instantly "checked-out" and unpublished. The fix posted above solves the publishing issue but not the "checked-out" issue. The mos_categories table states that the events categories in question are not checked out, but the Event Categories Manager says they are.

I tried to find a bug fix for this in mamboforge without success, any suggestions ?
