[SOLVED] GroupJive Events

Hi there

Just trying to add field to the groupjive events table in the database, but can't see where new events are written to the database, I've looked in cbgroupjiveevents::saveEvent. But this doesn't seem to perform the actual insert, which seems to be parent::store() but I still don't see where I tell Group Jive it needs to add another field to the insert?

I am fairly new with Joomla, so I may be missing something basic about how Joomla interacts with module/plugin tables?

Save event does the insert. No queries are directly called as it's completely object oriented. You use ->set on an empty event object to add to the object then call ->store to save it, this will insert a new event if no id is present. Example below will create a new event entry.

Will try that now. Looks like it's saving, but will check it out...

If you absolutely need to you can use a direct database insert. It won't fire any of the integrations triggers, but nothing atm is utilizing them so it should be ok.

Thanks for that advice, I got multi-day events working, but I noticed how slow event saving was. So I reversed all changes, putting the original file in and original DB table, still very slow, just to add one event. Our client finds this unacceptable.

Can you shed any light on why this takes sooo long, on average 20 - 30 seconds on a 5Mbps connection?

Please note: this is not the changes we've made, we've tested this with the original install.

No idea, all my tests are less than 6 seconds. You probably have some other things installed that are loading during the saving process. You can try direct database addition, but that probably won't help if it's extra stuff loading in. Normal saving process has to do full permissions, security, and sanitization checks and it's not based off your connection in the slightest; it's based off the performance of the server the site is hosted on.
