We have an event calendar on a subpage of the site and on the homepage have a linked event module to provide a listign of upcoming events.  It seems to give a number of errors on the homepage and doesn't always load, sometimes it does and other times not.  Looking at the event log I get this below, any ideas?

By the look of this you are using Events 3.3.8 or older. This is a known problem, see here for more details - http://support.dotnetnuke.com/issue/ViewIssue.aspx?id=7231&PROJID=11. The problem is fixed in the next release 4.0.0.

You can avoid the error by disabling category select in the module settings.

Mark,

The latest version on the DNN site is 3.3.8. You can check this by looking in Host/Module Definitions. As I said in my previous post, this is fixed in the next version 4.0.0. A beta version can be downloaded from www.dnnevents.net, as detailed in the post at the top of this forum. Because it is a beta version, it should not be used on production sites. Also the team cannot guarantee that you will be able to upgrade from this beta to a future final release.
