Forum OpenACS Q&A: Calendar problem

Collapse
Posted by Christof Spitz on
Installing the calendar on a 4.6 system sometimes works, sometimes not. On one machine, this error message comes up after installation (including the the sql-scripts), restart of the aolserver and mounting the new application:

Request Error
no value given for parameter "key" to "_"
    while executing
"_ calendar.Add_Item"
    invoked from within
"set item_add_template "<a href=\"cal-item-new?julian_date=\$julian_date&start_time=&end_time=\" title=\"[_ calendar.Add_Item]\">+</a>""
    ("uplevel" body line 29)
    invoked from within
"uplevel {

....

Any idea?

It looks like you're trying to install the CVS HEAD version on top of the OpenACS 4.6. branch.  They're not compatible.  The HEAD version includes message keys so the package can be displayed in a user's native language, while the 4.6 version is English-only.

Bingo! Thanks a lot!

Now I'll go through the process of deleting a package and re-installing it, which usually gives a lot of "violation of referential integrity" and "this-and-that already exists" problems, so you have to use psql manually for cleaning up the database before installation.

Seems there is no easy way (for the poor uneducated ones).
