Events app no 'add event'

Afternoon! Could've sworn I'd posted this already but it seems I must've written it and forgot to press 'send'…! Story of my life lately :D

Anyway, I've upgraded a client site to 3.0.11 and they have Gallery, Events and Blog apps. Gallery and Blog seem fine, but the events app is having what may be a similar permissions issue to this one https://forum.grabaperch.com/forum/11-20-2017-form-permission-issue in that the '+Add event' button isn't appearing for non-admin users.

The permissions I'm offered in Roles are:

  1. Access events
  2. Manage categories

And they can access and edit events ok, just not create a new one as that button's missing from the main Event page.

Let me know if you need any more info to debug this and I'll send it straight over.

Thanks for taking a look :)

HI Martin,

this has popped up a fair few times in the forum - an example of the fix is given here:
https://forum.grabaperch.com/forum/08-31-2017-user-cannot-add-events

Hey Duncan. Thanks for that – adding define('PERCH_PRIV_ASSIST', true); to my config fixed it. Thank you!

In case anyone's reading this, you need to be in perch's dev mode with define('PERCH_PRODUCTION_MODE', PERCH_DEVELOPMENT); in your config. I set this automatically using the switch statement technique here: https://docs.grabaperch.com/perch/building/servers/multiple-server-config/ – that way production is automatically production, staging staging, and dev dev.
