No you would not lose existing events if you reinstall the plugin.
I believe you that you have this problem but I cannot debug individual sites. If you track down the problem please post the solution here and or in github and I will patch the code.
Solved:
Edited .htaccess document in elgg's main installation folder.
Added "SetEnv TZ Europe/Madrid" at the very top of the document. (In this case Madrid is my timezone as I'm in Spain).
Listo!
It is weird as my server's time is the same, so this souldn't be necessary. But techs are sometimes a mistery.
Salud.
It's been about six months...I think...since I installed the plugin, thus I don't recall where it came from, although I'm pretty sure it came from "github". Just to be sure I had the most recent version, I downloaded and installed the "full" 0.85 version. However, that broke other plugins, particularly the monthly view of the event calendar. Also, the full plugin was finding already created events.
For now, I've gone back to the previous plugin, which plays much more nicely with the other plugins I have installed. If you have some ideas on how to straighten this out, I'd be most appreciative.
Latest version of Event Calendar known to me is available for download at https://github.com/kevinjardine/Elgg-Event-Calendar/tree/full.
If this version will solve your issue I can't say though.
I have installed a few Elgg sites which work very well. This is the first time I install the event calendar plugin and I'm getting the same issue: neither date nor time appear on the form, and all events I create are set to one hour from the moment I click "Save and continue". I've tried adjusting various parameters of the calendar but nothing changes.
The only difference in my configuration wrt the one above is that I have PHP 5.3.3 on a Debian Squeeze server. The only plugins I have installed so far on this particular site are Profile Manager 7.5.1 and Event Calendar 0.85. Disabling Profile Manager doesn't change anything regarding Event Calendar.
Any help would be warmly welcome as well.
