+# Events System - Comprehensive Bug Analysis
+
+## CRITICAL BUGS IDENTIFIED:
+
+### 1. **MAJOR: Database Architecture Flaw**
+**File:** `server/utils/nocodb-events.ts`
+**Issue:** The system attempts to use the same table for both Events and RSVPs, causing data corruption
+**Severity:** CRITICAL - System Breaking
+**Status:** PARTIALLY FIXED - Still has configuration issues
+
+### 2. **CRITICAL: Configuration Missing**
+**File:** `nuxt.config.ts`
+**Issue:** Missing events-specific NocoDB configuration properties
+**Impact:** Events system cannot initialize properly
+**Missing Properties:**
+- `eventsBaseId`
+- `eventsTableId` 
+- `rsvpTableId`
+
+### 3. **MAJOR: RSVP Functions Wrong Table**
+**File:** `server/utils/nocodb-events.ts`
+**Issue:** All RSVP functions still point to events table instead of RSVP table
+**Impact:** RSVPs stored in wrong table, data corruption
+
+### 4. **CRITICAL: Type Safety Issues**
+**File:** `server/utils/nocodb-events.ts`
+**Issue:** Multiple `unknown` types causing runtime errors
+**Impact:** Calendar fails to load, RSVP system breaks
+
+### 5. **MAJOR: API Endpoint Issues**
+**Files:** All `server/api/events/` files
+**Issue:** Recently fixed authentication but still has logical bugs
+**Remaining Issues:**
+- No validation of event data
+- Missing error handling for database failures
+- Inconsistent response formats
+
+### 6. **CRITICAL: Frontend Component Bugs**
+**File:** `components/CreateEventDialog.vue`
+**Issues:**
+- Form validation insufficient
+- Missing error handling for API failures
+- Date/time formatting issues
+- No loading states for better UX
+
+### 7. **MAJOR: Calendar Component Issues**
+**File:** `components/EventCalendar.vue`
+**Issues:**
+- Event transformation logic flawed
+- Mobile view switching problems
+- FullCalendar integration missing key features
+- No error boundaries for calendar failures
+
+### 8. **CRITICAL: Event Details Dialog Bugs**
+**File:** `components/EventDetailsDialog.vue`
+**Issues:**
+- RSVP submission hardcoded member_id as empty string
+- Payment info hardcoded instead of from config
+- Missing proper error handling
+- No loading states
+
+### 9. **MAJOR: UseEvents Composable Issues**
+**File:** `composables/useEvents.ts`
+**Issues:**
+- Calendar events function not properly integrated
+- Cache key generation problematic
+- Error propagation inconsistent
+- Date handling utilities missing
+
+### 10. **CRITICAL: Environment Configuration Incomplete**
+**File:** `nuxt.config.ts` and `.env.example`
+**Issues:**
+- Missing events-specific environment variables
+- No fallback values for development
+- Events base/table IDs not configured
+
+## ARCHITECTURAL PROBLEMS:
+
+### 1. **Data Model Confusion**
+The system tries to store Events and RSVPs in the same table, which is fundamentally wrong:
+- Events need their own table with event-specific fields
+- RSVPs need a separate table with foreign key to events
+- Current mixing causes data corruption and query failures
+
+### 2. **Configuration Inconsistency**
+Events system references configuration properties that don't exist:
+- `config.nocodb.eventsBaseId` - doesn't exist
+- `config.nocodb.eventsTableId` - doesn't exist  
+- `config.nocodb.rsvpTableId` - doesn't exist
+
+### 3. **API Response Inconsistency**
+Different endpoints return different response formats:
+- Some return `{ success, data, message }`
+- Others return raw NocoDB responses
+- Frontend expects consistent format
+
+### 4. **Frontend State Management Issues**
+- No centralized error handling
+- Inconsistent loading states
+- Cache invalidation problems
+- Component state synchronization issues
+
+## IMMEDIATE FIXES REQUIRED:
+
+### Phase 1 - Critical Infrastructure
+1. Fix NocoDB configuration in `nuxt.config.ts`
+2. Separate Events and RSVPs into different tables/functions
+3. Fix all TypeScript errors
+4. Ensure basic API endpoints work
+
+### Phase 2 - API Stability  
+1. Standardize API response formats
+2. Add proper validation and error handling
+3. Fix authentication integration
+4. Test all CRUD operations
+
+### Phase 3 - Frontend Polish
+1. Fix component error handling
+2. Add proper loading states
+3. Fix form validation
+4. Test calendar integration
+
+### Phase 4 - Integration Testing
+1. End-to-end event creation flow
+2. RSVP submission and management
+3. Calendar display and interaction
+4. Mobile responsiveness
+
+## RECOMMENDED APPROACH:
+
+1. **Stop using current events system** - it will cause data corruption
+2. **Fix configuration first** - add missing environment variables
+3. **Separate data models** - create proper Events and RSVPs tables
+4. **Rebuild API layer** - ensure consistency and reliability
+5. **Fix frontend components** - proper error handling and state management
+6. **Full integration testing** - ensure entire flow works end-to-end
+
+## ESTIMATED EFFORT:
+- **Critical fixes:** 4-6 hours
+- **Full system stability:** 8-12 hours  
+- **Polish and testing:** 4-6 hours
+- **Total:** 16-24 hours of focused development time
+
+## RISK ASSESSMENT:
+- **Current system:** HIGH RISK - will cause data loss/corruption
+- **After Phase 1 fixes:** MEDIUM RISK - basic functionality restored
+- **After Phase 2 fixes:** LOW RISK - production ready
+- **After Phase 3-4:** MINIMAL RISK - polished and tested

+# Deployment Force Update
+
+This file was created to force a deployment update to include the Events and RSVPs table configuration fields in the admin dialog.
+
+**Updated**: 2025-08-12 12:43 PM  
+**Reason**: Add missing Events and RSVPs table configuration to production build - FIXED CORRECT COMPONENT
+
+## Changes Included:
+- ✅ Events Table ID configuration field
+- ✅ RSVPs Table ID configuration field  
+- ✅ Updated AdminConfigurationDialog component (the actual production component)
+- ✅ Fixed TypeScript errors
+- ✅ Added proper form validation for new fields
+
+## Root Cause Identified:
+Production was using AdminConfigurationDialog.vue, not NocoDBSettingsDialog.vue. The correct component has now been updated.

- Updated all NocoDB API calls from v1/db/data/v1/ to v2/tables/ endpoints
- Fixed 422 Unprocessable Entity errors on events calendar page
- Ensures consistency with members system which already uses v2 API
- Updated methods: findAll, findOne, create, update, delete, createRSVP, findEventRSVPs, findUserRSVP, updateRSVP, updateAttendeeCount, findUserEvents
- Maintains same functionality while using correct API version

Resolves continuous 422 errors when loading events calendar.

Subject: [PATCH 07/16] fix(events): Convert NocoDB query syntax from SQL-like
 to v2 API format

- Updated all where clauses to use NocoDB v2 syntax: (field,operator,value)
- Changed SQL-like syntax (field >= 'value' AND field = 'value') to v2 format
- Fixed date range queries: (start_datetime,gte,date) and (start_datetime,lte,date)
- Fixed equality queries: (status,eq,active) instead of (status = 'active')
- Fixed AND/OR logic: ~and() and ~or() syntax for complex conditions
- Updated findEventRSVPs, findUserRSVP, and findUserEvents methods
- Fixed RSVP queries to use proper v2 format for member and event matching

This should resolve the 422 Unprocessable Entity errors that were caused by
using deprecated SQL-like syntax with the v2 API endpoints.

Subject: [PATCH 09/16] fix(events): Update NocoDB query syntax to match
 official API documentation

- Use btw (between) operator for date ranges instead of gte/lte
- Use proper ~or and ~and logical operators for complex conditions
- Use like operator with %wildcards% for search functionality
- Role-based filtering with correct OR conditions for board visibility
- All query syntax now matches official NocoDB v2 API documentation

This should resolve the 422 Unprocessable Entity errors by using the
correct query parameter format that NocoDB expects.

Subject: [PATCH 14/16] fix(events): Complete field name and query syntax fix
 based on debug findings

 Root cause identified and fixed:
- Events table uses 'Id' (capital I) not 'id' (lowercase)
- Fixed all field references to use correct NocoDB field names
- Added proper filtering with gte/lte operators (btw didn't work)
- Fixed RSVP lookup to prevent undefined event ID errors
- Updated calendar transformation to use correct field names

 Debug findings showed:
- Basic table access works (mp3wigub1fzdo1b confirmed correct)
- Sample record revealed actual field structure
- Issue was field name mismatch causing undefined IDs in queries

 This should resolve all 422 errors and make events calendar functional

Subject: [PATCH 15/16] debug(events): Strip down to minimal query to isolate
 422 errors

- Removed ALL filtering (dates, status, search, role-based)
- Removed ALL sorting
- Added comprehensive debug logging
- This will test if even basic field filtering causes 422 errors
- Goal: Isolate exactly what NocoDB query syntax works vs fails

Subject: [PATCH 16/16] feat(board): Add real data integration for board
 dashboard

- Create /api/board/stats endpoint for member statistics and overview data
- Create /api/board/next-meeting endpoint for upcoming meeting information
- Update board.vue to fetch real data instead of using mock data
- Add loading states and error handling with graceful fallbacks
- Board Overview now shows actual member counts and pending actions
- Next Meeting section displays real event data when available

The board dashboard now displays live data from the database while maintaining
fallback functionality if any data sources are unavailable.
