Autopublish doesn't work on JEM 2.3.3.

Recently JEM 2.2.0 has been upgraded to 2.3.3 for php8 in my site. I found that autopublish doesn't work in the case of registering event from front end side. On the other hand, it works as the status shows green in case of registering event from back end site.
It works in JEM 2.2 of course.
Please fix it if it is caused by BUG. If not, please advice me how to solve.

Thanks and Regards,

Hello taksejimo,

Please note that JEM 2.2.3 is NOT designed to work with PHP8.
Only the next version, JEM 4.x will be PHP8-compatible

When JEM 4 will be released or available? Thanks.

The autopublish problem happened under php7.4 in Joomla 3.10.11. The reason upgrading to JEM 2.3.3 is expected to be applicable to php8. Since the problem happened under php7.4, it is considered to be bug. Please examine the code and develop the solution.
I opened this topic again though I did unsubscribe a few day ago.

Thanks in advance, T. Sejimo

I attached two JPEG files to show php version and the event status.
One is system information to show php 7.4. Another is event list to show the event status is unpublish.
Please confirm and develop fix.
Thanks.

Hello taksejimo,
you are right. This is a bug regardless of the PHP version.
According to my current research, Joomla/JEM does not seem to set the values for the "published" value correctly if the associated form field is not rendered in the frontend.
That means you need to set the Settings -> User Control -> Show Publish-Tab option to "enabled". Then everything should work as expected.

I haven't found a fix for the problem in a hurry. A solution for you could be to hide the publish tab on your website via CSS.
#det-pane .editevent-publishtab {
display: none;
}
I have not tested this, but it should work.
