Author Topic: Calendar popup doesn't show up and can't enter date manually (Read 3724 times)

Hi all,

I made a upgrade on my two test servers form 3.1.2 to 3.1.3.

After the upgrade, I have two issues (on the two servers)

- In Edit/contact the link aren't working anymore (I have to expand them all)
- The calendar popup doesn't show up, for adding a event date, adding a birthday date for a contact. Tested with Firefox 3.0.15 and 3.6.x

I'm running DRUPAL 6.15 ith php 5.2 on both server.

PS : on 3.1.2 it was working.

Regards

Sounds like jQuery scripts are not working on your upgraded site. Did you move it to a new location on your server? If so, check these procedures:
http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Moving+an+Existing+Installation+to+a+New+Server+or+Location

... also you can use Firebug -> console to check for specific Javascript errors (which I suspect you'll see).

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your reply.

No I didn't move one installation to another server, I installed them both locally.

Here are the errors reported by firebug in civicrm event when I click on the calendar :

$("#leaderboard label").overlabel is not a function
anonymous()script.js?B (line 2)
anonymous()jquery.js?B (line 19)
anonymous()jquery.js?B (line 12)
anonymous()jquery.js?B (line 19)
anonymous()jquery.js?B (line 19)
[Break on this error] $("#leaderboard label").overlabel();\nscript.js?B (line 2)

But I found the problem !

I was using jquery script to make my login bar horizontal and printing the username and password in the field !
(from here: http://www.topnotchthemes.com/blog/081204/horizontal-user-login-block-using-css-and-jquery)
Now it's disabled

A strange thing is that wasn't an issue with 3.1.2 ...

Maybe because in 3.1.3 we're using drupal_add_js to compress our javascript files, and hence things are probably loading in a different order.

I am running into a similar problem. Cannot create events anymore, as I cannot enter a date!

To the folks who can't make the calendar function work: Are you running Adaptivetheme and/or a customization of it? There are a LOT of javascript options built into Adaptivetheme (I use it as our go-to baseline theme here) and I found I had to turn them all off to get the CiviCRM javascript to load up.

Specifically look for "equal column heights" and "horizontal login" as troublemakers. I turned those both off and the rest of CiviCRM is now working just fine.

Another possible cause is having custom templates copied from a previous version that are now outdated. For example, my CRM/Contact/Form/Edit/Demographics.tpl was from 3.1.2 and I was running 3.1.4. I copied the whole Edit folder while I was running 3.1.2 because I customized other templates within it. Therefore the Demographics.tpl was running the older version even though I hadn't customized it at all. It caused the wrong javascript to be applied to the page, and the calendar didn't show up at all, and the field was un-editable.

I'm having similar problems. I can change/edit times in the Events configuration screen, but can't make any of the buttons, including the calendars, work. Maybe it's because I changed to Danland theme - is that an AdaptiveTheme or derivative?
I really like the look of DanLand, its better-than-most documentation, and its built-in slideshow and I'd hate to give it up.
I'm going to try changing the theme, at least for administrative purposes, and see if that helps.

Well, I changed the main theme to Good Ole Garland and everything worked fine.
Does anyone (pbeakley, hint-hint) have any suggestions on how to tweak Danland? Like how do I (geek with a small g) find "equal column heights and horizontal login and turn them off"?

I suppose I could switch to Garland every time I take the site down for maintenance, but I would rather have all the functions available (with a snazzy theme) for the community of users.

Thanks for the pointers -- one less reason to keep hitting my head against the wall.
