Trouble editting and creating new events

[Anonymous]

I’m having trouble both editing current events (that came with the plugin) and creating new events.

When I try to edit the dates of current events, I hit submit and get a “success” message, but the date never changes.

When I try to create a new event, the date turns into Tue 30 Nov 1999 – Tue 30 Nov 1999 when I look in the dashboard of events. I’ve tried using “08/29/2010” format, as well as others when creating the event.

Am I doing something wrong?

You must use the javascript date selector for this, the value shown in the form is a localized version and the jquery datepicker overrides a hidden value. Not using the datepicker does not update the hidden value …

I’ll change the input field so it is “readonly”, then you can’t type in a value manually and thus make no mistake.

I don’t seem to have a datepicker on mine. 🙁

Here is a screenshot of what I”m looking at: http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r86/Birdie1483/events.jpg

This looks ok to me. When you click in the field of the startdate, a small extra window should pop up where you can select the date. If this is not the case, I would ask you to check in your browser for javascript errors, maybe some files are missing or there is any indication of what is wrong. Also: which browser do you use? If it is Internet Explorer, try firefox or so (maybe it’s a browser thing …)

When I click in the date area, nothing happens. I am getting some javascript errors for ui.datepicker.js:

Here is a screenshot of some of the errors: http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r86/Birdie1483/errors.jpg

I’m currently using Firefox on Mac and I tried Safari as well. Neither did anything when I selected within the date area.

I’m using firefox as well, on windows and linux. both work just fine. Which version?

Your screenshot is not good enough … please do copy the errors here. And it seems you have other javascript errors as well?

I’ve also made sure that Firefox was set to not block pop up windows.

Version 3.6.8 I wasn’t sure if I was able to copy the errors. I’ll try that now.

The majority of those errors were:

Warning: reference to undefined property this[a]

Source File: http://maps.gstatic.com/intl/en_us/mapfiles/api-3/1/12/main.js

Line: 26

There are a ton of them so it would take me all day to copy and past them. I turned off the map and I received a ton for tinymce.

Here are the few that seem to be in relation to the datepicker:

Warning: reference to undefined property $.datepicker._lastInput

Ok, maybe it has something to do with the version of jquery included by wordpress, the (older) version of jquery-ui-datepicker included in the plugin and your browser platform.

What you can try: download

http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8/jquery-ui.min.js

http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8/themes/base/jquery-ui.css

and put them in the plugin js/ folder

And then in dbem_events.php, change the occurences of “js/jquery-ui-datepicker/ui.datepicker.js” to “js/jquery-ui-min.js” (also for the css).

Then realy reload the page (make sure you got the new javascripts, empty your cache and do Ctrl-reload or so) and try again …

I’ll include these newer version of the ui-javascript in my next version if it works ok.

And if you really want to be up-to-date, also download jquery timeentry from http://download.famouswhy.com/jquery_time_entry/free_download.html and extract in the plugin folder js/timeentry.

Let me know the results 🙂

No dice. It doesn’t seem to be working…

[Franky]

Well, the fact that you have tons of javascript errors for google maps, tinymce and even jquery, makes me believe there’s something else wrong here.

Do all other parts of wordpress work ok? Can you create pages/posts fine using the tinymce editor?

[Anonymous]

Yep everything works good and I just upgraded to WP 3.1 or whatever it is. I’m going to try deactivating other plugins and see if something is conflicting with your plugin. I don’t think it’s a browser issue because I tried logging in under IE on my virtual machine and it didn’t work there.

[Franky]

It’s 3.0.1. If you want: make me an admin account for a day, so I can log in once and see if I have the same issues. My mail: liedekef [at] telenet.be

Also: check your webserver logs, maybe there’s an indication there …

I’ve installed it on another site that I have and it doesn’t work on there as well. That site specifically does not have any other plugins that might interfere with yours. Also, my server doesn’t allow you to edit anything through WordPress so any files have to be edited via ftp. Unfortunately, I think I’m going to have to find another plugin because nothing seems to be working.

[Franky]

Well, as you can see on my site: http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress (click on eg “All events”), it’s clearly working just fine. So I’m still guessing on maybe an install problem … My offer to help remains, but it seems you have a very weird setup.

Also other sites reported working (all using 3.0.5):

http://bellarinelivemusic.com/

http://wmlwl.com/events

so I’m pretty sure it’s a problem on your side …
