We are working on a WordPress website that uses Event Calendar Pro as the foundation for our calendar & calendar-related material. If you could clear up a few questions for us, that would be wonderful:
1. Something is blocking the initiation of the month change from the current month to the next/previous month on the calendar page when the event search bar is unchecked (when the classic header is disabled / the search bar is enabled). What is the name of that call function so that we can make sure it is accessed after our other page functions have loaded?

2a. We have created a collapsible, responsive design change that works for the calendar in tablet- and mobile- sized views. Do you plan on changing the naming functions in future Event Calendar Pro updates, or do you plan on keeping them the same? We would like to ensure that we won’t need to redo the responsive view for every future update, so if you think you will change naming functions we need to figure out a different solution.
2b. The code for this design tweak was written by Stephen Zerne (http://artnerd.com/) and he is giving Modern Tribe permission to use it, provided you give credit. I’ll email it over shortly to [email protected]. subject line ‘Responsive Event Cal Pro CSS’ with a note about this post because he’s not immediately available for me to ask if he wants me to put it up on the forums (better safe than sorry).

3. While working through the plugin update, we ended up compiling an error report for you guys and thought we would send it along in case it’s anything you aren’t already working on (because we would want people to do the same for us!).
issue 1 :: calendar on load and after search : (Disable the Event Search Bar – is unchecked)
[works and displays: August 19th 2013 with viewable events] http://mysite.com/calendar/today/
[works and displays: August 19th 2013 with viewable events] http://mysite.com/calendar/today/?tribe-bar-date=2013-08-19
[broken and displays: August 19th 2013 without events] http://mysite.com/calendar/today/?tribe-bar-date=2013-08-19&tribe-bar-search=Search
[broken and displays: August calendar grid without events] http://mysite.com/calendar/2013-08/?tribe-bar-date=2013-08&tribe-bar-search=Search
[broken and displays: August 19th 2013 without events] http://mysite.com/calendar/today/?tribe-bar-date=2013-08-19&tribe-bar-search=Search&tribe-bar-geoloc=Location
[broken and displays: January 1st 1970 without events] http://mysite.com/calendar/today/?tribe-bar-date=Date&tribe-bar-search=Search&tribe-bar-geoloc=LocationUI suggestion: a) when search is an empty value then the return value should become inclusive. b) when one day date is empty, show today or equivalent for each calendar view. c) remove default value in search by isolating alternate text that will be excluded from the search
issue 2 :: ajax calendar and javascript functions within navigation tools : (Disable the Event Search Bar – is unchecked)
[describes above in (first point) ] Note: either I’m mistaken and the event navigation (found below the calendar) doesn’t initiate the next and previous buttons fully until the “find events” button is clicked or I’m mistaken and it only works once it’s loaded. through use of the search function at the top of the page. Either way our clients will get a bad user experience if I try to give them full access to these tools.
Suggestion/possible solutions: provide plugin users an alternate page initiation function in the content or provide an administrative option to initiate calendar tools that provides alternate initiation points.
Many thanks! – Stephanie
Hi Stephanie,
Thanks for contacting us – we’d be happy to do what we can to help but please break these issues down into separate threads. Let’s concentrate on the first issue here (I’ll update again shortly once I’ve taken a look) but please make new threads for everything else.
Thanks!
So for this:
Something is blocking the initiation of the month change from the current month to the next/previous month on the calendar page when the event search bar is unchecked (when the classic header is disabled / the search bar is enabled). What is the name of that call function so that we can make sure it is accessed after our other page functions have loaded?
You’d need to set this up so that we can see it if we’re to troubleshoot. Before you do, though, please be aware that your site seems to be using jQuery 1.7.1.
jQuery is a library of helpful functions used by WordPress itself and many themes and plugins. However, 1.7.1 is a comparatively old version: The Events Calendar expects the copy of jQuery in use to be the same as ships with any of the supported versions of WordPress.
Often a theme / other plugins can swap out the shipped version of jQuery for an older or newer copy and this can cause problems – and is potentially behind what you are experiencing here.
Can you confirm that you tried our recommended troubleshooting steps of switching to a default, unmodified theme (try this by itself in the first instance, as this problem is typically caused by the theme) and at the same time deactivating all non-Modern Tribe plugins?
Thanks!
