Datepicker not correct visible

[Harold]

The UI of the Datepicker is transparent when I use is. I tried to deactivate al other plugins but still doesn’t work.

Any Idea?

Hi Harold,

What browser and version are you using? Is this on a retina display by chance? Are you running the latest version of our plugins and WordPress? If not, you might try updating.

Does that help?

Hey Jonah,

I’m using WP 3.5.1 and I just bought the Community plugin. So that’s al the latest there is.
I’m using Safari but it I also see it on Chrome. Even op the iPad I see this.
So I see the date picker (3 months) but the background is transparent.

[Jonah]

Which date picker is this, on the back end or front end? Do you have a screenshot you can post? If on the front end, can you share the link here so I can take a look?

Thanks,
Jonah

It’s on the front end. I find out that the Plugin “Better WordPress Minify” is giving the problem. If I switch this one off it works.
I can doe settings for scripts it should not Minify. Whats the script name of this?

O sorry, this is in the wrong forum. It’s about the Community Events 🙂

Hi Harold,

Glad you got it figured out. If there’s anything else you need, please let us know.

Jonah, My problem is nog solved yet :). I would like to now the script name so I can tell the Minify plugin to skip that script.

Hi Harold,

So some scripts depend on other scripts and therefore the easiest way to build a list is to use a browser such as Chrome, or else Firefox with the Firebug extension (or something comparable, Opera+Dragonfly) and compare the list of scripts on the Add Events page with those on a standard non-event related page.

You’ll find there are quite a few, perhaps only some are impacting here though.

[Harold]

Barry, Is there not just a script name liken – admin-bar – that I can use to not minify the complete Add Events Page?

[Barry]

Scripts directly relating to The Events Calendar/the add events form include:

* events-admin.js
* events.js
* chosen.jquery.min.js
* jquery-ecp-plugins.js
* jquery.pjax.js

And they depend in turn on various other scripts, which is why it would be best for you to inspect them for yourself. But you could certainly start with the above ones and see if setting exceptions for them helps or not.

[Harold]

I tried to skip them but is not working. When I set – Minify CSS files automatically? – of then it shows the datepicker the right way

[Barry]

OK, so you’ve got a working solution here?

[Harold]

@barry YES/NO :). I tried different MINIFY plugins, but they are al giving this problem…. So it’s our better speed with Minify or use your community Events plugin… grrrr

[Barry]

Hmm. It’s difficult to help here without knowing which specific Javascript file (perhaps there is more than one) is choking things.

I know some minifiers can struggle if a line of code isn’t terminated with a semi-colon so something like that could be the problem – however if that’s the case it’s really the minifier which is “at fault”.

Unfortunately I don’t know that there is much else we can do to help here 🙁
