Next month link breaks template, but refresh and it's fine

[baynature]

I have a month view for our calendar in the works here. Looks great, except that if you hit either the next or previous month links, the template breaks and copy at the top ends up beneath the calendar and my ad doesn’t load. Refresh the page, though, and all is fine.

I figured this might be a JS conflict with my ad server, but I am getting no errors in console. and this is confirmed across FF 14, Chrome (current on Mac), and Safari 5/current.

Running WP 3.4.1 and a mess of plugins, hoping not to have to disable those until I find out if this is a known issue for EC — something with the AJAX fetching the next month? I did search the forums without success though I fear the answer is in there somewhere…

Hi Dan – could you confirm the approach you are using to insert the copy in it’s desired position?

You’re fast! I was just thinking I ought to explain that… We’re using a minimally customized ecp-page-template.php to selectively hide our default sidebar on this view, but then the view itself is made with this customized version of gridview.php, stored in /events in our theme folder:

Hi Dan. I think the problem here could be that you have declared two divs which share the same ID (div#tribe-events-content).

Could you try editing your customized grid view template and change the second of those divs (the one that contains your custom content)? I’ve updated your paste here http://pastebin.com/sARUSp3Z so you can see what I mean – I changed the extra div’s ID to #dans-custom-topper … of course this may mean you also need to update any related CSS rules.

That seemed to fix the problem when I tested it locally, if you could try it out and let me know that would be great …

Hi Barry,
That was a dumb mistake on my part. Working now. I also had to move the ad zone out of the ECP div area. Otherwise it still disappeared on month-change, I assume because the JS for that didn’t rerun. But simply putting that div first, then the calendar div fixed it. Thanks!

Glad you’ve got it working 🙂
