Plugin conflict select_locale Event Calendar & Advanced Custom Fields Pro

[dimitrilongo]

Hello

I have a plugin conflict with Event Calendar with ticket Plus and Advanced Custom Field Pro, i test with many plugins it appears only with EVENT & ACF
Getting the following JS error:

TypeError: Attempted to assign to readonly property.
/wp-content/plugins/advanced-custom-fields-pro/assets/inc/select2/select2_locale_fr.js?ver=3.5.2 line 9

the code from ACF :

// vars
$lang = str_replace('_', '-', $lang);
$lang_code = substr($lang, 0, 2);
$src = '';

// attempt 1
if( file_exists(acf_get_path("assets/inc/select2/select2_locale_{$lang_code}.js")) ) {

$src = acf_get_dir("assets/inc/select2/select2_locale_{$lang_code}.js");

} elseif( file_exists(acf_get_path("assets/inc/select2/select2_locale_{$lang}.js")) ) {

$src = acf_get_dir("assets/inc/select2/select2_locale_{$lang}.js");

}

// bail early if no language
if( !$src ) return;

// scripts
wp_enqueue_script('select2-l10n', $src, '', $version, true );


I open also a ticket with ACF

Maybe you have an idea what cause the conflict with select2 ACF et EVENT

Hi @dimitrilongo,

Sorry for the trouble here!

My hunch is that both plugins are calling the same select2 library from two different sources and those two calls are conflicts with one another. The Events Calendar uses select2 across most of the plugin so it’s definitely necessary, but I wonder if you could try dequeuing ACF’s version when events are present.

The calendar’s copy of the script is located here:
/the-events-calendar/vendor/select2/select2.min.js

And it’s corresponding handle is ‘select2’.

Sorry again for the conflict here, but I hope this at least helps get a resolution started so both plugins work smoothly together.

Thanks,
Geoff

Hello Modern Tribe,

i’have some info about the conflict, Elliot the main dev of ACF, kindly made some debugging, here’s the answer of what he founds, Hope it can helps
“I’ve been doing some debugging and have some useful info for you.

The Events Calendar plugin is including an older version of Select2 which does not support translations.
ACF is including a newer version which does.

In theory, ACF will not include the select2 translation file unless it is including select2.
The problem is that the Events Calendar plugin is registering Select2 with a prefix in the script name.
Instead of being ‘select2’, it is ‘tribe-events-select2’.

Now than multiple plugins are including Select2, it is important that we all call it ‘select2’ so we can avoid including multiple instances of it.

Can you please contact the Event Calendar devs with this info?”

Regards
Dimitri
