tribe-bar-date has an errant z-index

[Kevin]

For some reason, the tribe-bar-date field in the tribe bar has an inline z-index of 10000 set. As far as I can tell, none of the other fields in the tribe bar have such a z-index. In fact, it looks like they are all set to auto.

Without a CSS override, this makes the field stick out from behind my drop-down menu system.

Hi Kevin,

You’re right and in honesty I’m not sure why it’s quite such a high value, but I can certainly check in with the team and ask. In the meantime though I can see a fairly straightforward path to reduce or remove that z-index property: what would you like to do here – remove it or reduce it (and to what)?

Thanks!

[Kevin]

Given that only this one field has an inline z-index set like this, I think the correct solution is to remove it. (line 4107 of the-events-calendar.class.php) That way the entire bar behaves with the same z-index settings, which I’m sure is what’s intended.

In my case, I need a z-index on that bar <100 because I'm using UberMenu. Ubermenu uses 100-500 to make sure it is on top of stuff, but obviously there could be plenty of others out there with different needs on their sites.

Sure – we’ll revise this for a future release. In the interim you could remove that z-index property with a snippet like this one (which you could drop into your theme’s functions.php file, for example).

Hi, Kevin. This is just a note to let you know that this is another one where we didn’t get a chance to look at your issue for our maintenance release this time around.

We do plan to find a way to help you out with this. We look forward to addressing this as soon as we’ve got bandwidth/resources to allow it.

Thanks for being part of the TEC community!
