no calendar popup in frontend when add new event

In creating new event, when click on the calendar icon, no calendar pop-up to allow choosing a date.

That's strange. Maybe there is some javascript conflict on your site (the Calendar popup is Joomla core function). Could you please submit a support ticket sending me administrator and FTP account of your site so that I can check and fix it for you ?

I have the same problem - the Calendar pop-up works in the admin backend but not in the front end. I have password-protected the administrator folder (/public_html/mysite/administrator), so when an authorized user clicks the Add Event link in the Member Options menu, the admin credentials screen pops up - that's expected. Once the user identity is confirmed, the Add Event form appears.

The authorized user can enter text in all text fields and select options from the drop-down menus. However, the calendar does not function.

Any ideas? I'm not comfortable allowing others admin/super admin access to a customer's Web site and, if you do fix it by modifying the code, that custom code fix may go away with the next update.

Thanks!

Dear Don

It works well here, so maybe there are javascript conflict on your site causing the issue. Could you please submit a support ticket, then create an account for me which has submit events permission so that I can try to submit new events myself and find out the problem ?

PS : The Calendar popup is Joomla core code, so it should work well !

Tuan, I have the Calendar pop-ups working now. Apparently, there was a conflict between permissions I assigned in EB Configuration and access levels assigned to site members. I'll explain:

• Access to edit events in EB is set to the individual by specific user ID
• Access to menu items is assigned to either access level (Public, Registered, Special) or to site-specifically configured User Groups established within an access level
• I identified specific users by user ID to edit events from the front end and to manage registrations from the front end in EB Configuration
• In the Member Options menu I set up, I assigned those with the Special access level permission to use the links to Submit Event and edit events (My Submitted Events)
• For whatever reason, Joomla and EB negotiated the access rights to allow an authorized front-end user to create an event BUT not to use the Calendar pop-up
• Since the formatting requirement for dates in EB is specific and most users will enter dates differently, I had to change something
• Resolution: I assigned the Registered access level to the menu links (Add Event, Edit Event) - the calendar pop-up works fine now

Thanks for your outstanding support!

OK. Thanks Don for sharing the information and solution !

Hi!

Maybe someone is still struggling with this. I was able to solve this problem just by increasing z-index of the calendar class.

/*Added to correct minicalendar-bug*/
.calendar {z-index:999;}

I'm using PurityII template.

Greets,
shuotila

which file I need to modify the z-index?
Thanks,
CT

@shuotila: Thanks for sharing the solution. Could you please specify the css file which you need to edit so that other clients can use your solution if they get the issue ?
