When the module is enabled, the report displays:

The slickgrid library isn't available so this module will not work. Please download slickgrid 2.0b from https://github.com/mleibman/SlickGrid/

1. There is no slickgrid 2.0b in Github; last stable version is 1.4.3, and only info is about branching v. 2.0 alfa.
2. There is no instructions where the library should be pasted.

---
EDIT (MAY 2014): please review the comments #22 - #26 below. This seems to manually fix it. Based on the library version 2.0: https://github.com/mleibman/SlickGrid/tree/v2.0

UPDATE: March 5th, 2014 from the js library maintainer at github: "I have too many things going on in my life right now to really give SlickGrid support and development the time and attention it deserves. I am not stopping it, but I will most likely be unresponsive for some time. Sorry."

Well... after some code checking into the module we need to download a librairy with folders nammed "controls" and "plugins".
Here the right branch : https://github.com/mleibman/SlickGrid/tree/v2.0a

My dashboard is now 'green' :-)

Hi -

Thanks for reporting this - I'll update the docs. Unfortunately this will continue to be a problem until there's a stable 2.0 release I can point people to, but using trunk or any 2.0x branch is the best bet in the meantime.

Cheers,

Ben

Version: 7.x-1.1 » 7.x-1.4

It took me a couple of hours of trying a (wide) variety of approaches to realize that I should just read slickgrid.module and make sure the following are in all/sites/library/slickgrid. Most of them had to be downloaded individually from https://github.com/mleibman/SlickGrid/

$path . '/lib/firebugx.js' => array(),
$path . '/lib/jquery.event.drag-2.0.min.js' => array(),
$path . '/slick.core.js' => array(),
$path . '/slick.dataview.js' => array(),
$path . '/slick.grid.js' => array(),
$path . '/plugins/slick.checkboxselectcolumn.js' => array(),
$path . '/plugins/slick.rowselectionmodel.js' => array(),
$path . '/controls/slick.columnpicker.js' => array()

This is written to save time for those like me who have little experience with Drupal. As this is a documentation issue, I don't believe it was actually fixed before it was closed.

You really don't need to download every file individually from the slickgrid github - just click the download button. Then unzip the downloaded directory, rename it 'slickgrid' and copy it into your sites/all/libraries directory.

This is documented in the README file.

@BenScott A number of libraries are missing when I download both version 1.4.3 or 1.3.2 of the slickGrid library from gitHub.

Here's what was missing...
sites/all/libraries/slickgrid/slick.core.js
sites/all/libraries/slickgrid/slick.dataview.js
sites/all/libraries/slickgrid/controls/slick.columnpicker.js
sites/all/libraries/slickgrid/plugins/slick.checkboxselectcolumn.js
sites/all/libraries/slickgrid/plugins/slick.rowselectionmodel.js

All better with a Git clone though

and to make the trouble complete ... sometimes slickgrid github download is frozen (loading ... loading ... loading ...)

aaah, now it works again ...

here a list of all 1.4.3 -0- tarball including files and folders by following the link from project info:

05.11.2010  15:27            29.043 qunit.js

and I can confirm that downloading as shown "branch 2.0a" results in a 1.4.3-13 downlaod finally, but inside it looks different than the inside of the 1.4.3-0- tarball mentioned above. In the 1.4.3-13 tarball all missing files are included.

So the right link to the right tarball is:

https://github.com/mleibman/SlickGrid/tarball/v2.0a

I tried to put in the project info but sadly I can't, needs co-maintainer rights. I hope the info helps to change it.

Good Night

This library seems to work for me, although I'm not sure if editing works yet: mleibman-SlickGrid-1.4.3-62-gb45d54d

Anonymous’s picture

I've tried the various installs of this module with 7.12 and none of them will work. I keep getting a report that some slickgrid lib is missing. I've installed all the related modules.

I've downloaded the master, the 2.0v from github, the tarball from the project page. None of them seem to work, they all display this error.

The slickgrid library isn't available so this module will not work. Please download slickgrid Master from https://github.com/mleibman/SlickGrid/.

In fact if I just download the file indicated and install that the module doesn't even show up.
I've tried from this thread moving some elements from the 2.0 trunk into the project files, still no luck.

Any update on what to do,

Thanks.

P.S. people keep referring to sites/all/libraries is that D6? I'm assuming they mean sites/all/modules.

mattbk’s picture

Usually libraries are installed in sites/all/libraries, which needs to be created if you don't have any libraries for your site yet.

Anonymous’s picture

That's real confusing. I installed the Libraries API which slickgrid needed. That means there's a folder sites/all/modules/libraries
Is that the folder you mean, or sites/all/libraries

What's the difference between a module and a library? Sorry for the newb questions.

Can taxonomy terms be edited with this? I am not getting any editors available and the first example I tried were taxonomy terms and there are no available editors. I believe I installed the libraries (sites/all/libraries). Like #15, it is confusing when there is no real reference on what a proper install should look like. I have files in sites/all/libraries/slickgrid/plugins and sites/all/modules/slickgrid/plugins/editors, is this where they should be to get editors available? Also, I enabled the data export view and get this:

Notice: Undefined index: options in get_plugin() (line 870 of /home/quickstart/websites/idealtest.dev/sites/all/modules/views/plugins/views_plugin_display.inc).
Notice: Undefined index: options in get_plugin() (line 870 of /home/quickstart/websites/idealtest.dev/sites/all/modules/views/plugins/views_plugin_display.inc). =>
... (Array, 13 elements)
Krumo version 0.2.1a
Called from /home/quickstart/websites/idealtest.dev/sites/all/modules/views/plugins/views_plugin_display.inc, line 870

Is there anything wrong with this install?

The library still shows missing in my status report
I cant get it to work :(

kaizerking’s picture

1.i don't see the latest libraries info function some thing like:
function slickgrid_libraries_info() {
2.probably the libraries path is not correctly configured in .install file,

I had this same issue (7.x version), and resolved it as follows:
1. As directed in readme, downloaded the library from https://github.com/mleibman/SlickGrid/ (most recent version)
2. unzipped, renamed top folder 'SlickGrid-2.0' to 'slickgrid' and moved folder into sites/all/libraries
3. disabled the slickgrid module in drupal, saved, then enabled the module again.
4. Checked the admin/reports/status page. Worked!

Some of you may be installing the library but not doing step #3, which is necessary because the status check is occuring in the .install file. So if the library is missing during module install, it won't work.
I hope this helps someone.

micromegas’s picture

No matter what I do, it still doesn't find the slickgrid module. I've done the following:

  1. Installed slickgrid, beautytips, and query_update modules
  2. Downloaded 'master' from GitHub, unzipped, moved to 'libraries' folder, verified file permissions are correct
  3. Disabled the module and re-enabled it

Any other ideas? All I'm getting is a blank screen and some javascript errors.

#20 was a good start for me but with the latest master version of the slickgrid library from Github (11/5/13) I only got a grey footer in the slickgrid area.

I eventually got it fully working with edit using the recipe in #20 by downloading the V2 zip branch from https://github.com/mleibman/SlickGrid/archive/v2.0.zip. Worked on Chrome 26.0.1410.64 m, Firefox 20.0.1, IE 9.0.8112. Impressive.

When I used the latest master version (11/5/13) I needed 2 more steps and it didnt work fully :

2b Chrome debugger showed a missing library jquery.event.drag-2.0.min.js (even although there is a higher version of this already in the download /lib). Adding this got me a grey header at the top of the slickgrid area.

2c There remained an error "Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'on' slick.grid.js:560"
Searching around this seemed to be a sympton that there were two versions of the JQuery loaded on the page. Checking I found jquery-1.7.min.js in the download lib file and the also
default version 1.5 from the Jquery_Update module. I wasnt sure how to remove the duplication so I changed the JQuery_Update version to 1.7 in the module settings (admin>configuration>development>jquery_update).

Then after #20 step 3 it displayed ok but only gave a nice read-only scrolling grid. When enabled field editor got a blank grid and a JS error like "Uncaught ReferenceError: InlineCell is not defined" or "Uncaught ReferenceError: ModalForm is not defined".

Thanks charlied - this was EXACTLY the problem I was running into, and using the V2 zip you provided resolved it perfectly. Much obliged!

ikeigenwijs’s picture

sub could this be updated on the module page? and mayby update, 2011 is a long time.

rcharles’s picture

To confirm, the admin/reports/status error message clears on disable/enable of module

with Version 2 branch from https://github.com/mleibman/SlickGrid/tree/v2.0

extracted/FTP'ed at sites/all/libraries/slickgrid

Missing library error: update project page, only lib v 2.0 supported
