calendar popup retrieves node data even if calendar item is not a node

I see this behavior as well. Very frustrating! Have you fixed it?

This problem is only with the popup: if you hover the link, it shows that it points to the event page. If you right-click the link and "Open link in new tab" it brings you to the event page.

But when you click the link it shows a jquery popup with the wrong info :(

CiviCRM Event URLs are provided as, for instance, www.example.org/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&id=25 . The popup script, however, retrieves information as if it were www.example.org/node/25 .

Indeed, line 3 of jscalendar.js indicates that the script assumes all calendar data are nodes, and hunts for nids. CiviCRM Events are not nodes, however. I suspect if user profile fields could be induced to display in the calendar, it would misinterpret uids as nids as well.

This would not affect sites using FeedAPI to import the CiviCRM feed a la http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Using+Drupal+Calendar+... . Interestingly, I can't find any issues about it at the CiviCRM forums.

Digging a little bit more, line 48 of jcalendar.js retrieves the node information based on the id of the parent, but the CiviCRM event integration handlers output civicrm_event ids as if they were node ids, e.g. the container div

<div class="calendar monthview" id="calendar:16:start_date:0:0">

and thus the popup loads "node" 16.

Calendar as a whole is preconfigured to load nodes, something that cannot be changed in the Views UI, so I don't think jcalendar.js as written is being unreasonable. And since it can't be expected to know how to find the right fields to display for non-native content, this probably falls back on the CiviEvent side to provide an alternative module.

Subscribe. Does anyone here know if a thread has been started on the CiviCRM forum about this? I see a few posts mentioning that this problem exists, but not one devoted to the issue.

There's http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,8695.0.html , which is not much of a workaround, if you want to revive it.

Again, IMVHO I don't think jCalendar popup is doing anything "wrong," it's that the contributed integration (based largely on one user's code) does not extend to the jCalendar component, so you're more likely to find a solution (or direction in order to code your own solution) over at Civi.

Since the problem is ONLY with the jquery pop-up calendar, the simple solution is to turn off the calendar pop-ups and make the event link load a new page.

This issue is pretty old & #8 provides a work around. And from the conversation, it might not even be an issue with Calendar at all.
Feel free to re-open if you think this is still valid.

For a quick and dirty workaround, I've modified jcalendar.js (/sites/all/modules/calendar/jcalendar) so it gets the right information from CiviCRM Event :

replace line :

url: Drupal.settings.basePath + "?q=jcalendar/getnode/"+nid+"/"+ids,

by this line :

url: Drupal.settings.basePath + "?q=civicrm/event/info&html=1&snippet=1&id="+nid,
