On my status report I'm seeing:

Date library Not found
Missing Date jQuery plugin. Please download the Date jQuery plugin and extract it to your datepicker module directory. See README.txt for more info.

Date picker CSS Not found
Missing CSS file. Please download the datepicker CSS file it to your datepicker module directory. See README.txt for more info.

datePicker plugin Not found
Missing jQuery datePicker plug-in. Please download the jQuery datePicker plugin it to your datepicker module directory and rename it to jquery.datePicker.js. See README.txt for more info.

I have installed jQuery UI and it's working fine (I guess). I don't know what these mean since I don't have a "datepicker module directory". Where is it or where should it be and/or how do I make these errors go away? Thanks!

The datepicker functionality is in the Event module. I suppose this could be clearer in the error messages but it's sort of mentioned on the Modules page.

I'm not clear really...

do you install datePicker.css and jquery.datePicker.js

I ask because I'm getting these messages;

Missing CSS file. Please download the datepicker CSS file it to your datepicker module directory. See README.txt for more info. (Currently using Date picker CSS Not found)
Missing Date jQuery plugin. Please download the Date jQuery plugin and extract it to your datepicker module directory. See README.txt for more info. (Currently using Date library Not found)
Missing jQuery datePicker plug-in. Please download the jQuery datePicker plugin it to your datepicker module directory and rename it to jquery.datePicker.js. See README.txt for more info. (Currently using datePicker plugin Not found)
The jQuery UI plugin is missing. Download and extract it to your jquery_ui module directory. See README.txt for more info. (Currently using jQuery UI Not found)

I have tried placing this all over the place.

Frankly the installation information is bad.

I spent a long time trying to figure out like the other guy, what the actual module was.

I resolved it all by installing the 3 files into the event directory as; \event\config\datepicker\ and that resolved all errors.

Maybe update read me to explain this better as jQuery has a lot of options...

Hi all !

Just note that the 3 files have to be place in event/contrib/datepicker and not in event/config/datepicker as jlt206 said ;-)

Woks fine for me ! Thanks all (and yes the readme.txt need to be update).

I've copy/pasted the datepicker.css file off the website into Wordpad and saved it as datepicker.css, then loaded it into sites/all/modules/event/contrib/datepicker and when I try to enable the Datepicker submodule I'm still getting the error:
Missing CSS file. Please download the datepicker CSS file it to your datepicker module directory. See README.txt for more info. (Currently using Date picker CSS Not found)

I've checked the directory and the file is there. Any idea why it can't be found? I did exactly the same with the jquery.datePicker.js file and don't have the error message for that one anymore. These goofy problems are incredibly frustrating. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi idekay,

It's not the same datepicker.css than datePicker.css.

Have fun!

StéphaneL comments to place those 3 files in the event/contrib/datepicker folder (as stated in the event datepicker README - event/contrib/datepicker/README.txt) works file. Please find the contents of this README below:

This module adds a jQuery Date picker to event module's date select
box.

To use it you need to download:

1) The CSS from
http://www.kelvinluck.com/assets/jquery/datePicker/v2/demo/styles/datePi...

2) The Date jQuery library from
http://github.com/vitch/jquery-methods/raw/master/date.js

3) The datePicker jQuery library from
http://code.google.com/p/jquery-datepicker/
You should probably use the minified version. Rename it to jquery.datePicker.js.

All three files need to be put into the module's directory.

The code is based on
http://www.kelvinluck.com/assets/jquery/datePicker/v2/demo/datePickerInt...

I added the required modules like this:

 cd /etc/drupal/6/sites/all/modules/event/contrib/datepicker

 sudo wget http://www.kelvinluck.com/assets/jquery/datePicker/v2/demo/styles/datePicker.css

 sudo wget http://www.kelvinluck.com/assets/jquery/datePicker/v2/demo/scripts/jquery.datePicker.js

 sudo wget http://www.kelvinluck.com/assets/jquery/datePicker/v2/demo/scripts/date.js

The error message provides a dead url for date.js. Can someone confirm http://code.google.com/p/datejs/downloads/list is the right file?

You can grab it from:

http://www.datejs.com/

or

http://code.google.com/p/datejs/downloads/list

It's not there anymore. I've been searching for this for an hour. Any other clues? Would anyone be kind enough to send me their copy?

The date.js file:

Thanks, Perspectoff, very helpful... and on my web server logged on as root of course I didn't need sudo... your method was quick and efficient. Now I can move onto other issues that arose from updating modules.

I'm using the event module. I've successfully install date picker, but I'm still not sure how to implement it.

This module SEEMS to be the most dysfunctional I have found, leaving me going around in circles. Here it the error message, which seems barely understandable.

* Missing CSS file. Please download the datepicker CSS file it to your datepicker module directory. See README.txt for more info. (Currently using Date picker CSS Not found) [INCOMPREHENSIBLE]

* Missing Date jQuery plugin. Please download the Date jQuery plugin [ DEAD LINK ] and extract it to your datepicker module directory. See README.txt for more info. (Currently using Date library Not found)

* Missing jQuery datePicker plug-in. Please download the jQuery datePicker plugin it to your datepicker module directory and rename it to jquery.datePicker.js. See README.txt for more info. (Currently using datePicker plugin Not found) [INCOMPREHENSIBLE]

Apparently because you haven't contributed to the code base and organization of the project enough. It's easy to criticize when you're not the maintainer.
