I cannot seem to get rid of this error message: "The Date Popup module now requires the jQuery UI module as a source for the datepicker. Please install it immediately."

I've installed the Jquery UI module, the latest date module, and still cannot get rid of this error. Under modules "Jquery UI" and "Jquery update" are grayed and cannot be clicked or unclicked. What am I missing?

edit: I've also installed the jquery library per the readme.

Please write your installation steps rather than "I have followed the readme", so we can help you better. Remember to tell your version for each jQuery UI, libs, date module, etc. Your PHP version.

After a day I could solve it as follows, ahh and please, excuse my english:

1. The following download files:
Jquery_ui module for drupal
http://drupal.org/project/jquery_ui

Jquery.ui Library
http://code.google.com/p/jquery-ui/downloads/list?q=1.6

2. Extrac the jquery_ui module for drupal in the directory, leaving something like this:
/sites/all/modules/jquery_ui

3. Extrac in the directory to library jquery_ui jquery.ui.1.6
/sites/all/modules/jquery_ui/jquery.ui.1.6

4. Rename the sub-directory jquery.ui.1.6 to jquery.ui, being as follows:
/sites/all/modules/jquery_ui/jquery.ui

so the actual jQuery UI JavaScript files are located in:
/sites/all/modules/jquery_ui/jquery.ui/ui/*.js

5. Enable the module at Administer >> Site building >> Modules.

Hello,

I also have problems with this. I have followed the instructions in the readme over and over again, downloaded both the module and the library several times and renamed and replaced again. Even after refreshing the browser, deleting the entire module folder and re-installing it, nothing works. Help!

This is the information I can give:
- browser Firefox 3.6.12
- drupal 6.19
- installed jQuery module in sites/all/modules/jquery_ui/
- downloaded UI library from http://code.google.com/p/jquery-ui/downloads/list?q=1.6
- installed that into sites/all/modules/jquery_ui/jquery.ui/
- in the next subfolder ui are all the .js files

but when I refresh my browser and activate the module it keeps giving the same message... WHAT AM I DOING WRONG???? I really don't know anymore...

Thanks

Bianca

Oh yes it is fixed!!!

Here's what I did:
- first took a night sleep...does wonders sometimes!
- then I disabled the modules that were asking for the jQueryUI
- enabled the jQueryUI
- and after that enabled the other modules again

And now it's working fine!

Best regards
Bianca
