Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Please could the pop-up calendar be enabled on event nodes on gdo?
Right now the drop-downs make entering a date and time really painful :(

Comment #1
joachim commentedbump.
what would it take to get this set up?
Comment #2
gregglesI just enabled the date_popup module, configured the field to use a widget of "Text Field with Date Pop-up calendar" and it doesn't seem to work. I've definitely used it before, so I'm not sure what's going on :/
Comment #3
joachim commentedMight it be failing because the version of jquery is wrong?
Also, IIRC an update of Date module a while back began requiring jQuery UI module. If that's missing, it'll fall back to the dropdowns.
Comment #4
soulston commentedYeah - IIRC:
"If you are updating to Date 2.6 - then Date PopUp will need jQuery UI. Once you update Date it will show this error".
You then need jQuery UI as you pointed out.
Comment #5
gregglesjQuery UI 6.x-1.5 is installed/enabled which is the latest release. http://groups.drupal.org/admin/reports/status reports that we have jQuery UI 1.6.
Comment #6
joachim commentedIs it possible to get a sandbox of g.d.o so I can try and debug this?
I'd really like to get this fixed. Every month I post the local Drupal Drinks event and without fail[*] I enter the date wrong with the dropdowns.
* Or rather *with* fail. You know what I mean ;)
Comment #7
gregglesit's the same process as getting a sandbox for any d.o site. See http://drupal.org/make-drupalorg-awesome
Comment #8
joachim commentedWhat I meant more is 'Can sandboxes be g.d.o rather than central d.o'. But filed a request anyway.
Comment #9
joachim commentedGot a sandbox at http://date-popup-groups.redesign.devdrupal.org/
And everything there works for me:
- went to admin/content/node-type/event/fields/field_start7
- changed widget type to 'Text Field with Date Pop-up calendar'
- went to edit an event and it shows the popup as expected.
Works fine both as uid 1 and my own account.
So not sure what's making this fail on the real gdo :/
Comment #10
gregglesYay, it works now on g.d.o as well.
In between comment #2 and now we have had several module updates, so I guess it got fixed along the way.
Thanks for your persisitence in getting this fixed, joachim.
