Datepicker Fix for Firefox 19 and Chrome

[Edited by Zarcon - Per Request]

For those that can't figure out how to get the new files out of trac(the boonex fix). I am attaching them here.

NOTE: These are for dolphin 7.1.0. There currently is no known fix for 7.0.9.

Ok. I think i got my mistakes fixed. Had a problem with the files for the 7.0.9 version. Good thing no one downloaded them before i fixed them.

Our users will be joining or editing forms with any and all of the browsers; therefore, it is important that this works with all or as many as possible.  I just tested my site with Opera latest version and the date picker on the join field worked.  Perhaps Opera has yet to make the changes that Chrome and Firefox did.

 It's a no-brainer.  The Deano fix addresses the root problem.  The other is just a bandaid

 The initial fix by Alex was a bandaid, however the latest changeset posted by Alex is a good, permanent fix, so you won't have to worry about the next upgrade patch breaking the date pickers again.

I agree it's fixed in chrome and FF...   IE 10 is still broken also there is no pop up information icons as well.  I know i know, IE sucks  but with windows 8 coming on all newer pc's you get IE10 with it.

hmm the best i can do in IE 10 is type it in manually.  Running server server 2012  so that may be the problem.  I think javascript is disabled by default.  But,  thanks for checking and confirming.

NOTE: This fix i supplied breaks the capctha which i did not notice.

I will ask a moderator to alter the topic.

Restore the original copy of BxBaseFormView.php and apply the fix provided by boonex instead. http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/ticket/2955

No.

But is your captcha working on 7.0.9? I did not check that version.

Deano, would you mind pming your fix to me, or posting it here again with a clear notice of the drawbacks. I ask because I don't use recaptcha and never will, it is a poor solution that places a barrier to users joining because the distortions are severe enough that most people can't read over 50% of the words presented, coupled with the fact that the refresh button is not prominent enough. In my own dolphin site I use a split page form and ask "four plus 3" then  "now add 2". Connecting the second  question to the first is easy for a human,  not so easy for a bot. When I get my first spam I'll think of something new.

Which version of dolphin are you using?

If your running 7.1.0 then just use the boonex version. I provided the files above. They improved their fix. It works well now. I switched to theirs myself on 7.1.0

Hello Deano

I just download the 3 files  - Rename the old one from the server & replace them by these 3 files.

DOB box is working now --- no dropdown -- so i mannually type the DOB in as yy-mm-dd

Atleast people can join now .

Quote · 24 Feb 2013

The drop down should be there. One of the things we noticed is browsers like to cache js files. So clear your browsers cache. Several times.

While on the join page, do a CTRL + F5 on the join page several times. The popup should become available.

 This statement amused me.  That's like saying, "It's working now no it's not."

Didn't know there is a new thread about this bug so i posted in the old thread about chrome. :(

I run 7.0.9 and is there a way to fix that fast? It's not possible to register to the site anymore :(

I know there is a fix for 7.10 but i cannot switch to a new version yet. What to do now? Will Boonex not offer a fix for 7.09?

This was a temporary fix offered by AlexT, prior to the complete fix that is now implemented.  I tested it on a 7.0.9 site and it worked.

On your server, open for editing, the file: /inc/js/jquery.webForms.js and locate the code below at the beginning of the file.  Comment out the one line as indicated in red below.  Save file. Clear cache folder. Hard refresh browser.

//Web Forms 2.0

$(document).ready(function() {

//    if(document.implementation && document.implementation.hasFeature &&    !document.implementation.hasFeature('WebForms', '2.0'))

        $(this).addWebForms();

   

    $(this).addNonWebForms();

I too have no drop-downs now. I'm sure I've made a silly mistake somewhere while editing but I have checked 4 times and I can't find it. Any ideas?

Edit: I downloaded the files despite a feeling that I had previously edited. Made no difference. Cleared browser cache, manually emptied cache folder and cleared cache from admin. Tried FF18 and 19 and chrome 24. It is woring in IE8 (I'm on an XP machine at the mo) Most strange.

edit again: Oops, filezilla has done this to me before, after coming out of a sleep it stops uploading files but without any errors. Closed and restarted it, made changes again. Sorted. Sorry!

Quote · 27 Feb 2013

Yes, I am ready to dump Filezilla and go back to my old FTP.  The other day Filezilla skipped over a file during an upload.

I wonder why Boonex doesn't send out patches with these fixes, like I'm forced to get newer and newer instalments of some software or game (think Windows or GTA, for example), instead of simply downloading and applying patches for MY version? Was STALKER game buggy? Nevermind, get Call of Pripyat instead! Grrr. :)
