Front-end datepicker calendar stuck on a single day

    Hello,

    When picking a date for rent in the calendar, the date is stuck on a single day and you’re not able to pick another one. Both in the “Start” and in the “End” of rent picker.

    In back-end the tool to manually pick a date for a rent works fine. The problems seems to be only in the frontend module.

    Thank you for your help

    Hello,

    Thanks for reporting this issue. We’ve seen it happening other times, and it’s caused by a third party plugin that still relies on the jQuery UI datepicker calendars.

    Basically, a third party plugin is re-declaring the disabled dates, and this turns out into an invalid setup for the datepicker calendars.

    This is something that could be debugged by looking at the HTML source code of your web page, but our suggestion is to disable third party plugins that you don’t need, because they should not be loading JS assets on pages where those plugins are not being used. Our plugin Vik Rent Items never loads CSS or JS assets on pages where there are no contents generated by our plugin, and this is what any other developer should do to avoid conflicts with other plugins in the first place, as well as to avoid loading unnecessary JS assets that just make the page heavier.

    We invite you to reach out to our technical support team should you have any problems, so that we can check the HTML source code of that specific web page on your website to understand what third party plugin is interfering with the jQuery UI datepicker calendars.

    We hope this helps!

    You were totally right, it was a weird plugin that was installed years ago on the website that caused the JS error.
    For those with the same problem, I had to manually disable and re-enable every single plugin until found the error.

    Thank you for the support! Solved!

    EDIT: the “stucking” plugin had nothing to do at all with the calendar function, at least apparently. That made my day so much harder. Still no clue on how it got involved with vikrentitems, but it did.
