No way to group calendars

Hi John,

I’m back in town.

Clean install of WordPress, default theme (Twenty-TwentyThree). Inactive plugins: “Classic Widgets” & “WPMU DEV Dashboard”. Only active plugins are “Classic Editor” and “Simple Calendar”. Latest versions for everything. Browser is Chrome.

No content on the site. Only posts are for two feeder calendars and an (attempted) grouped calendar. No additional css anywhere.

Each feeder google calendar pulls events properly.

The grouped calendar setting “Get Calendars From” has no drop-down choices for “Manual selection”.

On using Chrome’s “inspect” ability on the Simple Calendar admin page for the grouped calendar, am again seeing 6 warnings for Simple Calendar, to wit:

1. A form field element should have an id or name attribute
   1. A form field element has neither an?id?nor a?name?attribute. This might prevent the browser from correctly autofilling the form.To fix this issue, add a unique?id?or?name?attribute to a form field. This is not strictly needed, but still recommended even if you have an autocomplete attribute on the same element.

and 4 errors

1. Incorrect use of <label for=”FORM_ELEMENT”></label>
   1. The label’s?for?attribute doesn’t match any element?id. This might prevent the browser from correctly autofilling the form and accessibility tools from working correctly.To fix this issue, make sure the label’s?for?attribute references the correct?id?of a form field.
   2. AFFECTED RESOURCES
      1. 4 resources
         1. Violating node <label for=”_default_calendar_event_bubbles_action”>Event Bubbles</label>== $0
         2. Violating node <label for=”_default_calendar_list_grouped_span”>Span</label>== $0
         3. Violating node <label for=”_default_calendar_event_bubbles_action”>Expand Multi-day Events</label>== $0
         4. Violating node<label for=”_calendar_timezone_setting”>Timezone</label>== $0

I am stumped, unless there is a way to add some code to add an id to the Simple Calendar formfield elements.

BTW, given that any grouped calendar draws from other calendars with a google feed, would it not be more efficient to make all calendars “grouped” and just accept 1-to-n google calendar ids?

If it would help, I could give you temporary admin privileges on the site https://miningandsmeltingmuseum.net/, since it currently is not in active development. Not sure how to provide you those without exposing the site to the public, however.

Thank you for your help. Hoping to get some insight on this problem, as Simple Calendar is my go-to calendar for all my sites.

Hi there,

Thank you, John. I appreciate it.

Found some information here; am wondering if this is a Chrome browser issue.

Hi there,

Thanks for keeping in touch with us.

In this case, could you instead submit a support ticket here: https://simplecalendar.io/contact/ in regards to this matter for further review.

Kind Regards,

Hi John,

Oh good grief. As I was wandering thru the code looking for enlightenment, I could see (using “inspect”) that there should actually be a dropdown combo box for Grouped Calendars Manual selection with option values. And after intense careful viewing there is a very, very faint box border with nothing as an initial value. Clicking in that box brings up the selection option values. I had to get my eyes within 10 inches to see the box outline, it’s not visible at a distance further than that even with my high-rez monitor.

Why oh why does every other box on a calendar admin page have a noticeable outline around it, except the Grouped Calendars Manual selection one? For consistency’s sake either all the boxes should have borders too faint to see, or all should have a noticeable border.

Hi there,

I hope you are fine.

In this case, since this seems to be an issue specific to your site, kindly get back to us within the ticket that you raised.

Kind Regards,

John

Have submitted a f/u ticket to [email protected] with screenshot of the dim box border for the manual selection dropdown. Since I don’t have a pro version I was unable to submit a ticket other than to that email address.

Thank you, John, for all your help.

Hi there,

I hope that you are fine.

We have replied to your ticket. In order to adjust the border color, you need to add the following CSS code within your custom CSS section:

#simcal-calendar-settings .select2-selection {
    border: 1px solid #161515db;
}

I hope this helps.

Kind Regards

Perfect, John, thank you.

In regards to your screencast, the selection box border was dimmed out but you obviously knew where to click. Once it was clicked (box active), the border color changed.

Hi there,

Thanks for keeping in touch with us.

In this case, could you instead navigate to the admin.min.css file within the google-calendar-events\assets\generated directory path, search for the line of code below:

#simcal-calendar-settings .select2-selection{border:1px solid #ddd;border-radius:0}

To:

#simcal-calendar-settings .select2-selection{border:1px solid #000;border-radius:0}

I hope this helps.

Kind Regards

That worked. Hopefully the style will be consistent with the other input fields for the next update.

Thank you for all your help. This was really frustrating, but I love this calendar.

Hi there,

Thanks for keeping in touch with us.

In this case, I have added an enhancement request on this.

Kind Regards,

John
