[Plugin: Ajax Event Calendar] adding, editing events not working

If it is basic and it works, that will be good enough for my limited use. Thanks…you site looks great!

thanks ludwigkeck…got it up and running and am very pleased with the results. I’m thinking what would be fun is if I could replace my regular “posts” that make up my “home” page with the full posting of the calendar posting. Maybe have a slider of current week’s activities on the home page…I’ll save that for another day, As it is now, I’m posting twice, but until I’m more sure of what I’m doing, I’ll leave it be. I have not noticed your “text Minimum” issue. Where did you see that show up? on the detail page per item, or on the calendar itself?

Glad to hear of your success, Did_U_BU. Take a look on the Timely plugin Settings page. There is a item “Agenda” view. When I tried that it showed all events. Maybe just what you are looking for. The time shift problems seems resolved after I deactivated Ajax and updated the times on my other events. There still is the “minimum text” problem for me. It shows up in the little pop-up when the pointer is moved to an event on the calendar. If the event text is short it shows titles of various items like categories. Not a serious problem – but check your pop-ups to make sure that you are happy. I signed up for the Timely forum (that’s where I learned of the time problem). But I can’t seem to find out how to create a new topic post there. Since Ajax seems dead I guess we can just continue here.

Having the same problem, can’t do anything with it in any browser.

You can replace the simplemodal javascript library (wp-content/plugins/ajax-event-calendar/js/jquery.simplemodal.1.4.3.min.js) by this fork from redaxmedia: https://github.com/redaxmedia/simplemodal

That works for me..
(IE 10.0.9200, FF 23.0.1, Chrome 26.0.1410, SRWare Iron 25.0.14)

zenixLR – would you mind elaborating on your comment about replacing the simplemodal js library. I downloaded the file and replaced it on my site, but I am still having the problem everyone else is having. Is there something further I need to do?

Many Thanks.

jquery.simplemodal.1.4.4.min.js does not fix this on my site. I suspect there are others. Have moved on to another calendar plugin.

Nothing appeared when I was clicking on events in dashboard or public page. Also got the timePicker issue described above.
IE and FF were complaining about something “Not implemented” in JScript console. It was the “removeExpression” method used in the js library jquery.simplemodal.1.4.3.min.js

I went on Eric Martin GitHub repository (original coder of the simplemodal library)
and found a new version (1.4.4). I tried to replace the current 1.4.3 version by this new one, but with no success: same effects, same cause..
Looking in the Issues thread on the repository, I’d found this post from redaxmedia that talk about this specific problem.
So I downloaded the redaxmedia’s fixed version of 1.4.4 and it works!

How to install it?

Enter the “js” directory in ajax calendar plugin:
cd wp-content/plugins/ajax-event-calendar/js

Download and rename the fixed version from redaxmedia repo:

wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/redaxmedia/simplemodal/raw/master/src/jquery.simplemodal.js -O jquery.simplemodal.1.4.99.js

Edit the ajax event calendar main php file:

nano wp-content/plugins/ajax-event-calendar/ajax-event-calendar.php

And replace this line:

wp_register_script('simplemodal', AEC_URL . 'js/jquery.simplemodal.1.4.3.min.js', array('jquery'), '1.4.3', true);

by this line:

wp_register_script('simplemodal', AEC_URL . 'js/jquery.simplemodal.1.4.99.js', array('jquery'), '1.4.99', true);

Flush your browser cache and that’s it!
I confirm that I can edit events or pick dates with the various browsers I mentionned above.

(Note: For the sake of simplicity, I didn’t described how to “minify” the js file but gOOgle is your friend on this..)

Same issue here! Crap!
Calendar shows on front end but not in the admin.

I can confirm that zenixLR’s solution above works. Replacing the original simplemodal.1.4.3 with 1.4.4 didn’t work, but using Rexamedia’s version and naming it 1.4.99 and editing ajax-event-calendar.php file to reflect the version change works.
Now all recent browsers display properly in front and backend.

IE8 and IE9 are still messed up which is unfortunate. When clicking on an event from an Eventlist the ajax “Loading Event Form…” popup occurs, but is not populated with the event information. When loading the actual calendar, it still freezes with the “Loading Events…” popup; the calendar remains empty.

I was having the same issue but noticed in the “official” support forum

https://code.google.com/p/wp-aec/issues/detail?id=530&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Summary%20Modified%20Reporter%20Stars

that it seems that NextGen Gallery was causing issues. I noted NG needed updating and did so. All works fine now.

Just wanted to thank zenixLR for his post.
I followed the steps and my calendar is now working perfectly.

Thanks for this matey.

Just checked the link supplied by lorax there is now a reply by the author dated 19th December stating:

I am no longer able to update/support the Ajax Event Calendar plugin for WordPress.

Alternative Free Calendar Plugins:
https://www.blazdesign.com/5-free-wordpress-calendar-plugins/

So looks like we are on our own now!

Many thanks to zenixLR and others for advice – I may have to replace with an alternative – which is a real pain as I have many events set up…

Dedicated to AEC plugin as long as it works, as I have not found another calendar with color category bars that cross dates. Example at https://mia.com/miami-events (plus an automatic short list that rolls to the front page!). If anybody finds a calendar with same abilities, please let me know, thank you!

Never found a gallery plugin that would not interfere with AEC, so no gallery plugins.

W3 Total Cache plugin, most versions, also interfered, no matter various settings. Quit W3 Total Cache when some info said it may not be a great gain on shared servers — decided I needed the Calendar more.

I wrote to Eran in December encouraging (begging) her to come back. Maybe she will someday, or maybe someone else can take over? As a free plugin (much gratitude), I’m guessing the popularity per numerous pleas for tweaks and embellishment became overwhelming.

Hoping Ajax Event Calendar makes it through the WP upgrade from 3.6.1 to 3.8 — I’ve been delaying for fear it may go bump ….

Well – I bit the bullet and tried the jquery.simplemodal fix detailed by zenixLR. It works for me!!!
Tested it with IE9, Firefox 21.0, safari 5.1.10.
Phew!! Back in business for now…
