[Plugin: Event Organiser] Date/Time/Venue picker disabled by Facebook AWD plugin

Yup – this was reported by someone else too.

The problem is with the Facebook AWD. See above link for a fix – but this should be reported to Facebook AWD as well, since an update will over-ride your changes.

I’ve just realised this has been tagged with facebook-awd :), so I’ll post the patch here too.

Currently the plug-in is loading its own jQuery UI scripts from its assets folder: ( AWD_facebook.php, line 596)

wp_enqueue_script($this->plugin_slug.'-jquery-ui');

WordPress provides jQuery UI script, and loading a second copy will break plug-ins that use it. Changing the above to:

//wp_enqueue_script($this->plugin_slug.'-jquery-ui');
     wp_enqueue_script('jquery-ui-core');
     wp_enqueue_script('jquery-ui-accordion');
     wp_enqueue_script('jquery-ui-tabs');

It would be great if you could fix this to prevent breaking other plug-ins.

Yes! That did the trick. I spent a lot of time searching before I posted, but nothing came up under “date picker”.

Thank you for supporting your plugin so actively! We’re in the process of converting our website over to WordPress and it has been a HUGE boon for us (we’re a non-profit art gallery).

As the plugin have is own register script for jquery ui, you can disable it without edit facebook AWD file.

<?php
//put that somewhere in a 'mini plugin'
global $AWD_facebook;
wp_deregister_script($AWD_facebook->plugin_slug.'-jquery-ui');
?>

But won’t that break the facebook AWD plug-in, since it will no longer enqueue the necessary jQuery UI?

Really, you shouldn’t be registering your own jQuery UI script – but using WordPress’s stored jQuery UI. Otherwise, it will break other plug-ins.

Yes, i know that, but WP jquery source for UI is not complete.
I will try to call what i only really need for the next release

Thanks.
