Ajax Event Calendar conflict with Custom Field Template

Make sure you’re using version 0.9.9.2 of the AEC.
When both plugins are activated check your javascript console for errors.
If you don’t see any javascript errors, check your PHP logs for errors.
Either way, report your findings and I’ll do what I can to help.

Thanks,
Eran

FYI, I was able to install and run the two plugins without incident. So it could be the specific settings you’ve applied, or something else entirely that is coincidentally happening when you activate the Custom Field Template plugin.

Hi, Eran.
I’m using WP 3.2.1, AEC 0.9.9.2 and Custom Field Template 1.9.4. And also have the same problem.

Checking the javascript console, there’re errors on date.js of CFT.

Uncaught TypeError: Object [object DOMWindow] has no method ‘getFullYear’

And that contains an error on jquery.init_admin_calendar.js:227 ($.modal.onOpen).

Since I’ve never learned JS, I cannot get more information on that.
But on CFT, I made a date form, which has a JS calendar to input. So it might be a cause of this error that you didn’t have.

Please describe specifically how you setup the CFT plugin fields, so I can recreate the issue.

I’ve had the same issue using CFT and Ajax Events Calendar.

After reading this post I’ve removed date.js from the CFT folder and everything’s working fine now.

I know that’s far from ideal but I’m not using any date functions within my custom fields.

It would be great to have a proper fix for this though.

My custom fields look like this:

[Left Column]
type = textarea
rows = 20
cols = 1
size = 5
tinyMCE = true
mediaButton = true

It appears the CFT plugin is hijacking the AEC date methods – it has been logged for fixing in a future release, as I do not intend to delay the upcoming release for this issue.

Another workaround option: Use Advanced Custom Fields plugin instead of Custom Field Template. AEC and ACF play nice together. https://handpickedtomatoes.com/corrales/

Sorry for late reply.

I also removed date.js as tin_sldier says, and now AEC is working fine. Thanks.
Then there is no calendar form on CFT, but ok, I’ll wait for Eran’s future update.

Incidentally, my setup was like this:

[date]
type = text
size = 30
date = true
dateFormat = yyyy-mm-dd
startDate = ‘2006-04-01’

And now, I’ll try ACF. Thanks, spkane.

Sorry for the late reply. Thanks so much Kairi and tin_soldier. Removing date.js worked for me also. However, in IE9 i am unable to edit, add or view details from the back end. No viewing from front end either. I ran the console and am getting the following error when i click on an event:

SCRIPT65535: Invalid calling object
jquery.min.js?ver=1.6.1, line 17 character 28817

Anyone else experiencing this?

This plugin conflict with Custom Field Template is very low on my list of things to look into. If you want to use the calendar, I recommend trying the alternate Advanced Custom Fields plugin – according to other users this works well with the AEC.

Thanks

Eran and I recently looked into this conflict, and I have posted a feasible solution that allows Custom Field Template and Ajax Event Calendar to both work without having to disable Custom Field Template’s date-picker functionality:
