[Plugin: Events Manager] Datepicker CSS clashing with Gravity Forms (or vice-versa)

  • Hello. Your plugin is great by the way, but one thing that’s stopping me from upgrading to Pro is the datepicker UI CSS and how it clashes with the Gravity Forms datepicker CSS.

    I’ve been using Gravity Forms for a few months, and it’s saved me time and too much mental energy, so it is highly unlikely I’ll be dropping it. I have a gravity form with a date picker, and the styling is minimal and ready for me to work on.

    However, this conflicts with the styling of your date picker on the Events user submission form, meaning it is cumbersome to achieve a consistent look across the site.

    Perhaps you could work with Gravity Forms to work out how you could create greater consistency in styling, or more integration with Gravity Forms (perhaps as an additional option to your form template option)?

    Thanks. Gavin.

  • Hi,

    one of the reason might be because EM uses wordpress native jquery-ui-datepicker while GF uses its own date-picker library.

    I’d gladly work with GF on this, but not sure there’s something we can do anymore. Since there’s no established way to share these sorts of CSS library files (not like javascript files) this is sort of unaviodable until there is one.

    EM only loads the jQuery stylesheet if a datepicker is needed on that page, so chances are that GF has a form on the same page as EM.

    btw, I actually introduced this feature so that it would work with GF (and it did last time I tested it)

    Hi Marcus – you say you introduced the feature to work with GF? What do you mean?

    I’ve created a custom template by creating a plugins folder in my theme’s directory, which works great. But are you saying that I can create a GF and then link custom fields to the events manager fields? I didn’t think this was possible, but if it is, it would be one way to deal with the css issues.

    Thanks.

    loading CSS dynamically via JS

    GF and EM forms don’t mix. I’m saying that chances are you have a GF form on the same page as the EM form with a datepicker, which is why there’s be a clash (because there’s two CSS files being loaded).

    Thanks. The conflict is arising due to both EM and GF datepickers having the ui-datepicker-div class associated with them. I’ve managed to find something on the GF forum to assign an GF-specific class to their datepicker which has resolved the issue.

    thanks for updating.

    great to hear. Since they use their own library, that was a sensible move.
