Calendar not displaying in FF17/18beta

Just to be clear, this is the calendar when you create a job posting from the wp-admin interface. The fields are start posting date/end posting date/job start date/job end date

Yeah having the same problem since wp3.5
it does accept a manually inserted date

Glad to know it’s not just me!
Thanks for confirming.

Is there a place other than the forums where I should be submitting this bug?

I’m having the same issue. But when I put in the date manually, which isn’t a problem really, it goes to the archive when saved. But, then I go back in, re-put the date in and it works just fine. Maybe if the calendar worked this would fix the issue?

BTW, I’ve been using the plugin for years and love it. Gary knows what he is doing!

Has anyone found a solution to this issue yet? My client brought it to my attention today, and it looks like upgrading to WordPress 3.5 is the culprit.

While you can still manually type in the date, it MUST be in the year-month-day format (example: 2013-03-25), or else the plugin won’t recognize it and place it as “expired.”

If this doesn’t get resolved quickly, I’ll be forced to deactivate it.

I’m still dealing with this on my end.
Anyone from the plugin team wanna chime in?

Anyone have any insight into how other plugins migrated to whatever new calendar system WP3.5 added (or whatever the underlying issue is)?

Perhaps we can hotfix until the plugin author patches.

I solved the issue of the date picker not popping up. The file jquery-ui-datepicker.js, found in the plugin’s js folder, needs to be updated to 1.10.2. The plugin currently used jQuery version 1.7.

I downloaded the latest version of the coding from here:
https://jqueryui.com/download/

*Make sure you ONLY CHECK THE BOX FOR THE DATEPICKER and click download. If you sift through the files of the zipped folder, you’ll find a file called jquery.ui.datepicker.js. If you open the file, it should say “jQuery UI Datepicker 1.10.2” in the commented area.

Copy and paste this code into the plugin’s jquery-ui-datepicker.js file, save, upload and test it by going to “add new job”.

That worked for me! I recommend saving the older javascript file under a different name. That way you’ll have the original coding if something goes wrong.

Worked for me, however the filename was different.
I found the necessary function in jquery-ui-1.10.2.custom.zip/js/jquery-ui-1.10.2.custom.min.js

Copied the entire function beneath the comment and replaced the function in wp-content/plugins/job-manager/js/jquery-ui-datepicker.js

Someone who can change the code for the plugin, please put this into the next version.

Cheers.
