links to past & future months don't work

Anyone had any problems with this? Its exclusive to safari on a desktop (it works fine on ipad and iphone).

Thanks,

Yes, here exactly the same problem with Safari on desktop.
Hope this can be solved soon.
Thanks,
Pieter

Howdy gyse69,

I see you found your way over to our tri.be forums: https://tri.be/support/forums/topic/next-previous-links-not-working-in-calendar-view/

This looks to be an issue isolated to Safari 5 — a browser even Apple no longer supports. Unfortunately like Apple, Google, and many other companies we can not support it anymore either. I realize that Apple has made it expensive to update OSX/Safari past 10.6/5.1 respectively. If updating those is not possible for you, perhaps switching to a free browser like Chrome or Firefox is? As time goes on more and more of the web will stop functioning for Safari 5. At some point virtually everyone will have to update or switch. ??

I hope you guys understand the reasoning here. Cheers!

Ok. Thanks. I see. Of course. I know.
But all these (still many) Safari 5 users are really unable to use it now … hmm.
Maybe going back to older version for some time period?
We’ll think about it.

I have this same issue with Firefox and IE 9 as well as Safari…..

Hi wimborneminsterdarts,

We’d be happy to help you out, but please start a new thread so that we can focus on your specific situation. Please include as much detail as possible about the behavior you’re seeing on the different browsers.

Thank you,
Leah

I think it is the same issue as the guys in this forum.

Unfortunately to help the majority of my users, I’ve had to change calendars – sorry.

I’m sorry to hear that. Thanks for letting us know.

Is this really hard to solve? When you right-click on the link and open it in a new window it does work in Safari 5. So it is just a matter of getting the link “clickable”. Maybe some hack?

Hi Pieter,

As Brook said, we are unable to continue supporting Safari 5. It’s possible that there is a hack or workaround, but we are not able to assist with that. Thank you for your understanding.

Best,
Leah

I have to deal with this today. It seems like an actual bug.

I created a workaround on this:

function next_fix() {
    $html = '';
    $url = tribe_get_next_month_link();
    $text = tribe_get_next_month_text();

    $date = TribeEvents::instance()->nextMonth( tribe_get_month_view_date() );
    return $html = '<a data-month="' . $date . '" href="' . $url . '" rel="next">' . $text . ' <span>?</span></a>';
}
add_filter('tribe_events_the_next_month_link', 'next_fix', 10);

The downside is that will show the next link eventhough there is no future events. But I can live with that.

Thanks for sharing your solution itumulak!

@ itumulak
Thanks. Wonderful.
Now, I guess this should go into /public/template-tags/month.php but where exactly?
Thanks in advance.

@pieter

I believe you can stick that into the file anywhere under the <?php tag.

Thanks but sorry, it didn’t work here.
Just got that extra “next” link but couldn’t click the “past” link.
