Calendar tooltips now showing

I’ve updated to the latest of both Event Espresso (v3.1.33.3.P), and Events Calendar (v2.0.6.1). My custom colors on my calendar broke, as showing multiple categories no longer seems to work in the calendar. Is there any way to regain this functionality?

Also, none of the tooltips for the calendar events work, even though in the settings I have it set to show tooltips. I can see the tooltips being generated in the DOM (there are new DIVs added near the bottom of the </body> tag). But when hovering over the calendar events, nothing shows up. After looking at the new DOM elements, they are correct, just don’t have the correct position on the page to place them next to the actual calendar event.

I’m on the latest version of WP.

You can see the calendar here: http://performance-kids.com/classes/?loc=west_virginia (Events are in Sept 2013 for now)

It looks like custom colors are working to a point, some of the events have a red background color, and some have an orange background color. Was this displaying other colors before?

With the tooltips, you might try changing the tooltip position in the calendar settings to see if that helps. I was checking around the source of the page and it also looks like it’s loading up an older version of the calendar.css (1.5.2).

The newer version of Event Espresso’s calendar is running (1.6.1). While that shouldn’t make a difference for the tooltips, it might lead to another clue though. Do you happen to know why it’s still loading the old version of the calendar’s stylesheet?

I rolled back the calendar plugin, since it wasn’t working with my multiple categories.

I did test the new plugin, but still no luck getting the tooltips working, even after saving the position settings.

I just put the previous version of the plugin back. If there is a way to get multiple category classes on the event’s, then I can keep the latest version of the plugin. Any ideas on getting that capability working again? Thanks

I noticed it’s generating classes “four_yr_old” and “west_virginia”. Are those both categories?

It is, but that’s using the previous version of the calendar plugin. Whenever I use the latest version of the plugin, it will only output “west_virginia”.

That’s kind of strange because the version that I downloaded from my account page will output more than one category when I test it. I’ll double check this though to be sure.

I think I’ve discovered a bit of the issue. So on these calendar pages, I’m using the shortcode attribute like [ESPRESSO_CALENDAR event_category_id=”your_category_identifier”]. I’m doing this so that I can “filter” out which events actually show for that particular calendar (aka only the classes for the particular state the user is looking at.) When I use the event_category_id attribute, it no longer lets the events show their full list of categories. Any way to filter out the states like I mentioned, but still show all the event categories on each event with this latest version of the calendar plugin?

You can change line 192 of espresso-calendar.php to be:

$type = 'all';

Superb! That seems to have worked. However, now that I’m on the latest calendar plugin, I’m still not seeing any tooltips. I see them appear in the DOM when I hover over an event (using Chrome’s dev tools)

<div id=”ui-tooltip-18″ class=”ui-tooltip qtip….>

But they don’t position. I’ve updated the position options on the settings page like mentioned above, but still no luck. Any ideas?

You might try resetting the calendar options by checking the checkbox near the bottom of the calendar settings. A little tip: have the calendar settings open in another tab so you can set your custom settings back to what they were with one click.

I’ve reset the calendar options (which were defaults anyways, cause the defaults are fine with me). Still no tooltip sadly. All Event Espresso plugins are up to date, as is WP (and all other WP plugins). Any other ideas? Things to look for? Test? Etc? Thanks!

The only thing I could tell from testing is that the element css is getting written by jquery, display, z-index, but not the top and left. It could be some kind of javascript problem. I did notice that your theme is loading a custom jquery ui (just looking for differences between your calendar page and mine). Try switching to the twentytwelve theme to test and see if it makes a difference.

I updated to the latest jQuery UI. That seems to do the trick! Thanks so much
