Demo of Lite / Calendar plugin (EE3) – calendar won't show up

I’m demoing the lite version of EE3, and installed the Calendar plugin, but I can’t get the calendar to show up. The shortcode does not display, but neither does the calendar.

I’m attempting to display the calendar under the list view for comparison.

Any ideas?

Hi there Tim,

I’ve tested this with the latest version of Event Espresso Lite and the Calendar Addon for EE3 and it is working for me.

What is the shortcode that you are using?

<code>[ESPRESSO_EVENTS]

Calendar:

[ESPRESSO_CALENDAR show_expired=&quot;true&quot;]</code>

I’ve also tried without the show_expired="true" on the calendar code, and without the [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] shortcode on the page.

The [ESPRESSO_CALENDAR] shortcode is separate from the Espresso Events shortcode.

Could you share a link to this page?

I’ll see if there’s a link that can be shared — it’s on a client’s dev server. Is there a way I can pass the details along privately?

Hi Tim,

I checked on this and it turns out that the main.js files that’s being loaded up from the /assets directory was not written to be compatible with jQuery’s no conflict mode. So an error is thrown and the scripts stop running before the Calendar gets loaded up. The key to correcting this is to make sure you use jQuery instead of $ or use no conflict wrappers where you pass in the $ as shorthand for ‘jQuery’. Her’s a reference that will help explain this in more detail:

You will also need to make sure that the theme is loading the current version of jQuery. The version of the jQuery library that’s being loaded to the site right now is jQuery v1.7.1. We recommend using the version that’s included with WordPress itself.

Here are a few more references that you can use to help make the needed corrections:

Thanks, Josh.

I’ll need to verify with the client what I’m allowed to change to get this up and going.
