Mouseover / overLIB javascript error

tabone5000 · 09-02-2005, 06:18 AM

Using version 6.2.11; just bought the license yesterday. The mouseover feature returns a javascript error of "expected a ')'" in the middle of some of the displayed events. I have the proper <?php $OL=1; require("calendar/calendar.php"); ?> after the body and <?php $CSS=1; require("calendar/calendar.php"); ?> before the end-head. (And it's enabled in the manager.) Everything else on the calendar works just fine.

When I view source of the broken page, I notice the javsacript isn't loading into the body like it should. The page in question is here: http://dev2.worldcinemaonline.com/discuss.php If you view the source, you can see on line 304, it loads:

<script type="text/JavaScript" src="/calendar/overLIB/overlib_mini.js"></script><script src="/calendar/overLIB/overlib_anchor.js"></script>

and then starts printing out our site code. Comparing this to other working calendars, there should be more code in between. (Pop-ups work just fine.) Am I missing something? Is there something I have to get modified on our server? I also found a thread which asked to go to the overLIB site, and that site works fine (as does ESPN and the demo, etc.).

Any help you can provide would be MUCH appreciated.

I haven't an answer to your question. But I have a question to you: in your calendar you wrote not "next" oder "last" month, you wrote "August" und "October" - that's much nicer, than "next" or last". How did you make this?

Thanks for your answer.

Actually, that's how the code should be outputted... But there is something wrong with the output from the calendar... For some reason, your site seems to be stripping out the backslashes that are required for the overLib code. For example, this is the code you have for the 17th

HTML Code:

onmouseover="return overlib('&lt;table width=''100%'' border=''0'' cellpadding=''2'' cellspacing=''0'' class=&quot;popupDateTable&quot;&gt;.....

when you should have

HTML Code:

onmouseover="return overlib('&lt;table width=\'100%\' border=\'0\' cellpadding=\'2\' cellspacing=\'0\' class=&quot;popupDateTable&quot;&gt;.....

There's not much difference, but it's a big one. For some reason it outputs '' (double single quote), instead of what it should \'

Brian, know of any reason why this would occur?

Andreas - i just set the CSS for the month name as 1px, black (so it's semi-hidden) and turned off the admin navigation. i then used PHP to determine the month and year for navigating back and forth, named the graphics accordingly (so, for example, "FEBRUARY" contains "02" in the filename) and it just shows (with links) 'prev month', 'this month', and 'next month'. as you navigate through, it changes accordingly. if you can do PHP, it's not too tricky!

Are you outputting the calendar to a variable then performing actions on that, like to assist with creating your header?

tabone5000 · 09-02-2005, 09:09 AM

The first few lines of code in the php file are:

<?php $CSS=1; require("calendar/calendar.php"); ?>
</head>
<body bgcolor [some php body attributes] >
<?php $OL=1; require("calendar/calendar.php"); ?>

and then, for the calendar:

<?php $TOC=1; require ("calendar/calendar.php"); ?>

The paths are correct as well. I'm not sure what you mean about the cal being a variable, but there's nothing going on with three required lines of code; the only other mods have been in the css. We are using a php 'include' for the header, yes, and it loads right after the '$OL=1' line.

I've not seen this before and there isn't any code in the calendar script that would produce this... The characters are probably being changed by a setting on the server?

I'd need access to your server to troubleshoot this. If that's possible, please open a support ticket and I'll look into it.

It was, in fact, the quotes. Our admin set it up with 'magic_quotes' and it seems resolved. Thanks for the help!
