    • This problem been discussed several times before on this group. You are almost certainly using another plugin that interferes with the event calendar's date picker. Turn that other plugin off and the event calendar should work properly.

      Read the other discussions in this group for more information.

    • Kevin,

      As a developer I to sometime over simplify problems that I fully understand to other who do not, thus I understand your response. You mentioned that the problem has been discussed many times before in this group. I found 2 instances and neither provide a clear understanding of the problem or any idea how to go about repairing. I know the plugin works as I used it during demo with out issue. Since this is my first project using elgg SE I may appear to be "lazy" in my troubleshooting efforts but actually I am on unfulmilar ground with the data structure and storage processes which forces me to ask seemingly stupid questions. 

      Out of 16 discussions there are 2 report I was able to find on this subject, if there is other areas or forums that may have good information on this issue I would welcome the URLs.

      The first talks about a new datepicker, Tried this and failed.... no change. The second I am not sure what he finally did. He had a Ah hahaha moment but failed to post the enlightenment. They talked a bit abot the date configuration but from what I have tried it has no effect on this issue as upon a save the date from the "Start date" field fails to save it's date format correctly. Now I am not sure if that is due to no date being set from form or if it is not the correct format when stored at the data base level.
      From what is returned I can assume that it is getting Epoch Start date from some where whether it is a default value if no value exists or if that is what is actually saved to database. I have no clue referring to my previous comment where I am confused about the data structure some what and my ability to confirm what data was saved..
      If it is just a plugin......
      I will setup and test a duplicate of my site and start killing plugins and moving stuff around until there is either a fix stumbled on or all plugin are gone and am left with a empty haul. I am posting my Plugin list in the order it currently is, my next post will be based on this list and it's order as it is now. If it is a plugin on my list doing it I will be reveiled here....

    • I have disables all plugin's and just had the calendar loaded and dates work fine, I did notice that the date format changed.

      When working, the date from the calendar is in "Saturday, November 28, 2009" format

      When all Plugin are loaded the same field and calender produces "11/28/2009" format

      There inlies the problem...  After working the plugin back and forth till I found the colporit, It is a order issues with a single plugin I am using called Custom_Profile_Fields which seems to load up another copy of the date picker with a different date saving format.

      If you load this plugin after the Event _calendar it causes any call to datepicker to use the CPF version of the date format and not the Event's version.

      Now who get a slap on the wrist?   8-)
