datepicker error
I want to have a datepicker field. I've installed this extension latest version (0.4.1) I've added it to an existing working form on MW 1.16.5+SMW 1.5.6 + SF 2.2. But it's not working, I'm getting an empty field instead of a nice datepicker box. I'm noticing a javascript error Error: missing ] after element list Line: 92, Column: 25 Source Code:
monthNamesShort: ['ינו,'פבר,'מרץ','אפר,'מאי','יוני','יולי','אוג,'ספט,'אוק,'נוב,'דצמ],
(month names are in hebrew)
Obviously ] is not missing. Is this a known error? Thank you85.250.162.123 16:21, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
Hi,
no, this is not a known error, so thanks for the report!
The problem seems to be with the hebrew localization. For some reason the month names contain apostrophes and apparently I did not escape them before including them in the JavaScript code. This leads to garbage strings which the browser can not interpret.
I will fix this bug in the next version, though I am pretty busy right now, so it could take a bit. If you want you can monitor the bug report I created for that: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30478 . Just add your email address to the CC list.
Thanks. Either way, I manually changed the abbreviated month names in MessagesHe.php, which made this error message disappear, but the datepicker is still not working, and all I get is still an empty box instead of a nice date picker. So this is not the only problem. Since there are no more errors, just a lot of warnings it's hard to tell what is the problem now 85.250.162.123 18:00, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
