Date text boxes not showing on multiple admin pages

I have searched the FAQ and Forum with no luck. Any suggestion on search terms would be appreciated (if the answer is out there).

The date text box in a number of admin screens has disappeared.
Date Available on the Products screen
Available Date on the Specials and Featured Product screen
Expiry Date on the Specials and Featured Product screen
and others...

I have verified that Javascript is not disabled in my browsers. The issue occurs in FireFox 3.6.3, Opera 10.51 and IE 6.

There are no customizations, but I did a number of configuration changes. None looked like they might have caused the problem. I believe the text boxes were there when I entered my products, but could not swear to it since I did not use them. I found the issue when I tried to set up a special.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

New Install (not live)
Zen Cart 1.3.8a
Database Patch Level: 1.3.8
PHP Version: 5.2.9 (Zend: 2.2.0)
Database: MySQL 5.1.30
HTTP Server: Apache/2.2.11 (Unix)
Template: Classic Contemporary Green or Simple Zen (occurs in both)

I guess my search skills are a bit lacking. There was a four year old post with the same problem listed at the bottom of the page (under Similar Posts) after I posted my question. There does not appear to be an identified resolution, but I will try replacing my admin pages. I am not sure how a db restore would resolve this, but that is a moot point. I do not have a back up since the configuration on the install is only 2 days old. I had not gotten to the point I felt I needed a backup.

Any insght into this issue is still welcome.

Thank you!

:( OK, I have replaced the admin files and restored the configure.php file. This did not work.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

Those date popups are handled by the spiffycal javascript. If you've blocked javascript files, or disabled javascript in your browser, then the date popups will not work.

Thank you for the response! I double checked and Javascript is enabled on all three browsers. I believe the issue is site related because I am also setting up another Zen Cart store and the date boxes work fine on that domain (in the same 3 browsers). I will see if I can locate the spiffycal code and make sure it got transferred.

Thanks!

DrByte,

You put me on the right track. :clap: Thank you!
I copied the spiffyCal files to the server individually. I had copied over all the admin files earlier today with no luck. Not sure why copying them individually worked, though I did use a different FTP program just in case. Maybe the earlier transfer did not write the files properly.

Thank you again.
