Salemaker won't assign start, end dates

What browser are you using?

Do you have java turned on?

I'm using Firefox 7.0.1, and/or Google Chrome.

Java is turned on.

Is this a clean install of v1.3.9h or an upgrade? :unsure:

it's an upgrade. I don't recall where I started but have upgraded every step since 1.3.8 something..........

I would use something like Beyond Compare from scootersoftware.com to compare the files in the /admin to your admin files and see if you have missed something along the way ...

I have not been able to reproduce the problem so far ...

I'll get started on that, thank you.

I've made those comparisons and do have some "different" files:

categories.php
downloads_manager.php
featured.php
products_expected.php
media_manager.php
products_price_manager.php
reviews.php
stats_products_lowstock.php
stats_products_viewed.php

but so far, the differences have only been

• @version $Id: (etc).

If I'm using WinMerge correctly (it's new to me)

Without actually seeing your files and database I am at a loss as to what the problem is on using the calendars ...

Did you try testing in IE? :unsure:

oops, sorry, that was hasty, I was using WinMerge incorrectly, and failed to specify comparing subfolders.

I have quite a few differences, might take a little while to enumerate them.......

I'm sitting here wondering if it could be a database-side problem of some kind..........I seldom monkey around in there, but I'm doing a more complete comparison of the fresh admin folder and my existing one and I'm not sure what that's going to divulge yet.

One thing you could try is to rename your admin directory to:
/your_admin_directory_old

and reload the whole directory:
/admin

from a clean v1.3.9h to your site and call it:
/your_admin_directory

and copy your file:
/your_admin_directory/includes/configure.php

and see if that works, as a test on Featured Products ...

That might at least rule out is it something in the directory ...

ok, I can sure look at that...........

in the meantime, I've finished my comparisons between the fresh admin folder and mine which is running.

If the fresh one is "left side" and the running files are "right side", there aren't many differences:

the left side (fresh files) contains several security patches I don't employ: cofig.security_patch, security_patch-v138.2 (several), ini_sanitize.php

and of course dist-configure which turns into configure.php on the other side

the right side (running site) has various banner info boxes, a few text changes I've made in "more information" line in files like document-product, product.php, product_free_shipping, product-music, and corresponding .bak files of those

and

extra_white_list.php.

I don't remember what that was for.

renaming the admin director and uploading a fresh set of admin files to olddirectoryname and adding my configure.php resulted in no change...........

:dontgetit

Rest of story: Issue was unrelated to Zen Cart (which I probably should have suspected when I found no similar topics), but I am grateful for the assistance I received here and having had the opportunity to run through my files again didn't hurt me a bit.

Further info:

Problem was specifically an incompatibility with third-party CloudFlare's RocketLoader beta, interfering with ZC calendar javascript. Disappeared after turning off CloudFlare setting.

Thanks for the update on the cause to this issue ... always a help to others ... :smile:

THANK YOU Saint Steven!!
I was going out of my mind as to why the calendar date picker wouldn't work.
Cloud Flare was the culprit! I NEVER would have figured it out!
(SO glad we keep these older posts around!)

Heh. Don't thank ME, thank Ajeh...........an obscure little problem, wasn't it? By the way, I only had to turn off the RocketLoader beta, not the entire CloudFlare protection....
