@willtaylordesign I just took a look at the āDate/Time Range selectorā and realized it uses the moment.js library which Air Calendar also uses. Just maybe this might have something to do with it because iāve also had some reports from those using the Air Calendar and Air Date/time picker (which also uses moment.js).
@neerja could this be the problem? If two plugins are loading different versions of a javascript library (e.g. moment.js in this case) what will happen.
@neerja on a more general case @Bubble should really listen to us and include commonly used libraries like moment.js so that different plugins doesnāt have to load different versions of the same library. On top of my head i know about 8 to 10 different plugins using moment.js. An option in the plugin editor that allows you to include a library like the way currently we can check a box to include jquery.
I donāt want to rely on another plugin loading a library for my plugin as that may also lead to some issues (e.g incompatible versions or something broken in their version of the library).
@seanhoots Our engineering team aims to have an update for this issue within the week. Iāve also shared your feature request for commonly used libraries in the plugin editor.
@simon iām not entirely sure if this is the problem. My Air Calendar demo uses has both plugins and it still works. So there might be another reason.
Lets see what Bubble engineers comes up with.
Iām having an issue with the calendar not showing up. I gave up using it in a reusable for this very reason and just built my scheduler direct into the page. That worked fine until I tried to copy & paste with workflows today.
On the page I copied it to, Iām getting these errors now.
I was reading up above and deleted the Air Date/time picker plugin from the app and now the calendars are working. Including the reusable I had given up on lol. I wasnāt actually using the Air Date/time picker element on any of the pages, just had it installed in the app.
So far, It does look like all three (below) known plugins interfering with Air Calendar are utilizing the moment.js library. I think your demo might be using a beta version for testing future features? Since that version looks not to be affected, would that mean releasing a version of it (minus the in progress portions) would fix it? (Iām happy to be a guinea pig! )
Also, every now and then I get the calendar working just by moving the Timex plugin element into a different group/location/layer on the same page. (itās very random and I havenāt noticed a pattern, other than confirming when it does work that moving it is the only change I made). As a workaround, is there maybe a way to delay loading (not delay displaying) plugins running on a page so that their code runs in a specific order?
@willtaylordesign no I havenāt heard anything on this from Bubble.
Also my demo version uses the same moment.js library version as the published one.
But as you discovered yourself that moving around the plugin elements sometimes make it work this might be the reason why my demo version doesnāt have any issues.
Itās obvious now that this issue is being caused by different versions of moment.js library being loaded.
So I think itās a matter of which version loads first and this depends on which element loads first.
The moment library adds the moment instance to the global space and that is what the calendar plugin uses. So if the other plugins load first their moment version the calendar picks that up leading to the issue i think.
The best way to address this issue as iāve mentioned to bubble several times is to include an option for plugins to specify that it uses the momemt.js libary (similar to how they allow us to check a box to include jquery).
This way plugin developers can ensure their plugin works with whatever moment.js libary bubble has.
Iāve counted more than 10 plugins all using moment.js libray with a number of them using different versions of the library.
Aside this compatibility issue this also even causes delay in load times if each plugin loads its own library which by the way is a huge library.
Hi Sean
I am facing a peculiar problem with the plugin - seems to work fine in dev. But in production it disappears sometimes & says missing element (happening more regularly now). I am subscribed to the plugin and paying as well. Dont have the Air Calendar plugin there either (which caused a conflict earlier). Please help resolve this - i can probably get it to work by deleting and rebuilding it, But thats a tedious producess and I did that once before
Just refreshing this inquiry from a week ago. Has there been any an update? Could a workaround be to arrange elements in a way that the order their libraries are loaded in can be controlled? If so, how would we go about that in the editor?
