Support » Plugin: Simple Calendar - Google Calendar Plugin » QTip (Tooltips Not Showing) Problems and Fix

  • Had a problem today with a client’s site. I was receiving this in the Javascript console:

    Uncaught TypeError: Object has no method ‘qtip’

    Of course this generally means something has included a second copy and/or different version of jQuery so I seeked that out as a solution first to no avail as there was only one jQuery version being included.

    After some searching I came to find that there is a new version of ‘qtip’ (the jquery plugin that handles the tooltips for this plugin) found here:

    http://qtip2.com/

    I downloaded the base version of said new version and replace (first making a backup of the old one) the jquery-qtip.js file located under plugins/google-calendar-events/js/. In the process of things I also went to the settings for the plugin and set it to put all scripts in the footer (not sure if this made a difference or not, thought). Once changing out the JS file was complete I noticed my JS Console errors were gone now. However, still not seeing the tooltips as expected (they were showing up at the bottom of the page instead of at the mouse position).

    Next step was that there is a CSS file that comes with the download called jquery.qtip.css so I went ahead and added it too by adding this line:

    wp_enqueue_style( 'qtip_styles', WP_PLUGIN_URL . '/' . GCE_PLUGIN_NAME . '/css/jquery.qtip.css' );

    just beneath the other styles being included at line 272 in google-calendar-events.php.

    Now, this is just MY fix for the issue. I’m not sure if others are even seeing the problem but I’m guessing that it still couldn’t hurt to have an updated version of the jQuery plugin.

  • Hi, i have the same issue. I tried inserting the text you you have above and i got syntax errors. Should i be replacing WP_PLUGIN_URL with something else. Sorry, completely lost and frustrated. I love this plugin but can’t beleive that the jquery is out of date and no update.

    Any help you can offer is appreciated.

    Never mind I figured it out and it worked. THANKS!!!!!!
