• I’ve included the event shortcode [wpa-event id=N] in a results page and I’ve had reports that some users see a results table that never populates, That is, the event name, venue, surface and date appear above the table, as do the table’s column headings, but there is only a single row stating “No matching records found” and no real data is displayed.

    On further investigation, the issue only appears to occur in IE9 and IE8 (regardless of whether the OS is Windows 7 or XP). Modern browsers don’t exhibit the issue (IE11, IE10, Chrome, Firefox and Opera all display results in the table). I presume that the older browsers are choking whilst attempting asynchronous retrieval of the data. I don’t have time right now to investigate further, so thought I’d notify you at the very least.

    Android browser exhibits the same issue.

    Can you provide a link to the page exhibiting the behavior? I have an idea but would like to check it.

    Thanks

    Sure, there are a number of results tables on this page…

    I was able to reproduce it on IE 9.0.33 on Windows 7 only.
    I then opened up IE 9 developer tools and it then loaded.

    This pointed me to this. wp-athletics is very AJAX oriented.

    There are similar threads about older versions of Android out there going back some years.

    Being IE9 is depreciated I am not sure how much effort should be put into fixing it. wp-athletics also uses a several year old version of some backend stuff. I have updated it and have it running on my test site right now with this newer version but I am not able to definitively tell yet if it will fix it or it is something that needs to be fixed manually (if it can be).

    I have some free time to work on this plugin this week as I need it for my own clubs purposes so if I can track it down I will try to fix it in the build I am currently working on and testing this week which has some enhancements and fixes. I have what I need I think for at least exploring more and maybe doing some thing with it. I’ll let you know if I do.
