[B] jqueryui-datepicker fails on Google translated pages

[githubertus]

I was wondering already some weeks which way people managed to register with a birthdate like NaN/NaN/NaN

Finally, I found the explanation here: https://bugs.jqueryui.com/ticket/8266

And actually you'll get it on an English page translated to German ...

Possible fix: https://sarathlal.com/stop-google-from-translating-datepicker-input-field/

I think we should also do validation in backend

@githubertus I got it translating the page from english to english. I also tried adding the "notranslate" class to the input, and it didn't change the NaN/NaN/NaN from the field. Was curious to know if you got it to work at all?

[lianglee]

@michieal depending on what version of OSSN you are running and did you verified if your birthdate field have notranslate class?

[michieal]

Ossn 6.1; And I specifically added (and checked in the page source) the notranslate class.

[lianglee]

@michieal You should check if the change effects the actual element you can use browser view source code to see.

[lianglee]

Not sure then what is cause if no translate class is there. Need to check

[michieal]

The "notranslate" class was added to the text input / textarea for the Birthdate field (that's read only). It filled it with NaN's when translated.
So, not sure - I followed the above, and I am pretty sure that I did it right.

Are we talking about THIS site?

[michieal]

@githubertus -- I used my beta site, not my live site.

[michieal]

I added this to the profile js:
var args = Ossn.call_hook('profile', 'birthdate:input', null, datepick_args); $("input[name='birthdate']").datepicker(args); $("input[name='birthdate']").addClass('notranslate');

And I also tried this in ossn.lib.users:
'text' => array( array( 'name' => 'birthdate', 'params' => array( 'readonly' => true, 'class' => 'notranslate', // this line here. ) )

Ok, and your beta site is a clean Ossn 6.x without any enabled extras?

uhm, not really. my beta site is the last testing zone before making things live. I dev on a vm, but I found out the hard way that there are differences between the vm and it being in the wild; so I made a mostly wild back up copy of the live site to test it one last time before making it live. Only I have access to the beta, as I don't want complete screw ups to be seen... kinda breaks the mystique if others see abject fails on a daily basis. lol

Well, I think we should end the discussion here. This is a place to report and fix bugs occurring in PLAIN VANILLA Ossn, and not in a whatsoever customized derivative. The more if we have no access to it.
