Revision as of 22:06, 8 March 2013

In some cases, you may experience an issue with the Joomla calendar used in JomSocial that will look distorted, similar to how it is shown below:

This is typically an error attributed to the template. To verify this is the case, switch to Joomla's default Beez template and see if the calendar is styled properly. If so, then your template will have to be fixed by your template provider.

This happens, because JomSocial does not style the calendar that is used in Events. Although it seems that it's a JomSocial calendar since it is loaded on a JomSocial page, you are actually accessing the native Joomla calendar and this calendar is styled exclusively by the Joomla template; hence, why it worked well with Beez. Therefore, the styling issues are related to your template and your template provider should be able to correct the issue. It will likely affect any other component you use that accesses the native Joomla calendar.

-Just to make sure, switch to Joomla's default Beez template and see how nicely calendar will be styled.
-This happens, because JomSocial '''does not''' style the calendar that is used at events. Although it seems that its a jomsocial calendar, because logically it is loaded on jomsocial page, this actually isnt the case. What really happens is that we use native Joomla calendar which is already available in Joomla, with or without JomSocial installed, and this calendar is styled exclusively by Joomla template (hence it working fine with Beez)

-That being said, we cant possibly know how to solve styling problems in the template we didn't created, so please, urge your template provider to do it. It should really have to be fixed on their side as every component that use native Joomla calendar will face the same problem.
