CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I'm having a problem with the "dojo widgets" on the advanced search screen. At first I did not even know they were missing, because I didn't know they were supposed to be thee (I just thought that the CRM was seriously lacking in search capability). Then I saw a post here that mentioned "dojo widgets" and had a screen shot -- I knew that I had a configuration problem (I assume the term comes from the dojo javascript toolkit). I made a change to the "resource settings" and suddenly I could see the widgets. I was quite pleased until I found that two of the exandable bars would not expand: custom fields, and memberships. These two sections just kind of jiggle a bit when clicked, but they do not expand to reveal the form fields that they are supposed to contain. I looked at the source HTML, and all of the expandable bars use exactly the same syntax, parameters, punctuation, and tag closures. I took the href from the two failing sections:

http://example.com/civicrm/contact/search/advanced?snippet=1&formType=custom

returns blank

http://wisconsingreenparty.org/civicrm/contact/search/advanced?snippet=1&formType=membership

returns a portion of an html form for selecting membership

It is worth noting that these forms worked last night after I 'fixed' them by setting the resource url, but that they have apparently stopped working for apparaently no reason at all this morning.

I am not sure where to go from here...

I have that same problem all the time.  Is this a known bug?  Is there a fix?

I read the original post here incorrectly.  My Dojo Widgets, under advanced search, appear, they just don't always expand.  When I click the ">>" button, say under "Change Log" on certain systems I use the area won't expand.  I know it is there because there might be a little bit of space I can click in, then use my arrow to scroll it up and down.  I use Firefox on a PC mostly, but on Safari the other day it did not expand.

Thanks for clarifying if this is a bug or not.

I am using 1.7 Beta 9101.  I know, it's a little out of date.  But it's working, for the most part, for my team.

dojo widgets are working fine for me in firefox but not under IE6 

It wouldn't bother me normally only at work I am forced to use IE.
'Tis a sad world

do others have a problem with dojo's under IE ?

I am using garland theme in drupal 5 and civicrm 1.7.9821

any help appreciated.

ps. below screenshot was taken from IE4linux (http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page  -If your interested  )

Yes, please file an issue in our issue tracker.

The problem seems to be related to the garland theme only. Using blue marine theme works fine. (haven't checked other themes yet)
So it seems the solution should be a patch/ override of the garland theme?

I haven't delved into the world of drupal theming (as yet) so I'm probably not the one to find the solution.
I wish I had more skills and could contribute more than just pointing out the problems. I hope one day to be able to but at this point of my life I don't have nearly as much time as I would like to put into my own learning.
