Bootstrap datepicker just won't work for me. I know this question has been asked before but after searching a long time I could not find an answer.
I have the following configurations. When loading the page, the input field appears but no calendar to select appears when clicking on the field. Any help is very appreciated.
application.js
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require bootstrap
//= require_tree .
//= require prototype
//= require prototype_ujs
//= require effects
//= require dragdrop
//= require controls
//= require bootstrap-datetimepicker
//= require bootstrap-datepicker
//= require_self
$('[data-behaviour~=datepicker]').datepicker()
application.css
/*
*= require_self
*= require_tree .
*= require bootstrap-datepicker
*/
custom.css.scss
#import "bootstrap";
#import 'bootstrap-datetimepicker';
and in the view
<input type="text" data-behaviour='datepicker' >
I have tried a couple of variations suggested in other topics on stackoverflow, but none of them worked. E.g.,
$(function() {
$('#dp5').datepicker()
});
together with
<input class="span2" id="dp5" readonly="" value="02-02-2012" size="16">
does not work neither.
Have you tried this gem: https://github.com/lubieniebieski/bootstrap-datetimepicker-rails ?
It will pack your Javascript and CSS required for datetimepicker into rails asset pipeline properly.
This problem happens because of the jquery version in your case
//= require jquery
Try downloading another version of the jquery and replace your current one. I had the exact same problem and that was the solution. Try with versions 1.5 or 2.0 or something like that.
Also, please note that by:
//= require_tree .
You are including .js files from the javascript directory, so please be sure that you haven't downloaded another version of jquery and you are automatically including second version also. You will have conflict issues.
If it all doesn't work you can try to look at the answer here also jQuery in Rails 3.2 not displaying datepicker
Important:
Make sure when you are testing to refresh your page with ctrl+ F5 ! It will refresh the whole page from the beginning and it will not include cashed elements and this is very important as you might find a solution, but due cashing you will not notice the change and you could miss the solution only because of the cashing.

I'm beginner in RoR and trying to enable pickadate.js in my app.
In matching controller's file app/assets/javascripts/calc_date.js.coffee
I've typed:
$ ->
$(".date").pickadate()
In form partial app/views/calc_date/_form.html.haml I've typed:
= form_tag('/calc_date/calc') do
%div
%b Please, select date:
= date_field_tag 'date', #date, id: "date", class: "date"
= submit_tag 'Calculate'
When I click into input field nothing is happening.
I'm expecting that a calendar widget will appear but it won't work.
In application.js:
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require turbolinks
//= require pickadate/picker
//= require pickadate/picker.date
//= require pickadate/translations/ru_RU
//= require_tree .
In application.css:
*= require pickadate/default
*= require pickadate/default.date
*= require_tree .
*= require_self
I did a try with jquery-ui-date and it worked. I use the same way with pickadate.js but got no reaction from it.
In terminal window I can see lines like this:
Started GET "/assets/pickadate/picker.js?body=1" for 127.0.0.1 at 2015-03-12 15:26:44 +0300
Started GET "/assets/pickadate/picker.date.js?body=1" for 127.0.0.1 at 2015-03-12 15:26:44 +0300
What is my mistake or what had I've missed?
Thank you.
I know this is a little old but I just came across a similar issue and I think it would be the same problem you seem to be having.
Bit of a run down for my situation:
I'm working on a client's form and have pickadate running, it was working, then I realized that every time I loaded a new page it wouldn't initiate... refresh page, works again.
What was the problem...... TURBO LINKS.... my god, that thing drives me nuts. I always take it out but it was in there as I can see its in your app too.
Apart from that, your code seems fine, should be working.
The Rails asset pipeline ignores the first folder in the assets directory. Try this instead:
In application.js:
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require turbolinks
//= require picker
//= require picker.date
//= require translations/ru_RU
//= require_tree .
In application.css:
*= require default
*= require default.date
*= require_tree .
*= require_self
I know this type of question has come up before on SO, and I have tried every solution I could find, but nothing seems to work. The javascript is working fine, but for some reason, I can't get the datepicker window to go in the right spot or format correctly. After testing multiple gems, I keep getting this:
There are no errors in my console. Here is what my related gems look like in my Gemfile:
gem 'jquery-rails', "~> 2.3.0"
gem 'bootstrap-sass'
gem 'bootstrap-datepicker-rails'
And here is my application.js
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require turbolinks
//= require bootstrap
//= require bootstrap-datepicker
//= require_self
And my application.css has:
*= require bootstrap-datepicker
As for the actual html file, it looks like this (application#index.html)
<input type="text" data-behaviour='datepicker' >
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('[data-behaviour~=datepicker]').datepicker();
})
</script>
Any and all ideas are welcome.
UPDATE:
It seems like my bootstrap css files aren't loading at all. Do I need to use css.scss files? I can't seem to find a straightforward answer online. Manually inserting the css into my application.css file results in this:
Just for a sanity check give the standard jquery datepicker a shot. I generally use it with bootstrap.
app/assets/javascripts/application.js
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require twitter/bootstrap
//= require jquery.ui.datepicker
//= require jquery.timepicker.js
//= require_tree .
app/assets/stylesheets/application.css
*= require jquery.ui.datepicker
*= require jquery.timepicker.css
*= require_self
*= require_tree .
app/assets/javascripts/your_model.js.coffee
jQuery ->
$("#div_id_here").datepicker dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd"
Since you're using bootstrap-sass, you can (and should) use #import statements instead of *= require statements for your css.scss files. This allows you to define and use variables, etc amongst all of your css.scss files, which allows for full customization of Bootstrap and its components. I'm not sure if there could be something else wrong with your configuration... but I'd suggest starting here anyway since none of your css is showing up. So your application.css.scss file would look like:
# #import any file that may contain variables you'd like to use in any libraries
# added below this point (e.g. `defines.css.css`)
#import "bootstrap_and_overrides";
#import "bootstrap-datepicker";
# #import "whatever other .css.scss files you have...";
Then in bootstrap.css.scss you'd individually import each of the desired bootstrap CSS components after "overriding" any variables. Here is what you need to start from:
variables (this is the basis your variable/style "overrides", placed at the tope of your bootstrap_and_overrides.css.scss file.)
bootstrap components (this is the core of your bootstrap_and_overrides.css.scss file.)
I would like to include the following datetime picker in my rails application.
http://www.malot.fr/bootstrap-datetimepicker/
I am using twitter bootstrap for rails, but can't get it to work.
I tried adding the .js file to the assets/javascripts directory and using //= require to include it in the application.js file.
The files are loading on the page, but I'm getting a response that
Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'datetimepicker'
Any ideas? I've reverted all of my changes, so can start again from scratch.
application.js
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require twitter/bootstrap
//= require bootstrap
//= require_tree .
I think the problem happened at //=require_tree. Yes you added that plugin but the plugin is loaded after your custom js which have method to call the plugin. That's why "Object has no method 'datetimepicker'".
I would suggest you to:
Move the plugin into vendor/assets/javascripts/. This is a better place for third party libs.
require the plugin explicitly in application, after bootstrap(it depends on bootstrap's dropdown. Like
//= require bootstrap
//= require datetime_picker_js_file_name
//= require_tree .
Side notes:
I don't quite know why there are two bootstrap js files required. Are they duplicate?
Besides, I would recommend to require Bootstrap js files only on need, like
//= require bootstrap-dropdown
//= require bootstrap-alert
I am having trouble with getting my bootstrap popover to work correctly in my rails application. I have tried solutions to other questions with no success.
Currently in my HTML I have:
<i class="icon-exclamation-sign" id="info" rel="popover" data-content="some info"></i>
and
<script>
$(function () {
$(".icon-exclamation-sign").popover();
});
</script>
My application.js looks like:
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require bootstrap-datepicker
//= require_tree .
//= require bootstrap-tooltip
//= require bootstrap-popover
and my application.css looks like:
/*
*= require_tree .
*= require bootstrap-datepicker
*/
And I get the error: Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'popover' when loading the page. What am I doing wrong?
EDIT: Also I have tried just using require bootstrap instead of tooltip and popover in my application.js with no luck.
Try putting the code under /app/assets/javascripts/ and see if it changes anything.
/javascripts/some_name.js
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".icon-exclamation-sign").popover();
});
Actually I think the problem is that //= require_tree . should be last, try the following:
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require bootstrap-datepicker
//= require bootstrap-tooltip
//= require bootstrap-popover
//= require_tree .
Same for application.css
I finally figured out the problem by following the advice here.
I had to add the line to my development.rb file:
config.serve_static_assets = false
Try the rake assets:clean command. This should delete any legacy JS/CSS that hasn't picked up your changes.
With most browsers you can view the source of the page to check the versions of the the asset files it's using, see if your changes are being picked up in there and if they aren't, this might work.
This is driving me absolutely bonkers, and it seems like such a simple thing to implement. I can't get tooltips (or, for that matter, popovers) to work. I have the 'twitter-bootstrap-rails' gem installed, and I generated the appropriate .js and .css files.
I don't think it's a JQuery issue because I have other JQuery functionality on my site that works perfectly.
Here's some relevant code.
application.js
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require twitter/bootstrap
//= require bootstrap-tooltip
//= require bootstrap-popover
//= require prototype
//= require prototype_ujs
//= require effects
//= require dragdrop
//= require controls
//= require_tree .
$('a').tooltip();
application.css
*= require_self
*= require_tree .
*= reqire_twitter/bootstrap
Code I'd like to get to work for tooltips
test
The above code, when hovered over, just shows Chrome's normal tooltip. I'm getting the same behavior in Safari, so I doubt it's browser-specific.
I'm using Rails 3.2.7, adding Bootstrap manually. Everything works just fine.
application.css
*= require style
*= require bootstrap.min
*= require bootstrap-responsive.min
*= require_tree .
application.js
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require bootstrap.min
$(document).ready(function(){
$('a').tooltip();
});
//= require_tree .
and layout/application.html.erb
<head>
<%= stylesheet_link_tag("application", :media => "all") %>
</head>
<body>
<%= yield %>
<!-- scripts concatenated and minified via build script -->
<%= javascript_include_tag "application" %>
<!-- end scripts -->
</body>
</html>
Your application.js code will be executed before your web page is fully loaded into the browser, so your line of code will not find any element prior to the page load.
You will need to execute when the DOM is fully loaded:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('a').tooltip();
});
The solution to this was two-fold.
Change the $ in the code to jQuery. This got rid of the "Object # has no method 'ready'" error.
I had a bootstrap.js.coffee file that had irrelevant code. When I deleted the file, everything began working again. This got rid of the "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'tooltip' of null" error.
After much fighting, in order to get it working properly with Rails 3.2 I had to do the following:
in application.js:
//= require bootstrap
in the view template where I want the tooltip, include the rel='tooltip' attribute:
= link_to "Link text", title: 'Click to reveal tracks', 'data-placement' => 'top', rel: :tooltip
or if you're not using HAML:
Link text
in any of the coffeescript files (I created a new one) put this:
jQuery ->
$('[rel="tooltip"]').tooltip()
This works, though the styling for the tooltips are not working, I can't figure out why, but the javascript seems to be working at least.
Hopefully this will help someome else.
As someone commented already, bootstrap-sass includes a coffeescript file which has this in it:
jQuery ->
$("a[rel=popover]").popover()
$(".tooltip").tooltip()
$("a[rel=tooltip]").tooltip()
If you call this file there is no need to include the other coffeescript file above since this one does the same thing. In my case I already have bootstrap.js called from application.js so this one wasn't called (I removed require_tree so I can call the files I want in the order I want).
