login not working on chrome

(Dolphin 7.1) My members report they cannot log in with chrome, the bit that asks for age does not function and therefore people can't proceed any further.  I tested it in chrome and indeed the bit that asks for age where it opens up a box for the person to select age from a calender does not work. It works fine in other browsers. Since chrome is quite a popular browser i wonder if there is a way to stop this

I am not trying tro be rude or anything - but searching the forums would have resulted in a series of posts all with the same problem as you - there is a bug in which there has been a guide on applying a fix for this bug - I dont know what it is as i am not worried about anyone logging in to our site right now, and it is restricted to By Invitation Only. But if you search for chrome dob bug, I am sure you will find the post that has the fix in it.

this is the full topic posting:

this is the fix in that topic thread:

I see the fix, but ummm..... how do i do it?

you got me on that one - i dont know if the pink is supposed to be removed and the green added or vice versa

lol

heck - make a backup and try both ways - one of em should work. lololol

the red/pink has to be replaced with the green.

I have never seen any other software house provide fixes this way.  nomally they would provided files with the fixes applied just for users to override the files in the installations.  as changelog fixes like this is haerd for newbies to know what to do.  and the chrioem fix does not work as it will stop other functions to break

  You can download the files and replace. At the bottom of http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/changeset/17368  you will see "download in other formats", click zip achive and replace files with the new files in zip.

 They will provide file with the fixes applied.  It will be called Dolphin 7.1.1   There will also be a patch that upgrades 7.1.0 to 7.1.1   Both of these will have all the fixes applied.

Applying all the individual fixes from the code repository is not intended for 'newbies'.  Sometimes it's more involved than just replacing files.  Sometimes there are database modifications also. 

FYI: A few days ago I reopened the ticket for the Chrome issue,  because I don't think the supplied fix is adequate.

The real issue is the fact that the geniuses at google decided to add their own cute little popup date picker to every input field with a type attribute set to "date", thus breaking jquery date pickers all over the internet.  I'm sure this will get fixed properly, but's not a simple fix.   There's a lot of complaints about the same issue all over the internet, so maybe the purveyors of Chrome will undo their own damage, once they realize they've broken millions of jquery date pickers..... then again. maybe they won't.

I couldn't figure out how to fix it so i took out the date of birth bit so people can at least join. Now to figure out how to embed videos in groups *scratches head*

That is one of the reasons i HATE chrome.

The are surpassing microsoft by taking it upon themselves to do things their own way. Chrome rewrites CSS as well. Not many people would notice unless unless you start inspecting elements. But i have seen some of my css changed by chrome.

IE and Chrome should be banned. They both think they are gods and can do what they please.

Well thats Microsoft all over they are too big for their boots.  (they are getting rid of MSN.Live messenger next months and want everyone on skype, yet the ignore/refuse users pleas to release a skype app for blackberrys or the blackberry playbook, but thats a different story) I have never used IE for years.  I am that used to FF now
