Topic: Datepicker Next and Previous Buttons Not Showing Up

Andrew Ford priority asked 5 years ago


Expected behavior The "next" and "previous" buttons should be displaying.

Actual behavior I'm not seeing the "next" and "previous" buttons, just seeing the square black box. I tried with FontAwesome 5.8.2 and 5.9.0.

Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.) enter image description here

I forgot to reply sooner. I figured this out without any CSS-hack.

I was using the new FontAwesome Kit which is a link to a minified js file instead of the css link that has always been provided on https://mdbootstrap.com/education/bootstrap/quick-start/

that's great you dealt with it.

Here is the problem and work around:

In mbd.css 4.8 .picker_box .picker_header .picker_nav--prev:before, .picker_box .picker_header .picker_nav--next:before { font-family: "Font Awesome 5 Free"; }

If you are using Font Awesome Pro you need to override this in your app css:

.picker_box .picker_header .picker_nav--prev:before, .picker_box .picker_header .picker_nav--next:before { font-family: "Font Awesome 5 Pro"; }

voila!

I have the same issue. This was not an issue in 4.7.

This question on stackoverflow addresses this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17394760/content-property-is-not-working-correctly

It appears that using Private Use code points is not a good idea, but using them with Font Awesome might be a different story - I don't know enough about it to make that determination.

All I know is that it looks great in 4.7 but not in 4.8.

I would like to be able to upgrade to 4.8.5 but there are several backward compatibility breaks with 4.8 - this is just another one. :(

Hi,

this is a problem only on your computer? The same effect is on your phone? Because we check this in different computers and systems and browsers and it works. Maybe there is some negative interaction of your system with Font Awesome?

Best, Marta

Hi,

I don't see the problem on my iPhone or browser. Which browser and version do you use?

Best, Marta
