Hi guys

I am creating a form where I need the users to be able to pick a date in the form. Is this a functionality in the Breeze? Or do I have to make 3 dropdownmenus (DD/MM/YY)?

Hmmm... found the answer myself in the community forms: Calendar. But I only need one field? When I try to drop the end date fiield I get an error popup stating the selected date. I tried to remove all entries to the end date in the submitpieces in the form, but I still get the error? What do I do?

Submit form looks like this:

// Get the date entered

$startdate = '';

foreach ($this->submitdata as $data)
switch ($data[1]) {
case 'StartDate' : $startdate = date("Y-m-d",strtotime($data[4]));
break;

default : break;
} // switch
// Pop-up the entered value to show it has been read
echo ('
<script language="JavaScript">alert ("'.$startdate.'");</script>


')

And it used to look like this:

// Get the date entered

$startdate = '';
$enddate = '';
foreach ($this->submitdata as $data)
switch ($data[1]) {
case 'StartDate' : $startdate = date("Y-m-d",strtotime($data[4]));
break;
case 'EndDate' : $enddate = date("Y-m-d",strtotime($data[4]));
break;
default : break;
} // switch
// Pop-up the entered value to show it has been read
echo ('
<script language="JavaScript">alert ("'.$startdate.' to '.$enddate.'");</script>

')

Works fine.

You should update that link in the wiki, the original link there is broken...

Hi guys, I spent most of the day to give some datepickers a try.
I just wanted to get rid of the old JSCal. First I tried JSCal2, but the guy seems to want some 80 $ to run it and anyway I didn't suceed on the fly and gave up on it.

I went out looking for something else and found this:

Unobtrusive Date-Picker Widget V4

To install, copy the contents of the .zip file to {mossite}/includes/js/

For the "before form" script:



Its pretty easy to trigger. Just add a text field and provide the class for the input. Thats it, the script does the rest and it looks amazing.

The only drawback I found so far, is the maxlength of the class input field in FacileForms itself, its set to 30. To call a calender with a lot of options, the classname could be very long and only the first 30 characters are saved. So I went about changing it here:

/administrator/components/com_facileforms/admin/element.html.php

search for this line:



and change to:



thats probably enough space.

Then you have to alter the corresponding field in the database, its also set to hold 30 chars. Its in the table "jos_facileforms_elements" the field name is "class2". Just set it to the same value you apllied to the maxlenghth.

Thats it, see it here:

East End Apartment

Maybe somebody could figure out howto pick the right localisation onload, from within FacileForms.

Seems like I was too happy too fast. The date shows up in the text field, but is not submitted with the form.

Anybody could figure why ?
