FAQs

For this form I used Trent Richardson's jQuery Timepicker Addon available here on GitHub. You will need to download the package and find the jquery-ui-timepicker-addon.js file in the dist folder. 

You can use the mimimised version if you prefer; there are also CSS and language files that may be useful but aren't covered in this FAQ. 

Upload the file to the /components/com_chronoforms5/extras/tr_timepicker folder on your site - you may need to create this and you should copy the Joomla! index.html file into any new folders.

You will also need to 'up-grade' the jQuery UI file as the one Joomla! uses doesn't seem to support the DatePicker. I use the excellent jQueryEasy extension which cleans up duplicates copies of jQuery and allows you to control the version used.

In your form add a Text Box element and give it a suitable name and id e.g. date_time. 

In the form On Load event add a Load JS action and add code like this to the JS Code box:

<?php
$jdoc = \JFactory::getDocument();
$jdoc->addScript(JURI::root().'components/com_chronoforms5/extras/tr_timepicker/jquery-ui-timepicker-addon.js');
?>

jQuery(document).ready(function (jQ) {
  jQ( '#date_time' ).datetimepicker({
    timeFormat: 'hh:mm tt',
    minDate: 0,
    minTime: '11:00 am',
    hour: 20,
    minute: 0,
    stepMinute: 15,
  });
});
