Calendar widget on latest CF8 not working correctly - greyed out

sem 09 Aug, 2024

Hey Max - created a form today with a calendar field - specified the format to me DD--MM-YYYY in the wizard.  Admin preview works perfectly.  When viewed in frontend the background for the field is grey, you click the insert date and either:

- the widget appears way off the bottom of the page (so you have to scroll down) (forcing a browser and Joomla cache fixed this) or

- the widget appears, you select a date and then it makes you select minutes and seconds.  This does not happen in the backend preview.

Ah ok - so there are a couple of posts like this - one answered one not.

  1. The widget position is a bug - but if you use Cassiopeia (default template) it works fine.  So the issue is a template conflict as Joomshaper Helix 3 has position:relative; in the body for the off-canvas menu.
  2. The widget asking for time as well as date even if the saved and display format is set to dd-mm-yyyy and the mode is set to Date only is again a template issue - testing with Cassiopeia again seems to resolve things.  Any chance you could look into this please Max?

For now I'm using a text field for the date with regex validation below as the form needs to be live this week.  This issue is with Helix3 by Joomshaper.  Not tested with Helix Ultimate.

Hi sem

apologizes for the late reply

is this the template: https://www.joomshaper.com/joomla-templates/helix3 ?

I have just tested both issues here and both work fine on Joomla 5, maybe the template had some issues which were fixed ?
