non-required datetime box

hi there,

I have one datetime box (date) that is required and a second datetime box (date_end) that is not.
both fields are set up as date

when checking a db entry with only date entered date_end is set to 0000-00-00 as expected

however when following an edit link on the form date_end would hold the value 2011-01-01

what am I overlooking ? when editing an entry in a form I would like the non-required date field to be either blank or display 0000-00-00.

and a second question:
is there a way to require that date_end is at least 1 day after date ?

Hi Chrissy,

I will test this and get back to you.

Hi Chrissy,

I think you need to use the allowEmpty: Yes option for the datetime picker. If this is not set and the date field is empty then the datepicker inserts today's date.

hi Bob! welcome back!🙂

provided you mean adding the snippet in General tab - DateTime Picker config then yes that is working and I now get a 0000-00-00 when editing an entry

thanks for the hint!😀

I do have another question though:

is there a way to require that date_end is at least 1 day after date, i.e. can I enter a min date for date_end somewhere?

Hi chrissy,

you need:

minDate: { date: '10-03-2009', format: 'd-m-Y' }

in a Custom Datepicker action with a custom class for your date picker element.
