manual input in calender field

Hi,

I use the calender to fill an input field with a date. So I add the class "cf_date_picker" to the input field. Now if I click into the textfield the calender appears.

But to navigate 30 years back, it needs a lot of clicks.
Is it possible to change the year directly with a dropdown field?
I also want to edit the date manually in the text field. But the field doesn't accept any keyboard input. Any suggestion?
Is it possible to display an calender icon next to the input field to open the calender insteads of onclick into the text field?

Regards tywox

Hi tywox,

I don't believe that you can make the input manually editable. (And if you do you usually end up with messy validation problems.)

You can though use the yearPicker: true option to show a much quicker year selector in the Calendar display.

Could you please guide me, which file shall i edit? i am using cf v3.2.

Hi shirzuis,

I don't think that exists in the CFV3 calendar code :-(

Hi Bob,
is there any other way to do it or suggestion you can give?

Hi shirzuis ,

I don't think so; the Aeron calendar use in CFv3 just doesn't hae a year picker. See the couments here

You can, of course, use a different calendar if you want. You'd need to load the scripts and configure it.
