Two Questions about the date/time box

1) Is it possible to prevent someone from picking past dates? I would like only the current and future dates to be click-able.

2) Is it possible when using the Time Picker to have standard 12 hours and an option to also pick (AM/PM)?

Hi evilsnoop ,

Which version of ChronoForms are you using? You can find the version from Site Admin | Extensions | Install/Uninstall | Components in Joomla! 1.5 or Site Admin | Extensions | Extension Manager | Manage in Joomla! 1.6/1.7/2.5.

Am using chronoform V4 RC3.21 and joomla 2.5.. ok I found out how to block the dates but am still wondering on the standard 12hour time and the AM/PM

Hi evilsnoop ,

As far as I can see from the DatePicker documents there is no official support for a 12 hour time picker with am/pm :-(

Hunting around I found a modified version here where someone has added an 'ampm' option.

Bob

Could you let us know how you managed to block the dates so the user cannot click on the past dates ?
thanks

Hi LydiaB.

Please see this post (and the rest of the thread). The solution here is using the MooTools datepicker which is an option on the Form General tab.

Bob

Great, it works, thanks

Ok now that it is working with a specific date, how can I set it to today's date ?

thanks

Hi LydiaB,

Please see the second example "To specify a start date of today and block all past dates for example"

Bob

thanks a lot, we getting there.
Now the picked date cannot be in the past.

Just the last little problem : if I choose Moo Datepicker style Dashboard or Vista, when clicking on the box the calendar appears but only until the 19th of the month.
The last days of the month are missing.
any idea ?

Hi lydiab,

Please post a link to the form so I can take a quick look.

I have three sites with 6 months ago validated version of Chronoforms
http://www.patmos-holiday.com/booking-enquiries.html
http://www.malawi-travel.com/en/booking-enquiries.html
http://www.lindos-holiday.com/en/booking-enquiries.html

I could never block out past dates in those.

Now I am trying to use the new version of Chronoforms on
http://www.zambia-safari.com/en/booking-enquiries.html

which I am planning to validate as soon as everything is working fine.
You can see on this latest link that in the field Date of arrival (one of the fields towars the bottom)
the dates go to 19 and stop.

thanks

Hi lydiab,

The problem is this line in the beez5.css around line 1173

table {
    border: 1px solid #DDDDDD !important;
}

it's adding a border round the datepicker table and forcing all the dates down and out of sight.

You may be able to over-ride it with this code in a Load CSS action

table.days {
  border: none !important;
}

Bob

Wonderful !
thanks
