Date time box

I am using the latest Chronoforms 4.0 RC3.4.1 on Joomla 2.5.4. What I would like to accomplish in a datetime box is to:
1.) Block weekend days from being selected.
2.) Set the minimum date to the current date or the current date + 1 day (unless it is a weekend date)

I have set a designated the Field Class as datetime_19. I have tried various suggestions from your forums to no success. I have also utilized both date picker types.

I am setting up a form for customers to schedule a service appointment and the days for those appointments are Mon - Fri.

All help is appreciated.

Hi Chris,

The code for setting a start date is in this post. At the moment it doesn't look as though either datepicker supports selecting weekdays only :-( The MooTools version does have an option to exclude (or include) specific dates, I guess that this could be used if you aren't looking too far ahead. Otherwise it might be possible to extend the code to add this functionality but that would stretch my JavaScript knowledge a bit.

I have tried the suggestions of that post. None seem to work. I have the Mootools DatePicker selected.

The form is at http://www.wincomtec.com/index.php?option=com_chronoforms&chronoform=ScheduleAppointment

I have entered the following in the DateTime Picker Config field: datetime_19: { minDate: new Date() }

datetime_19 is the Field Class.

Hi Chris,

That syntax won't work. You just need minDate: new Date() in the DateTime Picker Config box.

Thanks. That did it.

Is there a way to make Sunday the first day on the calendar instead of Monday?

Hi cmwincom,

Please try startDay: 0 as an option. I think it will work with both datepickers though it's not documented for the MooTools one.

MonkeyPhysics has this note for it:

First day of a week. Can be 0 (Sunday) through 6 (Saturday) - be aware that this may affect your layout, since days in the last column will likely have a style with right-margin: 0px; which would need to be applied to a different day. Default value 1 is Monday.

Please try startDay: 0 as an option. I think it will work with both datepickers though it's not documented for the MooTools one.

Can you please specify where would this option be set? I cannot find an option text field in the wizard.

Thanks!

Hi jtalbot,

The box you need is on the form General tab; click the form name link in the Forms Manager to see it.
