DatePicker will only let me select certain days

Hello. I have installed ChronoForms V5 and have everything working except the date picker it will only let me pick certain days each month they all seem to be at the beginning of the month I want all future days to be available to pick. I have searched the forums and have found nothing that helps me. Does anyone know anything that can help me please? 😀

I second this question; Same here; having the same issue but the month starts at -4 Mo and goes all the way to day 35!
When clicking on the > for next month the date picker closes. When clicking on any day it closes but nothing is set in the form field.

Can't find any specifics on this configuration.

Thanks!

Yup sounds like the same prob I have. I seen other form using chronoforms and they do the same thing. If anyone knows of a fix please help us!😀

Hi CharlesK52,

I think that Max posted a new release of CFv5 a few days ago that fixed some bugs with the datepicker. Do you have the latest version?

Bob

I have V5.0 which I downloaded on 01/30/2014. Is there a newer one?

Thanks for stepping in.

Hi homepage,

On the downloads page the latest version date is 01-02-2014 19:04

Bob

Cool!! Will head over and download and report back.

Thanks!!
Conrad

I downloaded mine just on 2-03-14 here is a link to the page http://cabinetdesignsource.com/index.php/staff/craig
http://cabinetdesignsource.com/index.php/staff/craig it starts with a negative date and ends with 35 I can only select the 1 day of this month I am using this form to help schedule appointments all appointments are tentative until phone confirmation by representative. Everything works just fine except the datepicker.

Just downloaded newest version. I am getting an Undefined NaN error where the month should be and the < & > arrows do not work. (Top of Calendar). Days are also 1-35.
Downloaded newest and installed. Now...

Between the Day Name and the Date numbers I have NaNNaNNaNNa and so forth and when I pick the date I now have NaN/NaN/NaN as the date remaining on the field.
I removed the datepicker field from the form and re-set it but get the same error.

Thanks!!

Not only the date picker it not working but when an email is sent this is what we get the xxx's I have put there to keep what did show up private however what is put into the fields is not coming through in the email. Is there any fix for this stuff I have 9 days to get this going. Man when I figure this thing out I am going to write up a manual for this!😀

Hi CharlesK52,

HTML input names can't contain spaces so 'First Name' isn't a valid name. Please try replacing it with e.g. first_name, and the same for the others with spaces.

Bob

okay working on it now that is the field name area right? also how do I get the datepicker to work?

Yes; any updates on the datepicker issue?

Thanks!

@charlesK52
this email cant work
BECAUSE:
field names MUST NOT contain blanks - all your non replaced field names docontain blanks! replace the blank by an underscore and it will work. {First_Name}
BUT YOU HAVE TO DO THIS everywhere where this field is used !! In the form definition (field name and field id ) and in the email db..read, db save .. and where you did use the field

{First Name} <- WRONG - // change this into {First_Name}
{Last Name} <- WRONG - // change this into {Last_Name}
{Phone Number} <- WRONG - // change this into {Phone Number}

You did not wonder why only the one word fields do work in your file - like 'email' and 'address' .. now you know that this ha d a reason

best regards
Alex
who is also desperate because of the missing documentation and had a few very bad days because of this.

What is the status on the 'date picker' issue? Is there a timeline?
Do I need to open a separate forum topic?
Am I on my own on this?

Any status would be appreciated.

Adding that I have the datepicker issue as well. Most days are greyed out and I can select only the 1st of this month. Days preceding the start of the month are negative numbers. The month IS displaying correctly, though.

[attachment=0]datepicker.JPG[/attachment]

Running CFv5.0 RC4.1 on Joomla 3.2.2
Tested and replicated in multiple browsers/platforms
Changing to other months does allow a few other options, but still limited to only a handful of days.
Thanks!

Hi cgoodwin,

That looks like something seriously wrong with the dates, I don't remember a month with three 1sts. Please ask Max using the Contact Us menu above and link to this thread, this is his code and I am not familiar with it :-(

Bob

Dose anyone know how to get this form to work? is there any basic tutorial for new users? I believe I have done everything right I have the htmlrender in the right spot I named the fields right I use no spaces and an underscore and the datepicker will not function properly and everyone seems to be silent on that topic when I fill it out and send it not all date is being sent to the email address specified it shows the html tags however everything between then is blank. I need this done tonight or tomorrow morning. I can not find any info anywhere and very little here can anyone PLEASE HELP!😀

Hi CharlesK52,

Max is away travelling at present and only has limited time to answer queries. Have you contacted him?

If your problem is urgent, then you could just try the method from this FAQ linked to a text input.

Bob

I saw that faq however I did not think it applied to my situation. However seems like I can use it so I am doing it now to see if I can get it to work which I know I can. Thank you I well let ya know the results.🙂

okay I got the datepicker to show up. However only two fields show up when the email is sent I did what you said earlier I will keep hacking at it though thank you sooooooo much for your help!!!!!😀

Hi,

Regarding the date picker, the problem happened to another user, and I can't reproduce it, testing his same form is fine even on his website, so it looks like browser/client dependent, this kind of problem is hard to fix but hopefully soon.

Regarding the form setup problems you have, please load the demo forms and check how they work or alter them to suit your needs!

Regards,
Max

okay I loaded the demo the field name and field id are the same as in the demo example fName is id and field name is fName as in the demo i check everything over and over when the form is submitted and I check the email all I get is this now.

<table>
<tr><td>First Name</td><td>{First Name}</td></tr>
<tr><td>Last Name</td><td>{Last Name}</td></tr>
<tr><td>Address</td><td></td></tr>
<tr><td>Phone</td><td>{Phone Number}</td></tr>
<tr><td>Email</td><td></td></tr>
<tr><td>Date</td><td></td></tr>
<tr><td>Question/Comments</td><td></td></tr>

IP x'ed out on purpose

I use to get two fields now that I changed the field name and id to the same as in the demo I get nothing also I do not want it in html weather I select html or text I get hrml I have people who do not know html who are receiving this so they will be totally lost! I have no idea what to do I am now going to change the field name and field id to different ones and see if that works. Does anyone have anything that can help cause so far nothing is working the date picker was more complex and I got that figured out easier! lol. Anyways thank you everyone for your time and effort!!!😀

okay now the address field is showing up in the email and nothing else and the phone number does now show the phone number is show <phone number> between the html tags. I do not get this thing I have programmed my own forms eaiser than this however I need some kind of wysiwyg for the people who are going to be using the back end. The thing is I have no clue what I did on the address part that I did not do on the other field in the form. Everything seems to be okay the link to the website is posted below I work 8-2 central time so if anyone has any suggestion I will get to it when I get off thank you all for your help!😀

It's just because your fields names have spaces in them, this is wrong, you may have spaces in labels, but not in fields names, and they should not have any special characters either!

Please fix them then clear your email template and save the form.

Max

I got the date picker working. I have four different pages all with email forms and I made sure they are all exactly the same and only one email form works. I do get this thing! ugh! I even checked the code in firefox and its right the field names have no spaces and no characters. However the field names are the same on all forms is this a problem? below is the code for tims email form everything is fine from what I can tell the email is sent and received but no date just a bunch of html with nothing that was imputed into the fields on the form.

I did notice that the numbers in back end on the setup part has to be in order which I made sure on all forms the website is cabinetdesignsource.com click on designers and there it is on form works the rest are set up just like the one that works but the rest do not work.

Hi CharlesK52,

Did you update your email template code after the changes made ? you may also clear it then save the form, which will generate a new template for you!

Max
