DateTime Picker with Dropdowns for Month/Year

Add a DateTime Picker with dropdowns for month and year in ChronoForms.

Overview

The user wanted a date picker with dropdown selectors for faster month and year selection, similar to a MooTools example they found.
Enable the built-in MooTools datepicker in CFv4 and set its startView to 'years'. Alternatively, you can use an updated jQuery UI datepicker with a modified setup.

I am in need of a DateTime Picker that allows the user to use a dropdown to quickly select Month and Year. Is this possible.

It would look like this:
DateTime Picker with Dropdowns for Month/Year  image 1

I have seen a MooTools DatePicker that uses that, but I am unable to figure out how to make it work on ChronoForms.

You can see the example in action at http://www.styledisplay.com/mootoolsdatepicker/

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi melvins138,

Which versions of ChronoForms and Joomla! are you using?

Hi Melvins138,

The simplest solution to this in CFv4 is to use the built-in MooTools datepicker and set the startView to Years.
startView: 'years'
That does pretty much what you need.

Thanks Bob. I'll be sending a PM as a follow-up to this.
