Hi,

I am trying to fill a date field determined by another date field and a text box. So there is a commencement date (the actual calendar picker field), a textbox for number of weeks and a completion date. I want the completion date to be automatically created when the commencement date is filled in and the completion date would be x weeks after the commencement date. Any Ideas?

Also what is the code to hide form fields on load?

Thanks,

Jamie.

Would also be interested in getting code for current date to automatically fill a Textbox.

Regards.

This may answer "thevisionboard"s question but probably won't help the original poster. Sorry!

To fill in a date I created a text box named Date and put the following code into Default value:
//<code>
$today = date("F j, Y");
return $today;
//</code>

I didn't write this code, but found it somewhere on the forum a while ago. I only need "current date" on my forms so this works for me.

Have you had any luck with this? When I put this code in as my "default value" then the code itsself is simply displayed as the default value.

Hi,
I use the code (posted above) on a number of forms (all done with v36). Here's a link to one that does display the date
nemgtr.org/index.php?option=com_content&...le&id=240&Itemid=270
I have access to v42 on another system so I think I'll try it there also.
I'm not a programmer so if it doesn't work, not sure what I'll do. The code was in an old post on the forum and when I find something interesting, I snag it and put it in a word doc to use later.

I'll post again after trying on the latest version.

Hello again,
I tried the code on both v41 and v42 and they work. So if you'd like a copy of the code in a form, send an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and I'll send along a backup of the form so you can restore it and see what happens.
