Hello,

1. Yes, you can use placeholders in all the email fields (subject, text, from, to) like {service} {date}
2. RSform! has a calendar field that enables you to choose the date.
3. There are validation rules such as Email, Mandatory, Alpha, Alphanumeric
4. This can be done, but you need a bit of javascript knowledge.

I am looking for a new form component and need the following features - will RS Forms do the job for me?

1. Use form data in the email subject line. E.g. one field confirms the type of service required and one confirms the date of the booking, the subject should be in the format \"Website enquiry: [SERVICE] ([DATE]) - can RS Forms do this?
2. Date validation or selection from a calendar
3. Required fields with error handling
4. Display required fields based on prior input. E.g. If a particular service is selected...

Hi, I just downloaded the trial version 1.0.4 and installed it. I have just set up a form with a field using the Calendar field type. The problem is that the field does not show on the form, the Field Title shows but there is no Calendar Input field next to it. All the other field types display ok.
I really need to have a calendar. Any ideas what is going wrong?

Or am I being stupid and the calander does not work because I am running it on my localhost at the moment without an internet...

Great!
Worked like a charm.
Thank you for a fantastic product.

Hi Gardar,

unfortunately the calendar syntax does not work in this version. Anyhow, if you wish to change it please do this(it's a bit complicated and i promise i'll fix it for the next version):

Edit your form, and go to the Scritps tab. In the Scripts called on form process: add this code:Replace yourcalid with whatever your field id is, and replace 'd/m/Y'...

Hi,

I'm trying to change the date format putting the following into the Default Value field for the Calendar:

d/M/y

But it doesn't work, the date format sent via the form is still m/d/y.

What am I missing?
Is there a prefix in front of the field text?
What is the exact syntax?
How do I make the form output d/M/y ?

Regards,
Gardar

Hello there,

the new 1.0.4 uses Yahoo! based calendar which can be easily customized to support multi-language settings. I will prepare a tutorial shortly on how to configure the calendar in multi-language format.

localization and UTF-8 problem | why not JScalendar option?

In the recent weeks i stumbled about a problem with forms and the calendar popup (datepicker) in serveral joomla form components.

joomla and other form components use two different JS scripts.
IMHO a real problem. The simple \"calendar\" is only avail in (one) english version, and does not handle any special characters (i tried serveral methods with different codings, all resulted in \"garbage\" or a script error...

Thanks for your answer Alex, I hope we will find a good solution that is useful for other people as well. Thus I will try to explain briefly what I am looking for:

I am using an extension to Joomla that provides a calendar (JCal Pro) where we store brief descriptions of events and training courses. Every one of these events or courses has also a link that leads to a registration form (built of course with forme).

Besides name, address etc, the registration form also presents some alternatives...

Hi,

First of all, thank you for the great component and a very nice looking and supportive website (good look is surprisingly rare among developers)

I have a question, how to add a form to a particular component's html.php so it appears on every page automatically without using a mambot?

For example Hot Property... there is a standard contact form which is not possible to enhance with calendars or anything else. It looks like this

<div id=\"hp_emailform_con\">
<?php...

I had a similar issue with the calendar since we use Swedish. Here are some hints:

1) There are two DIFFERENT calendar packages that have to be translated on the basic Joomla 1.012. The first is provided for backward compatibility purposes. Its easy to translate both since they are small files. Start by looking for:
1a) /includes/js/calendar/lang/calendar-en.js
1b) /includes/js/jscalendar-1.0/lang/calendar-es.js
Create two new language files called for instance calendar-pt.js
Remember to...

Yes, i posted that issue of the main forums also, but no one gave me an answer yet...

Hello to all,

only small hint.
Opera/jsCalander problem, I think, on Joomla side.
I find this bug few days ago.
Simply test. Open any content, go to Publishing tab end test it to change, for example Override Created Date in Opera.
The calendar show, but you can't change date with mouse click.
Very interesant - you can change by arrow keys and confirm with Enter!

Only FYI, Alex.
