Hello,

If you're using RSform!, unfortunately, this feature is not available (all calendars are 'flat' when configured).
With RSform! Pro, you have the ability to setup your calendar as either 'flat' or 'popup'.

Hi,

I am new to this component and trying to figure out a way to add date field with a calendar, similar to any reservation form at travel site. Field Type 'Calendar' is placing a open calendar, instead of a text field with calendar icon.

Thanks<br><br>Post edited by: kaushik.mazumdar, at: 2008/11/05 21:54

Hello,

A link to the form that causes this problem with be very useful.

Great advice above. I successfully pre-filled the field with the necessary date, but how can I enable the calendar to also popup with the necessary date (March 13, 2009)? The calendar defaults to the current day.

With some more complex forms and a number of more than 20 fields, we realised that the display of the HTML forms page is very very slow indeed on IE 6 and IE7. (Wait time of up to 30 seconds compared to less than 2 secs on other platforms)

On all other browsers and platforms there is no speed loss.

When we deleted all 4 Calendar input fields, the speed was much better but not yet good.
It must have to do with Calender Javascript / Function together with IE functionality. Firefox debugger...

Thanks this has helped me also. I too am using the pop-up calendar for a Date of Birth field and moving the calendar by year would be beneficial for sure!

Many thanks,
Ryan

Hello,

This is a known bug generated by Internet Explorer 6 only. The main issue is the calendar's javascript. We've fixed this in the latest revision, but some isolated cases still remain (since IE6 has ended its development cycle, every case is solved differently).
If you want to understand more why this error is produced, you can check out this blog post:

OK, I eat my words. I was thinking of a third party calendar module. Not the actual calendar within the form. I turned it off and the form works perfectly. I turned on Captcha and it seems to work fine with that on.

So, not having a calendar isn't a deal breaker. Since I love this form tool. Purchasing license in the morning.

One comment though. If it can be fixed to work with calendar some day that would be cool!

Perfect advice! Since I am not fluent in Javascript I appreciate this support. Works perfect now.
Maybe this could be an option for a date field type.
Then the calendar has no option to jump year by year. If one person has to enter his birthdate, the calender option is not suitable. It should be possible to jump in one year intervalls, not just month intervalls.

Thank you for such a great component.
With regards
Rolf

Hello,

Disable the autogenerate layout feature from the Form Layout tab. After that, paste this code at the end of the layout:...

Hello,

Thank you for your suggestion, it has been forwarded to the project manager and will be taken into consideration. However, the new RSTickets! revision is already scheduled for next week.

YES! that would be perfect!

Put the following code in the Script tab, on form process:

if(isset($_POST)){
$date = explode('.',$_POST);
$_POST = $date[2] . '-' . $date[1] . '-' . $date[0];
}

where Contactdate is the RSFormsPro calendar field.
This field are set to display dd.mm.yyyy and in the backend it will now be saved as YYYY-mm-dd

It works, and correcte date are saved to MySql

Don't touch to the Submissions Value with mapping. If you change it, you will not have the good information for display data in front end.

Just insert a field into Submission_values
If you add a field to have date with popup calendar, it will be write in text and not in date. So there is no differences for mysql because the format is not register as date, but as texte.<br><br>Post edited by: dragonjc, at: 2008/09/18 07:01

Let me see if I can iterate this properly:

1. Table created in MySQL with a field name of Date_submitted with the data-type of DATE. MySQL's DATE datatype format is YYYY-MM-DD.
2. Created a RSForm Pro form with Pop-up calendar field to display as dd-mm-yy (or mm-dd-yy)
3. Created a data mapping in RSForm Pro to the MySQL table.

The problem is the RSForm mapping does not write to MySQL's format of YYYY-MM-DD, so nothing is written to the table.
