Defaults for the Datepicker

[grahame]

Hi

When specifying a date field when creating an Internal Form the date picker only offers dates going back 10 years? Since I want a date-of-birth field how can I alter this behaviour please? I did find this thread:

but it did not appear to work for me?

Thanks

Hi

I still need help with this please. The Date field I have does not appear to use the Datepicker as described in thread 2217. In fact, the page with the date widget is rendered thus:-

Code:

<input type="input" name="respondent_selection" id="respondent_selection_id"
    class="cf_datefield cf_datepicker" value="" /><img class="ui-datepicker-trigger" src="http://consideredresponse.netai.net/formtools/global/images/calendar.png" id="respondent_selection_icon_id" />
  <input type="hidden" id="respondent_selection_format" value="yy-mm-dd" />

I have looked everywhere for this... css sheets, scripts, php and the field setting tables in MySQL..... I am at a loss?

How do I change the range of years for this please???

Hey Grahame,

This is the script that we use for the data picker: http://trentrichardson.com/examples/timepicker/

Here are more details on formatting the date: http://api.jqueryui.com/datepicker/

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Joe

Thanks for the update Joe.

Actually, I may have been victim to Safari's cache?.... I have rebuilt my site and amended the year range again (i.e. the script parameters as in thread 2217). As if by magic, I now get the specified range of years. The only thing I think I have done differently is to clear Safari's cache.

Thanks again.

Hi, I got mine to work but I had to change BOTH js files found here:

formtools/mysite/themes/default/scripts/jquery-ui-1.8.6.custom.min.js
AND
formtools/mysite/themes/default/scripts/jquery-ui.js

Change yearRange:"c-10:c+10" to yearRange:"c-100:c"
in both files. Hope this helps.
