Hi,

I often use calendar in joomla-classic-content.
The calendar (datepicker) of Joomla is really user-friendly.

In Seblod...it's a different story.
Change time, choose AM or PM and after click date.
Impossible to change the number manually with my keyboard...

Too long to use it !
Sometines, I have to try several times to enter the exact date and time what I want...

How to have a better datepicker ?
Like this for example : http://xdsoft.net/jqplugins/datetimepicker/

If you are familiar with PHP you could take the calendar field plugin and adjust it to your needs with a different datepicker.

If you change the default calendar field setting for "Text input" from read only to enabled, you can type in the field.

Hi gebeer, 

Thank you for your answer.


" If you are familiar with PHP you could take the calendar field plugin and adjust it to your needs with a different datepicker. "

Yep, I think I can do that, but where... in backend ? or in PHP file ?


" from read only to enabled "

Great tips !!!

Hi,


You can use the SEBLOD Developer which will create a plugin template.  Then from there, you can add the code you need to create a new plugin.


Hope that helps

You can have a look at folder /plugins/cck_field/calendar. That is the code for the calendar field.

Yes I found this folder.
But, if I update Seblod, it's erase it ?

I will try with SEBLOD Developer ;)

Hi,

As i'm working with UIkit Framework i'm using the Uikit DatePicker on a text field. Works great !

That's the attribute i use in the custom attributes (for the french calendar) :

placeholder="Date de début" data-uk-datepicker="{format:'YYYY-MM-DD',i18n:{months:['Janvier','Février','Mars','Avril','Mai','Juin','Juillet','Août','Septembre','Octobre','Novembre','Décembre'],weekdays:['Dim','Lun','Mar','Mer','Jeu','Ven','Sam']}}"

More info here for those who also use Uikit : http://getuikit.com/docs/datepicker.html
