Re: DB_DO_FormBuilder - date field as a jscalendar!

That's pretty cool! However, it's pretty much still in it's infancy and has problems with IE. The website even recommends going to Dynarch for another option. Dynarch is the source for jscalendar. The method that I hacked together works. It just would be nice to have it be more polished. As I know many of programmers here have the skills to take it to that level.

I had to hack together a quickform element.

Another way to do this is to use unobstrusive javascript. The idea being that you create a normal input, and javascript comes behind the scenes to add the datapicker - it means your form logic is free from your widget logic. You can find a nice datepicker that does this here : http://www.frequency-decoder.com/٢٠٠٥/١٠/١٤/unobtrusive-date-picker-widgit/ With FormBuilder and the mentioned date picker, you could add the following to your DB_DataObject : $fb_elementTypeAttribute = array('date' => array('class' => 'format-d-m-y')); $fb_elementTypeMap = array('date' => 'HTML_QuickForm_Text'); And include the datepicker javascript in your html file. I haven't tested this yet (I am planning too!) so there might be some unexpected problems (let us know if there are!) but otherwise, it should just work this way.
