Re: [EP-tech] Autofill date field button

In fact EPrints should come with the pop up calendar feature as standard, but it got lost in the Master/3.3 changeover.  I have put in a pull request to get the updated functionality in (but it may not be in a good state (a file from another edit got muddled in there), I’m just not sure if anyone has even looked at it).  But I use this in production and it’s good.

Ignore Extras.pm – that was something else.  I wasn’t able to change this at an archive level – I had to replace the Date.pm and Time.pm files in perl_lib to get it to work.  The JS and CSS files are fine in the Archive config though.

>(I talked them down from a calendar popup)

But why..?

The IRStats2 package (that it looks like you're already using) comes with a calendar date-picker - and even defaults to today!?

 

You could possibly even implement it using one phrase and one XHTML workflow field!

 

Does that help at all?

 

Cheers,

John

Subject: [EP-tech] Autofill date field button

 

Hi All,

 

I have been asked if it is possible to add a button to a date field within the workflow… to allow the field to be auto populated with the current date. (I talked them down from a calendar popup)

 

I don’t need the button for every date field rendered within the workflow, only this one particular instance…

 

Any thoughts would be appreciated before I start hacking things too badly ;)

 

 

Cheers

 

Matt.
