I’m running into the same situation. What seems to be happening is that the date picker expects each of its instances to be unique. However, in quick edit, this isn’t the case. The post row is unique, but the edit form is shared by all of the posts. As such, date picker doesn’t pick and push the data back.
Now, have you been able to overcome this?
Date picker does work in bulk edit though.
I just spent several hours grappling with this, but I found the solution (Michael’s comment about unique datepicker instances set me on the right path)!
First, what I was doing wrong: I was outputting the JS call to datepicker() in the callback attached to WP’s quick_edit_custom_box action.
The solution is to output it in the re-definition of inlineEditPost.edit()!
In other words, do something like this:
add_action ('quick_edit_custom_box', 'add_quickedit_field', 10, 2) ;
add_action ('admin_footer-edit.php', 'quick_edit') ;
function
add_quickedit_field ($name, $type)
{
?>
<fieldset class='inline-edit-col-right'>
<div class='inline-edit-col'>
<label>
<span class='title'>My Datepicker Field</span>
<span class='input-text-wrap'>
<input type='text' name='<?php echo $name ?>' />
</span>
</label>
</div>
</fieldset>
<?php
return ;
}
function
quick_edit ()
{
?>
<script type='text/javascript'>
function
My_QuickEdit ()
{
var _edit = inlineEditPost.edit ;
inlineEditPost.edit = function (id) {
var args = [].slice.call (arguments) ;
_edit.apply (this, args) ;
if (typeof (id) == 'object') {
id = this.getId (id) ;
}
if (this.type == 'post' || this.type == 'page') {
// editRow is the quick-edit row, containing the inputs that need to be updated
var editRow = jQuery ('#edit-' + id) ;
// postRow is the row shown when the custom post isn't being edited, which also holds the existing values.
var postRow = jQuery ('#post-' + id) ;
// get the current value
var value = jQuery ('td.fieldName', postRow).text () ;
// set the value in the quick-editor
jQuery (':input[name="fieldName"]', editRow).val (value) ;
// attached the datepicker
// be sure to set the value before calling datepicker()
jQuery (':input[name="fieldName"]', editRow).datepicker () ;
}
} ;
return ;
}
</script>
<?php
return ;
}
Note: the above code is HIGHLY edited from what I got working in my own plugin, and I haven’t tested it in this form…so if it doesn’t work, it should at least give you the idea of what needs to be done.
