  • Hi, someone needs to look into this, a bit messy it is.

    Yes, i read the story about the calendar feature not showing in all browsers, but as i test it in SeaMonkey / Firefox i constantly get the error message “Das Datumsformat scheint ungültig zu sein.”
    In other words, the date format seems invalid. I have tried any variety, from yyyy.mm.dd to dd/mm/yyyy and everything in between. This must be an error that creeped in during some recent update because nobody had complaint about it not working a long time ago. What’s wrong??
    In chrome on Android it looks great with a nicely designed 1-month at the time calendar popping up, in Chrome on Windows the calendar pops up too, just not in FF or SM apparently, so, is there a fix for this or is this date field actually useless for a site like mine??

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Thanks Takayuki.
    I have now tried some of the variables you describe at the date field page.

    But ….
    1. the min and max dates as in
    [date* FerienstudioAbreise id:FeSt-Abreisedatum your-date class:y2008 class:m01 class:d01 min:2017-01-01 max:2043-12-31 step:7]
    is a weird solution because at some point in time the max date will have to be manually changed, in my case i set it so far in the future i am probably dead by then, isn’t there a way to just set max date to infinite or so??
    2. at my form’s front end http://ferienwohnungen.lapalma-elparaiso.eu/home/finca-gabriela-das-ferien-studio/
    i still get “tt.mm.jjjj” as watermark date entry default, did i make a mistake in the code – well, actually the popup calendar in Chrome is now no longer working right, also not with just
    [date* FerienstudioAbreise id:FeSt-Abreisedatum your-date min:2017-01-01 max:2043-12-31 step:7]

    I am a bit clueless here, what is still wrong??

    What do you have in the Form tab now?

    I replaced the date field with simple text fields instead for the time being (meaning until i know how i can do the date field and have it work flawlessly in all browsers) Takayuki.

    I think that entry “step:7” caused the calendar showing in Chrome to enable only the 7th day in each row to be selectable.

    Unfortunately the instructions are a bit sketchy on your page, meaning it is probably all clear and logical to you since you know this stuff very well, but to the average Joe or Jill with little understanding of PHP server side functions and how to correctly call them so it works in all browsers it’s to short to grasp.
