sorry I meant the format mm/yyyy of course in the above.
Thank you Michael I take it this goes into the “Contact Form to DB Extension Settings?”
It is a fantastic plugin, very comprehensive and this was my only stumbling point.
I appreciate your help.
I think this would make the entry on the form as eg: 07/2009 if this is the case I still get the error, could you give some guidance if I am correct in putting the coding into the “Contact Form to DB Extension Settings?”
The settings in my WP Settings General for the date output is set at d/m/Y which gives an input of eg 26/06/2013 i set this the same in Contact settings but still get the error
Contact Form DB -> Options -> Use Custom Date-Time Display Format (below) = true
Contact Form DB -> Options -> Date-Time Display Format = m/Y
Hi Michael
Sorry to bother you but I checked this and it is set as you suggest without it working
The linkto the working page is http://eac.eu.com/newsite/join-eac/pre-accredited-member
the link to the Contact DB options is
http://eac.eu.com/newsite/wp-admin/admin.php?page=CF7DBPluginSettings
Is there something else that requires to be done?
I have a few application forms that require dates entered into the fields.
Many thanks for your patience so far.
The setting applies only to how the date in the “Submitted” field is displayed. Fields on your form that are dates are given to the plug as strings (not dates) in the format that the submitting form provides them.
To do what you want is more complicated. You would need to add a filter to change the date format using PHP.
HMM thanks for that Michael
Not too sure if I can handle this much complication though.
Your plug in gives the opportunity of creating a date tag in the drop down menu ‘Create a Tag’ are you saying that even though it does this you cannot use the field created to enter a date and have it sent as part of the email transmitted with all the other detail that is completed on the form?
If this is so I will have to do without collecting a date which important to us for renewals, etc. This would make the whole Contact form unusable for us which is a shame as I have created about 10 forms using the plug-in. Unless I collect the date as individual fields for month and year, if that works.
Have you any other ideas please.
thanks for taking time out to try to help it is appreciated.
To be clear, my plugin (CFDB) has nothing to do with drop down or tags you see in the form itself. It does not create forms. It just captures what is posted. So you might be better off looking at the plugin you use to create your form and see if that can create a date field in the format that you want. Then CFDB will simply capture it in that format.
That now makes sense Michael thanks for helping I will look at form creator which is contact form 7
Sorry
