Thanks for the update. unfortunately its still not working with ie version 8, 7 and 6

yes to both of the above questions.

Awesome :). resolved.

actually one problem. if there is an error the page does not show it. it just looks like nothing happened. is there a way to fix that?

Thanks for helping me mikejolley.

you can mark this as resolved.

Thanks for the dirty solution. I am trying to get it working by using the enqueue the js script file but no luck.

here is the code for the js file

jQuery( "#_shift_date" ).datepicker( {
	minDate: 0,
	"dateFormat": 'yy-mm-dd'
} );

here is what I did to the wp-job-manager-master file

function form_fields( $fields ) {
	wp_enqueue_script( 'wp-job-manager-shift', '/assets/js/shiftdate.js', array( 'jquery', 'jquery-ui-datepicker' ), '1.0', true );
$fields[ 'job' ][ 'shift_date' ] = array(
			'label'       => __('Date Of Shift','wp-job-manager-shift'),
			'type'        => 'text',
			'placeholder' => __('yyyy-mm-dd','wp-job-manager-shift'),
			'required'    => false,
			'priority'    => 4.51
		);

		return $fields;
	}

I think i am missing something. Will try to read up some more.

Apologize for my non existent coding skills but I really appreciate you helping me fix this even though it feel outside the usual scope of support.

Thank you so much.

I thought the easiest way would be to just introduce a second field through the deadline plugin itself but that didnt work either

$fields['job']['job_date'] = array(
			'label'       => __( 'Shift date', 'job_manager_app_deadline' ),
			'type'        => 'text',
			'required'    => false,
			'placeholder' => __( 'yyyy-mm-dd', 'job_manager_app_deadline' ),
			'priority'    => "6.5"
		);

that introduced another field but still no drop down calender.

I really cannot figure out how you are linking the calender to the front end.

I have tried looking at the wp-job-manager-application-deadline plugin as well.

Need the calender to look the same but even with that I was only able to add a field, the dropdown calender didnt show up.
