[pmwiki-users] Default date in input field?

[Knut Alboldt]

Hi Mark !

I just did a pmwiki-warpper using the javascript datepicker-solution of 
Julian Robichaux.

Well to your questions:

1) YOu could use
|| '''Date: '''||(:input text value={(ftime %Y%m%d)} $:duedate
size=10:) %navy%[-'''YYYYMMDD'''-]%% (:datepicker field=duedate 
format='Ymd' button=today:)

The datepicker will not replace the date field but put a icon beside it 
for the user to select a calendar where he/she can pick a date. The 
selected value will be placed into the specified field (you have to use 
field=pvt_duedate when you use a fox-template). I see, my description is 
a bit incomplete showing the samples, I skipped the (:input..:) markup 
in the samples (updated the cookbook text now, please have a look).
So the simplest call (within a table) would be:

||Date: ||(:input text duedate:) (:datepicker field=duedate:) ||

or within a fox-template:

||Date: ||(:input text $:duedate:) (:datepicker field=ptv_duedate:) ||

2) Yes, the style (incl. color) of all of the elements generated by the 
javascript could be changed configuring the css-file (or use a copy of 
that file, change the ccs there and define it as the "new" css-file using

# Style of datepicker-box can be changed in these files:
  $DatepickerCSS = 'datepicker-mystyles.css';

in your config-file before including the datepicker-receipe
If you need help to determine the elements just let me know.
