Hi everyone,

I need your help for creating date_popup field in a form programmatically.

Here is the array i use (i simplified it/deleted some parameters like #format) :

	'profil_date' => array(
	  '#type' => 'date_popup', 
	  '#title' => t('Date de naissance'),   
	),

And it doesn't work. With date_select or date_text, no problem, but not with date_popup.

I found this snippet, which works, but i'm not able to use any parameters (format or date_year_range) with the created field.

I can't find out why it's not working, because my popups calendar are working perfectly everywhere else on my website.

For example, if I use kpr($form) on a view wich has a popup calendar date filter, here is what I obtain :


min (Array, 8 elements)

#type (String, 10 characters ) date_popup
#title (String, 8 characters ) Entre le
#size (Integer) 20
#default_value (String, 19 characters ) 2011-02-17 18:34:36
#date_format (String, 5 characters ) d/m/y
#date_label_position (String, 6 characters ) within
#date_year_range (String, 5 characters ) -3:+3
#force_value (Boolean) TRUE

So the type of the field is "date_popup" ! And not "textfield" as in the working snippet...

How can I use "date_popup" ?
Is that related to a jQuery issue ?

I think i'm just missing some .js file(s), but I wish you could guide me in the right direction.

Thanks everyone !

Matthieu

Hi,

You can do this by implementing a hook_form_alter where you put following code:

$form['date'] = array(
        '#type' => 'date_popup',
        '#title' => t('Date'),
        '#date_format' => 'd/m/Y',
        '#weight' => 1
      );

I think this is what you need, right?
