Calendar text field

Is the a popup calendar text field that when click you click a calendar popup a date you can select.

Hi @rklco, could you please ask the question again. Iā€™m guessing what you are asking because your grammar is all over the placeā€¦

He probably wants a date picker.

Letā€™s try this again. I need a field to go in the form section that is a date popup not just a field that you can type in a date. It canā€™t be a html code because it has to work with Sparkle form.

  • Add a Text Input field to your form

  • Change text (FORM VARIABLE) to date

  • Save and publish your webpage

  • Open the webpage in a plain text editor

  • Search for: <input type="text" name="date" class="input(number)">

  • Change it to: <input type="date" name="date" class="input(number)">

  • Save changes, open the webpage in your browser and test your date pickerā€¦

Thank you, Mart.
Iā€™ll make a note of it, too. :+1:

Hi Mart - Iā€™m new to all this website stuff. Can you walk through please, step by step, your comment in more detail regarding how to open the webpage in a plain text editor (ideally on MacOS). Iā€™ve done a google search without much success. Many thanks.

Hi @mbeemerboy, welcome onboard! :slight_smile:

When you sayā€¦ ā€œopen the webpage in a plain text editor (ideally on MacOS)ā€ are you asking about when you Preview your Sparkle project in Safari?

If you are asking to view the Sparkle canvas in a text editor, well that is not possible.
Sparkle generates the code on the fly when you Preview, save to disc, and when you Publish.

Hi @rklco, try this!

Insert a ā€˜text inputā€™ field from the navigations and forms section of the menu. In the right hand side menu, click ā€˜Require dateā€™ under the validation section. Preview in your browser. When you click in the form box, a popup calendar will appear so you can enter your own date.

Is that what you are looking for?
