Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to date & time entry widget
Hi David,
Looking back at it, what you are seeing is three widgets: one outputs a date entry fields, another the time entry fields, and the third the duration fields. I think this should basically work. I simplified it somewhat from what is actually at the link I gave you, but haven't tested the results. It's a start at the least, but let me know if you need more.
What this doesn't show you is how to process those fields. That's left as an exercise for the reader (for now at least.) The plus side, is that should make it easier for you to modify the widgets for 24 hour time.
There's an example at the end of the code block.
# a widget to specify a date
# used in /reserve/find rs_reservation_form
proc_doc rs_date_entry_widget {
db formdate startdate
} {
<pre>
Returns an html fragment for a date entry widget in a form.
All dates must be formatted: YYYY-MM-DD.
formdate contains the <i>default</i>, <i>selected</i> date for the form.
startdate is the earliest date that can be entered into the form.
</pre>
} {
set widget ""
# all dates are of the form yyyy-mm-dd
# form date is date to set form to
# start date is minimum date of form

# determine end year by examining target date and the "end date"
# (which may be less than start date!)

Returns an html fragment for a time entry widget
The minuteinterval represents the mininum number of minutes resolved
within the widget.
formtime contains the <i>default</i>, <i>selected</i> time for the form.
The time must be of the format: HH.MI.am where HH is a number from 1 to 12,
MI ranges from 0 to 59, and am can be either "am" or "pm".
