Calendarfield in registration form?

**davidn** · 07/03/2009, 13:18

Hi,

I really like the datepicker in the Typolight offers in the backend. I like to use it in the frontend es-well because people get confuses easily when submitting the form doesn't go well. Calendarfield offers this option but I would like to know if there is a way to also use calendarfield in the standard forms like the registration form?

Thank you!

Are you talking about the dateOfBirth field?

install the calendarfield extension and add the following lines to system/config/dcaconfig.php

Code:

$GLOBALS['TL_DCA']['tl_member']['fields']['dateOfBirth']['inputType'] = 'calendar';
// this can be 0, -1, 1:
/**
* 0: 'Allow all dates';
* 1: 'Only dates in the future';
* -1: 'Only dates in the past';
*/
$GLOBALS['TL_DCA']['tl_member']['fields']['dateOfBirth']['eval']['dateDirection'] = "-1";

EDIT:
added the second line, if missing a javascript error will be thrown
