problem with max date of calendar / newbie

13 May, 2008 - 19:50 — xmvcnr

well, i have backbase up and running.

i am using this btl tag:

<b:calendar name="somedate"  format="yyyyMMdd" max="20080601"/>

i am trying to get it to have a maximum allowed date of june 1st 2008.

the above code produces what looks like an input box; when you click in the input box, a calendar pops up, and you can click around and when you click on a date, the date populates the input box and the calendar closes.

however the max functionality doesn't seem to be working. what is it supposed to do? could it "shade out" or discolor dates past the max date? or not allow people to scroll forward past the month containing the maximum allowed date? the above max value seems to have no effect. (when i click for example on july 4, the box gets populated by 20080704).

thanks!

Hi ,

Could you try this max="2008-12-30" ? I found out the max date only works on that date format (using minus ).

calendar max date problem

thanks. but it does not seem to fully work. i have:

<b:calendar format="yyyy-MM-dd" max="2008-10-10" />

-if i page forward, using the month arrows, to october 2008, i can click on any date within october, and it will fill the form. it is supposed to only let me click on up to october 10th.

-if i page forward to any month (for example november 2008 or february 2009, i can click on blue areas beyond the currently displayed month. (for example if i am on the feb 2009 page, i can click on the mar 1 2009 because it is shaded blue/ beyond the currently displayed month.))

-admittedly, if i page forward, using ONLY the month arrows, to a month BEYOND october, AND click on a WHITE date in the currently displayed month (NOT a blue date in the following month) i (correctly) cannot click on dates. but that is not fully functional it doesn't seem?

-i have rangeFormField.xml and calendarBase.xml seeming to load OK. do i need anything else?

Hi,
The reference clearly states that you should use yyyy/MM/dd format.
There are problems with max in the 4.2.0 release, but we hope to have these fixed in the 4.2.1 release, which will be available soon. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Cheers, Ghica.
