hi there… i am very new to this yii framework…

i have some problems in making forms… i created forms in CRUD generator and the results are i have all text fill in forms… i want to change some text field forms to date pickers form but i’ve failed to do so…

here are my codings;




	<div class="row">

		<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'PROG_ENDDATE'); ?>

		<?php echo $form->textField($model,'PROG_ENDDATE'); ?> //i want to change this into date picker.. please help 

		<?php echo $form->error($model,'PROG_ENDDATE'); ?>

	</div>

thank you in advance…

take a look at this page please:

yii\jui\DatePicker

So, you’ll end up with something like this:




	<div class="row">

		<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'PROG_ENDDATE'); ?>

                <?php echo DatePicker::widget(['model' => $model,'attribute' => 'PROG_ENDDATE',]); ?>

		<?php echo $form->error($model,'PROG_ENDDATE'); ?>

	</div>

Um… sorry, if you’re on yii1.*, you should follow this link:

CJuiDatePicker

But I(and many others, you know) would strongly recomend you to start with yii2.

Thank you for your help…

now the problem is, when i save the date, it does not appear in my view… it says ‘not set’…

this is my coding




	<div class="row">

		<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'PROG_STARTDATE'); ?>

		<?php echo $form->textField($model,'PROG_STARTDATE'); ?>

		<?php

		$this->widget('zii.widgets.jui.CJuiDatePicker',array(

    'name'=>'PROG_STARTDATE',

    // additional javascript options for the date picker plugin

    'options'=>array(

        'showAnim'=>'fold',

		'dateFormat'=>'dd-mm-yy',

		),

		'htmlOptions'=>array(

			'style'=>'height:20px;'

		),

	));

the date i want does not appear in my database too…

Hi,

I think the problem happens because the date’s format is different:

  • mysql: y-m-d;

  • CJuiDatePicker: dd-mm-yy;

This behavior can help you: http://www.yiiframework.com/extension/i18n-datetime-behavior/

yes thank you… i have changed it :D thank you so much…

these are my codings in form.php




		<?php echo $form->textField($model,'PROG_ENDDATE'); ?>

		<?php

	//in _form.php

			$this->widget('zii.widgets.jui.CJuiDatePicker', array(

			'name' => 'PROG_ENDDATE',

			'attribute' => 'PROG_ENDDATE',

			'model'=>$model,

			'options'=> array(

			'showAnim' => 'fadeIn',

			'dateFormat' =>'dd-mm-yy',

			'changeMonth' => true,

			'changeYear' => true,

			),

			))

	?>

and the other one at ../model/ folder




			//in model (e.g Program)

		public function beforeSave()

		{

		$this->PROG_STARTDATE = date("Y-m-d", strtotime($this->PROG_STARTDATE));	

		$this->PROG_ENDDATE = date("Y-m-d", strtotime($this->PROG_ENDDATE));

		$this->PROG_SUBMITDATE = date("Y-m-d", strtotime($this->PROG_SUBMITDATE));

		return parent::beforeSave();

		

		}
