Datetime field use

Brian,

by default there is no "limitation" feature on the input.

To solve this problem, you might have to modify one of the input templates and include a validation there.

Yes this field haven't limitations.

Thanks. I have got it working. You need to change the following code in multiple date range input field. For those who needs to change, here is the code:

<?php

$format_js = '%Y-%m-%d';

if ($this->params->get('params.time', 0))

    $format_js .= ' %H:%M';

<div class="default_dates" id="field_container<?php echo $this->id;?>">

</a>

<script type="text/javascript">

var start_date = new Date();

    toggle: $('date_toggle<?php echo $this->id;?>'),

    timePicker: <?php echo $this->params->get('params.time', 0);?>,

    columns: <?php echo $this->params->get('params.columns', 2);?>,

    positionOffset: {x: 5, y: 0},

    format: '<?php echo $this->format;?>',

    minDate: start_date,

    onSelect: function (date)

    {

        var formatted = date.format_php(this.options.format);

        var hidden = date.format('<?php echo $format_js;?>');

        id = '<?php echo $this->id;?>-' + hidden;

        out = '<a class="close" data-dismiss="alert" href="#">x</a>' + formatted +

            '<input type="hidden" name="jform[fields][<?php echo $this->id;?>][]" value="' + hidden + '" />';

        out = '<div id="date'+ id+'" class="alert alert-info">'+out+'</div>';

        $('field_container<?php echo $this->id;?>').set('html', out);

        lastid = <?php echo $this->id;?>;

    }

});

</script>

BTW, wouldn't it make sense to have an optional validation for all fields? Something that can be turned on/off with pre-made validations, maybe extendable with custom script.

ya I would love to have that too. But this is something for Sergey to think of.
