Hi,

After duplicating the simple_select.php template of the date-time field, I'm not able to save any date with the copied template. No errors are shown and the date remains empty.

Best regards,

Jeff

Do you have error reporting on and debug mode on?

I see. This is bad. it tells that you cannot create custom input templates without hack in field PHP file. Unfortunately it is binded to templates very tightly.

:( All I want is to alter the simple select date field, so I can choose a year beyond 1934. The current limit is 80 years.

Maybe you could add a date range input field /selector to the default simple select date field settings?

IMHO it would make the simple select field more adaptable to certain scenarios.

Hope you can help...

I made some changes. In next version you will be able to add it. The rule will be name should start with simple_select*.php
