Date Time field was created by tayling
Hi
I am workign on a rental site where I need my forms to have a pickup and dropoff date - is there a way I can create a date / time field or a time field?
Thanks for your help

Hi Tony,

sorry put at the moment Visforms support only date fields not date/time or time.
The only possibility would be to create a text field, where the user inserts the time manually, and to write a custom validation for this field that checks for valide time format.

Can you give an example on how you would do a VALIDATION of a time format in a text field?

Please let us know:
1. text Field
- how to 'force' it to be entered as hh:mm

2. number / calculation field
- how to CONVERT that text field into number field to then use in a calculation

Hi,

1. a Regex-Validation for hh:mm would be
Code:
^(0[0-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-3]|[0-9]):[0-5][0-9]$

See: stackoverflow.com/questions/7536755/regu...ing-hhmm-time-format

2. But, due to the very save way the calculation is implemented in visForms, it is not possible to CONVERT this value into an integer, so it can be used in a calculation.

This is, because the caluclation, calculates completely separate on the sever (with php) and in the browser (with javascript) and although it would be possible to add javascript for the browser part, it is not possible to modify the server side php code, which is located in a not overwrittable section.

Thank you so much for your response.

What is the likelyhood that you would add TIME as a field time to your fields? I see you have done it with dates, so you can add days, etc.

thanks,

Hi,

sorry, but at the moment the likelyhood is very low.
