Fields / Datepicker

Read More: Fieldmanager_Datepicker

Text fields that uses the jQuery UI Datepicker to allow the user to select a date from a calendar. Optionally adds fields for time.

  1. Example 1: Basic Datepicker

    add_action( 'fm_post_post', function() {
    	$fm = new Fieldmanager_Datepicker( array(
    		'name' => 'demo-field',
    	) );
    	$fm->add_meta_box( 'Datepicker Demo', array( 'post' ) );
    } );
  2. Example 2: Datepicker with Time

    add_action( 'fm_post_post', function() {
    	$fm = new Fieldmanager_Datepicker( array(
    		'name' => 'demo-field',
    		'use_time' => true,
    	) );
    	$fm->add_meta_box( 'Datepicker Demo', array( 'post' ) );
    } );
  3. Example 3: Datepicker Demo with Custom Date Format

    This example illustrates how to change the date format. Note that there are two options that need to be set:

    • date_format, which takes a PHP date format and controls how the data initially renders; and
    • dateFormat (a sub-option of js_opts), which takes a JS date format and controls how the data displays when someone selects a date from the datepicker.

    It's especially important to recognize that the actual formats are different. In the example code above, the dates will display identically.

    add_action( 'fm_post_post', function() {
    	$fm = new Fieldmanager_Datepicker( array(
    		'name' => 'demo-field',
    		'date_format' => 'Y-m-d',
    		'js_opts' => array(
    			'dateFormat' => 'yy-mm-dd',
    		),
    	) );
    	$fm->add_meta_box( 'Datepicker Demo', array( 'post' ) );
    } );
