I’m going to try once again by replacing
‘image’=>’/images/icons/calendar_view_month.gif’
by
‘image’=>’”/images/icons/calendar_view_month.gif”‘

Tricky business

@Ruthy: there is a problem with the quotation marks…
use this:
new sfWidgetFormDate(array(’format’=>’%day%/%month%/%year%’,));

@all: no matter what I do, my date picker does not show up. any suggestions?

The format string like discribed above is not working in my case. If i do insert the string:
new sfWidgetFormJQueryDate(array(
‘image’ => ‘images/icons/calendar_view_month.gif’,
‘date_widget’ => new sfWidgetFormDate(array(’format’=>’%day%/%month%/%year%’))
))

I always get the fallowing error:

sfWidgetFormJQueryDate does not support the following options: ‘0′.

Anyone any idea ?

“…Just a quick note: if you want to localize the UI, you will have to manually include your language file (download from http://jquery-ui.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ui/i18n/ )
to make this work…”

Where should I put language jquery.ui.datepicker-.js file? It doesn’t work yet.

Just a tip for those who instal sfFormExtraPlugin manually (but downloading and putting in the plugins folder) it HAS to be named “sfFormExtraPlugin” - I just put a copy in called “sfFormExtraPlugin-1.1.1″ and it’s not loaded…

This a useful post, thanks.

One thing I found with it was that the code given above fails with a change to the plugin (it now extends sfWidgetForm rather than sfWidgetFormDate).

You have:

new sfWidgetFormJQueryDate(array(
‘image’=>’/images/icons/calendar_view_month.gif’,
‘format’ => ‘%day%/%month%/%year%’)
),

The ‘format’ option doesn’t work (and indeed causes an uncaught exception. Instead, you need to pass the widget a normal sfWidgetFormInputDate:

new sfWidgetFormJQueryDate(array(
‘image’ => ‘images/icons/calendar_view_month.gif’,
‘date_widget’ => new sfWidgetFormDate(array(’format’=>’%day%/%month%/%year%’))
))

Hi,

that’s a great tip, but :
- How can i get the “real web path” for the image tag…
When i put ‘calendar.gif’ , or ‘images/calendar.gif’ , or ‘/images/calendar.gif’, the path is never correct, when
image_tag(’calendar.gif’) is working correctly.
