What do you have in the Form field?
Hi,
I’ve also noticed this problem. Initially I was too busy to deal with it and, as most people ‘behave’ and read where the information says ‘required’,and enter the information, I wasn’t sure when it started.
However, today I deliberately did a test and all the dates and times are ignoring the required asterisk.
I use the following plugins:
Akismet
Contact Form 7 Datepicker
Easy WP SMTP
Enhanced Admin Bar with Codex Search
Gallery Carousel Without JetPack
TablePress
Widget Logic
Examples of the code I have for the Form fields are below:
Arrival Time (required) – Arrival only after 20:00 on Fridays
(The time can be entered by using the slider OR just type the time in eg 13:00)
[time* arrival-time time-format:HH:mm placeholder “20:00”]
Date of Departure (required)
[date* departure-date date-format:dd/mm/yy]
Thank you 🙂
PS I should apologise that I didn’t read the other comment thoroughly. I’ve just noticed the link to another forum message and had a read of that as well, but my problem doesn’t seem to be the same as that one…… or I don’t think so!
If it helps at all, all the following work fine:
[text* first-name]
[tel* telephone id:telephone]
[email* your-email]
[select* adult-campers include_blank “1-5” “6-10” “11-15” “16-20” “More than 20” “Not sure yet”]
you bring me to an idea… what is, if we use a simple [text* time] and add the time & date picker functionality with external script instead of the timepicker plugun of CF7 ? maybe this should be work… but not sure – must be tested
Good idea fresh-x
I must admit, most of the people using my contact form are pretty good at noticing where I say ‘required’ in the comments and entering data! Whilst, I’d love to play around to get your idea to work, I look after my site as a volunteer (it’s a Scout campsite booking form) and I’m really busy with ‘real’ work at the moment!
I had a brief moment of time this morning to test out what was going wrong! I’ve had a couple of people forget to enter times and it has been niggling at me to try to see what was wrong 🙂
As it is, I’ve found that people don’t like the ‘Choose Time’ slider (I’ve had a lot of contact from people saying they can’t figure out how to use it!!) so turning that into a text field has its attractions and will solve that problem!
It’s an odd bug though!
