Increase date range on dropdown

Hi bgermann!

I don’t understand exactly, what else I have to do to get the year range work.

As suggested by you, I added the key ‘yearRange’ => ‘2000:2050‘ in the file lib_functions.php.

But after saving this edit, I can’t load my site anymore.
So, do I have to enter somewhere else something more?

Thank you in advance about a timely response!

I’m also using this hard-coded year-range in the lib_functions.php and in former versions in the cforms.php.
It’s working well, but after each update of cforms it has to be hard-coded again.
Would it be possible to add these parameters to the global datepicker settings in the admin menu?
Thanks, Oliver!

I made some changes in the cforms-global-settings.php and the lib_functions.php to:
– Enable month selection drop down in global settings
– Set the datepickers year range in the global settings
– Set the year which is shown first when the datepicher pops up

I think it would be great to add these changes to the next cforms version!

Here are the changes:
in the lib_functions.php:
added this lines after line 171:

'changeMonth'      => $nav[7]==1,
'yearRange'        => stripslashes($nav[8]),
'defaultDate'      => stripslashes($nav[9]),

in the cforms-global-settings.php:
added this lines after line 89:

$nav[7]=cforms2_get_boolean_from_request('cforms_dp_Mbuttons');
$nav[8]=cforms2_get_from_request('cforms_dp_yearrange');
$nav[9]=cforms2_get_from_request('cforms_dp_popupyear');

and this code after line 255:

<tr class="ob">
<?php $nav = $cformsSettings['global']['cforms_dp_nav']; ?>
<td class="obL"></td>
<td class="obR"><input class="allchk" type="checkbox" id="cforms_dp_Mbuttons" name="cforms_dp_Mbuttons" <?php if($nav[7]=="1") echo "checked=\"checked\""; ?>/><label for="cforms_dp_Mbuttons"><strong><?php _e('Enable month selection drop down', 'cforms2') ?></strong></label></td>
</tr>
<tr class="ob">
<td class="obL"><label for="cforms_dp_yearrange"><strong><?php _e('Yearrange', 'cforms2'); ?></strong></label></td>
<td class="obR"><input type="text" id="cforms_dp_yearrange" name="cforms_dp_yearrange" value="<?php echo stripslashes(htmlspecialchars( $nav[8] )); ?>"/></td>
</tr>
<tr class="ob">
<td class="obL"><label for="cforms_dp_popupyear"><strong><?php _e('PopUpYear', 'cforms2'); ?></strong></label></td>
<td class="obR"><input type="text" id="cforms_dp_popupyear" name="cforms_dp_popupyear" value="<?php echo stripslashes(htmlspecialchars( $nav[9] )); ?>"/></td>
</tr>

Thanks for the update in the new cforms version 14.12,
but how do I use more than one option?
One works well but two or more not:

Could you please give me a hint how to seperate the options, I tried a lot but unfortunately without success.

{
"changeMonth": true,
"changeYear": true
}

Thanks

I tried using this and it threw a syntax error, with no way to retrieve the settings I’d using previously:

{
"changeMonth": true,
"changeYear": true,
"firstDay": 1,
"maxDate": "+1m",
"minDate": "-20y”,
“yearRange”: “2000:2020”
}

On one of my sites I have multiple forms, including one which asks for a booking date and the visitor’s date of birth. Would it be possible to implement something in future which allowed for different settings on each date field?

Well spotted sir! Don’t you just hate rich text?
