Hi again,
I appear to have another problem with the Calendar plugin. Form inputs deployed by the Calendar plugin do not show in the default Bindings panel in DW CS6. I am trying to update inserts with new Calendar fields but am experiencing this issue repeatedly.

Any help appreciated!



Best regards,
Dave.

I have also tried temporarily storing the calendar inputs to hidden fields (which do appear in the Bindings panel) to see if I can work around it but this does not work and the date is displayed as 01/01/1900.

Hello Dave,
Are you trying to use the DW Bindings panel OR the HTML5 Data Bindings? The calendar fields are not supposed to "automatically show" in the DW Bindings panel.
Are you sure you are using right date format for the alt field?

I am using the DW Bindings panel to select the form inputs to map to my Insert new record. The form inputs show fine in Data Bindings but they do not appear in the default native DW Bindings panel as all the other form inputs do. I have a multitude of Insert record procedures that have date inputs that I would like to replace with new Calendar 3 inputs but they all use Insert record procedures built outside of DMX extensions and Data Bindings. Does this mean I can not use the Calendar 3 form inputs with the standard DW Bindings panel?

I am not sure what you mean by using the right date format in the alt field?

Sorry for being a pain Teodor.

Thanks for your help.

In order to insert dates with DW insert/update record behaviors you must use the ALT Field option. The date format of the ALT Fields should be the same as your Database Date format.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

I was sort of on the right track with trying to bind the inputs to hidden form elements outside of Calendar 3....

I shall now go back and do it correctly and make sure the alt field is set to the correct format.

Once again DMX proves to have the best support for extensions I have encountered. Can not recommend you guys enough.

Thank you Teodor.
