How to add a new Input Field Type?

[RateU]

If you want d-m-Y date format in newthread and editpost, you need to set the format into my_date('d-m-Y',{VALUE}) in your input text and use dd-mm-yyyy in your Javascript (see my example before), then use the Custom regex (the new Custom regex uses - as separators, not /).

Thank youuuuu Rate Now works perfectly!

So the code is:

Text Mask Filter (regex): ^(0?[1-9]|[12]\d|3[01])\-(0?[1-9]|1[012])\-((?:19|20)\d\d)$

Input Formatter: <?=strtotime({VALUE})?>

Input Field HTML:

Code:

<input type="text" class="textbox"{NAME_PROP}{MAXLE​​N_PROP}{WIDTH_PROP_SIZE}{TABINDE​X​_PROP}{REQUIRED_PROP} value="<if {VALUE} && !$mybb->input['my_post_key'] then><?=my_date('d-m-Y',{VALUE})?><else>{VALUE}</if>" id="datepicker" />

---

Display Format: <?=date('d-m-Y', {VALUE})?>

Now when I edit or create a new thread I haven't more problems with format date and if I don't add a date isn't a problem. And no problem with 1970

Thank you again

Javascript Code

new Date(new Date('2000-01-01 12:00:22') + 3600*1000).toString()

May vary depending on what validation you want and pattern capturing.

If you're applying the timezone correction twice, then times are going to be off.  Don't use my_date if you intend to use it later, because it will correct timezone (use date instead).

Hi,

I still have a problem with this, same topic.

If I already have an existing thread, and I edit the Original Post, the "date" field (which has the datepicker) shows up as the unix time integer.

If I then click on that textbox, and pick a date, it shows up in the right dd-mm-yy format. How do I make it show in the right format as soon as editpost.php loads?

Cheers!

Edit: scratch that. I got confused how to combine the code in the above posts.

Fixed it as follows:

Used this Input Field HTML:

Code:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

<if THIS_SCRIPT == 'editpost.php' && !isset($mybb->input['processed']) then> <input type="text" class="textbox"{NAME_PROP}{MAXLE​​N_PROP}{WIDTH_PROP_SIZE}{TABINDE​X​_PROP}{REQUIRED_PROP} value="<?=date('d-m-Y', (int){VALUE})?>" id="datepicker" style="position: relative; z-index: 10000;" /> <else> <input type="text" class="textbox"{NAME_PROP}{MAXLE​​N_PROP}{WIDTH_PROP_SIZE}{TABINDE​X​_PROP}{REQUIRED_PROP} value="{VALUE}" id="datepicker" style="position: relative; z-index: 10000;" /> </if>

Update: It isn't enough just to check if the script is 'editpost.php'.

If the user clicks preview, or makes an error on attempting to submit the edit, editpost.php passes the text value of the textbox to the next page. This text value then gets put through the date() function, leading to the 1970 date problem.

The solution is to check if the 'processed' flag is set:

Code:

<if THIS_SCRIPT == 'editpost.php' && !isset($mybb->input['processed']) then>

Updated the previous post's code.
