Date Picker

[Sean Gorman]

Is there an available addon or a macro I'm missing in order to popup a calendar screen, then choose the date being input onto the page?

Creating a new meeting agenda template where when the page is created, you click the "DATE" field, select the date of the meeting, then continue to build the agenda.

Thanks!

If you are plannning to create a customized template, include this in your form (soy Template) , highlighted in bold. Then create a blueprint that accepts this value and then pass this on to the page created by the blueprint.

<div class="field-group">

<label for="some-date">{getText('some.blueprint.wizard.form.label.date')}</label>

<input id="some-date" class="datepicker-field date-field text" type="text" name="date" size="10" autocomplete="off">

</div>

Hi Sean,

As far as I know, if you just type double forward slash inside a page, "//", it should bring a date picker in the latest versions of confluence.

This is bundled with the application :)

Cheers,

Rodrigo

Is this documented anywhere? I wonder what other similar tricks I might be missing out on.

[James Hunt [Vistronix]]

It does the Date but not the time. Would be nice to have an option to add the time as well.

Thanks.

That was so quick

Thanks,

Thanks @Rodrigo Adami!

@Rodrigo Adami  is there a way to enter the time as well?

Thanks

The // spec is listed here under the Date Picker design docs:

But is there a way for the Date Picker to be used without going into Edit mode?

[Andrey Khaneev [StiltSoft]]

Casey, do you want to change date without editing the page? If yes, take a look at Handy Macros add-on, it has Handy Date tool that makes date macros editable while viewing the page.

[Casey Maynard]

Yes, that seems to be just another add-on we have to purchase for such a simple functionality.  We are limited on how much we are willing to spend on making Confluence become user friendly without spending.

I was hoping for an affordable option.
