I’m getting a JS error about _dynarch_popupCalendar, so loading the calendar is failing.
What is it anyway? and what can I do?

@Anand I doubt this is possible as a setting. Will get back to you if I find it.

Thanks for the article. I seem to be having a similar problem to someone else however I am using cakephp 1.2 (not 1.1). Comes up with error “Warning (512): Method DatePickerHelper::setFormTag does not exist [CORE/cake/libs/view/helper.php, line 148]“

Hi Anand,

I haven’t used this functionality, but I would suggest you to take a look on JSCalendar site which is mentioned in the post.

Hi, I found the helper very useful.Thanks for such a nice bunch of code.In my project I need to restrict user to choose date between a “higher date” and a “lower” date.How can I achieve that using this helper

jarrett :
For anyone who needs to get the date and time.
Add the following to changes to date_picker.php
[helper]
line 13
var $format = ‘%Y-%m-%d %H:%M’;
line 31
function picker($fieldName, $options = array(), $showsTime = null) {
line 38
$options['after'] = $this->Html->link($this->Html->image(’{Your/Image/Location}’), ‘#’, array(’onClick’=>”return showCalendar(’”.$htmlAttributes['id'].”‘, ‘”.$this->format.”‘, ‘”.$showsTime.”‘); return false;”), null, false);
[/helper]
Then in your view that needs time as well
[view]
echo $datePicker->picker(’start_date’, array(’format’=>’%Y-%m-%d %H:%M’), ‘yes’);
[/view]
