Hey there,

when I insert the calendar, the field is not shown in the bindings panel (form).

I need to store the choosen date in a session. So i created a hidden field.

I stored the hidden field in a session, but now I got problems to set the date to CURRENT_DATE in the beginning and the SESSION_DATE in the next visit of the page.

- set current date first page visit
- store date in session
- set session date at the next visit

How to do that?

Cheers,
Denis

Hello Denis,

- Are you using a dynamic or static calendar?

- set current date first page visit

- please enter "+0" /without the quotes/ in the initial date field in order to display today's date

- store date in session

What session variable are you using?

I use the session $_SESSION['eventDate']

My form is not dynamic.

Have you created a Form variable with the same id as your hidden field? Then you can send this form variable to your session variable.

The ID of the calendar ist "date", the hiddenfield ID is "eventDate".

To store I set:

$_SESSION['eventDate']=$_POST['eventDate']

That works, but where do I put the SESSION?

If I put it in the intire field it says 1970-01-01.

Do I really need a hidden field?

Cheers,
Denis

Please check this website:

www.w3schools.com/php/php_sessions.asp

I know how to use session :-)

My SESSIONS are: date und eventDate

So for the field date in the extension I use.

format: dd-mm-yy
and
initial:

< ?php echo  dmxCalendarFormat(((isset($_SESSION['eventDate']))?$_SESSION['eventDate']:"+0"), "dd-mm-yy") ; ? >

Alternative field: hidden_eventeDate
format: yy-mm-dd
initial:

< ?php echo  dmxCalendarFormat(((isset($_SESSION['hidden_eventDate']))?$_SESSION['hidden_eventDate']:"+0"), "yy-mm-dd")  ; ? >

This is the page:
www.rockspots.de/akkreditierung/addNewDate/addNewDate1.php

Date starts with 1.1.1970

If I dont use the alernative field it works.

please help,
Denis

hi,

is there anything new about the formfield missing in the bindings panel?

cheers,

Hello Denis,

We've discussed this in the live support chat.
The formfield is not missing in the bindings panel, it is not supposed to be there.
If you need you can always create form variable under the bindings tab.

Hey Teodor,

thanks for the answer. It was not clear during the support chat. There was the main problem the entire date :-)

So I just have to create a binding in the bindings panel?

Cheers,
Denis
