Re: [WEB400] Webface Popup Calendar

[Jeffrey Young <cooljeff913@xxxxxxxxx>]

Shane,
I have followed your instructions, but the calendar still will not display.
I downloaded version 1.0 of the calendar.
I placed the following files in the .../usr directory:
calendar.js
calendar-stripped.js
calendar-setup.js
calendar-setup-stripped.js
 
In the .../images directory, I placed the file image.gif
In the .../styles directory, I placed the following files:
calendar-blue.css
calendar-blue2.css
calendar-brown.css
calendar-green.css
calendar-system.css
calendar-tas.css
calendar-win2k-1.css
calendar-win2k-2.css
calendar-win2k-cold-1.css
calendar-win2k-cold-2.css
 
In my DDS, I inserted the following under web settings:
<DIV style="position: absolute;"><A href=# onclick="return 
showCalendar('l<%=zOrder%>_TEST$PAYDAT', '%m/%d/%y');"> 
<IMGsrc="images/cal.gif" width="23" height="23" 
border="0"></A></DIV>
My record format is TEST, and the field name is PAYDAT.
 
Any suggestions woud be appreciated.

Jeffrey,

I've actually had some fairly good luck with this...this is how I went 
about doing it...

Download the jsCalendar zip file from this site: 
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=75569&release_id=170375

Once unzipped, I renamed the calendar-en.js to dcalendar-en.js...for some 
reason, it has to see this .js after the calendar.js file...anyways, once 
that's done, I opened the Navigator view and put the calendar.js, 
dcalendar-en.js & mycalendar.js files into a webfaced application's 
WebContent/webfacing/ClientScript/usr/ folder...then, place the cal.gif 
image into the WebContent/webfacing/images/ folder...finally, in your 
WebContent/webfacing/styles/ folder, put the calendar-win2k-1.css file in 
there...

now, open your DDS source in the Webfacing Projects tab...right-click on 
the DDS file that's gonna have the calendar and select Open With -> Code 
Designer...on the screen that's to display the calendar, select a date 
field where the user would normally just enter the date...then, click the 
Web Settings tab and select Insert HTML...inside that, select the After 
tab and enter the following:

showCalendar('l_NEWWO$SDATEN', '%m/%d/%Y');" 
href="http://us.f545.mail.yahoo.com/ym/Compose?box=Midrange%2dL&Mid=1312_3923605_5406_2963_2027_0_82934_4773_283755892&inc=&Search=&YY=73204&order=down&sort=date&pos=0&view=a&head=b#";>\r\nsrc="images/cal.gif"
 width="23" height="23" border="0">


you'll want to change the NEWWO to the name of the DDS record and the 
SDATEN to the name of the actual date field...for example, if you had the 
following DDS code:

A R INTROSCRN
A CF10(10 'Save')
A CF03(03 'Exit')
A 7 2'Please enter a 
Date:'
A DATEFLD 8Y 0B 7 25
A COLOR(WHT)
A EDTWRD(' / / ')
A 23 2'F3=Exit' 
A COLOR(BLU) 
A 23 24'F10=Save'
A COLOR(BLU)

you'd make the code look like this:

showCalendar('l_INTROSCRN$DATEFLD', '%m/%d/%Y');" 
href="http://us.f545.mail.yahoo.com/ym/Compose?box=Midrange%2dL&Mid=1312_3923605_5406_2963_2027_0_82934_4773_283755892&inc=&Search=&YY=73204&order=down&sort=date&pos=0&view=a&head=b#";>\r\nsrc="images/cal.gif"
 width="23" height="23" border="0">


this format (%m/%d/%Y) returns a mm/dd/ccyy format...however, you can 
change it to say %m/%d/%y to have it return a 6 digit date instead...it's 
just a matter of playing around with the format to get it to return the 
desired date...

hope this helps...

[WEB400] Webface Popup Calendar






Has anyone implemented a popup calendar in a Webface application?

I have the Mastering Webface redbook and the downloads, but where 
do I put the java scripts in the project?
Also, if you have implemented any other type of calendar (I actualy 
need one that will return mmddyy format) please advise what to put 
where.
I have seen a number of free js calendars on the web, but do not 
know how to implement in a webface application.
