Hey @jarrad, good to hear from you too. Iāve seen youāve produced quite a good number of plugins. Good job. Hopefully youāre making some money for all your hard work.
Coming back to the code, iām a bit confuse here. You have a placeholder in your picker but the bubble inspector is showing a value of current date. That is not right. When a placeholder is showing it means the field is empty.
And that is why i was pointing to you that the way you were setting the placeholder, you were assigning a real value (by using val) which is not what should be done.
e.g. see the snapshot below where i have a placeholder for bubbleās date picker. As you can see the value is empty.
Also the Air date picker placeholder behaves correctly too as shown below. With your code there will be a value even when you have a placeholder displaying (i.e. the pickerās value is empty)
Yes i know what your saying, but in order to have a starting date that bubble can read back from and a placeholder this method was what got the job done.
Hey @ben.nes, yes the time selectors are not suitable for small screens and wouldnāt recommend you using it on touch/mobile screens. I will rather recommend something like the beautiful Air date/time droppers i developed. It is currently a paid plugin but i had promised some people here that i was going to make it free so watch out for that announcement soon.
Hey @janheinemeyer1, iām not sure i get you entirely. What do you mean by āit is disabled forever and i donāt know how to enable it againā. Explain more and i will be happy to assist you.
Thanks
Oh shoot you did it too . I had it some 6 months ago. I was initially selling it but because i had to go offline for while for some personal issues i couldnāt support it so promised anyone who wanted to buy it that i will be making it free.
Sorry about that man. I did both the date and time droppers.
I donāt want to disappoint the people i promised i will be releasing it for free.
Go for gold mate, first in best dressed! Iām not really into the time stuff by interest =, its just i came across the time dropper and thought it was cool. did you open the little wiggle animation? that honestly, is what got me i think lolā¦
yes i did. it looked funny. I think looking at your plugins i see you have appetite for fancy ui and animation stuff.
I was attracted to the plugins because of the date droppers. they look amazing on mobile and touch screens and though they donāt have the numerous features like the Air date/time picker i think in terms of asthetics theyāre one of the best. if i have time i may look into cloning the original project and see if i could add more functionalities to the date dropper
Thanks for the swift reply @seanhoots! I attached a screenshot of the conditional state. Once you hit that condition the date picker wonāt pop up (correct), but when that condition is not true anymore (in this case status ID <5) the picker wonāt pop up either. It seems like once you have disabled it thereās no way back anymore.
Hey @janheinemeyer1, i see what you mean now. I tested it and youāre right, itās not behaving as it should.
Itās a bug. Thanks for catching it. I think i may have an idea what the problem is. Will work on it and let you know when i fix it. Shouldnāt take long.
Thanks
Hey @janheinemeyer1, i found the bug and iāve fixed it.
But i havenāt pushed the update yet. Working on the autobinding so will push it in that update.
So rest assured that itās fixed. See screencast below.
Plugin page: Air Date/Time picker
New update - Version 2.5
(1) Added auto-binding to parent elementās thing.
You can now auto-bind the date to itās parent elementsā thing.
This is for only single dates and not multi-dates or ranges (bubble require you to specify the type and if it is a list or not so i had to choose one). If there is high demand for auto-biding for list of dates i will see what can be done. VERY IMPORTANT
If you enable auto-biding make sure to check āUse auto bindingā. See image below.
If you donāt do this some cats and dogs will die. Seriously some cats will die.
(2) Fixed disabled bug.
There was a bug where once you disable the picker youāre not able to enable it again.
Itās now fixed. @janheinemeyer1 FYI iāve pushed the update as promised. Thanks for being patient.
Maybe this is silly to mention but I see a lot of use cases for this as a birth date picker. I hope everyone realizes that storing it directly as a date will treat it as a dynamic date affected by time zones. So a birth date can be a day off depending on which timezone a user is looking at it.
Since the picker doesnāt do text, you would need to convert the date to unix and store that as a number in your DB. Unless Iām missing something here
Hi! Thanks for adding the reset input. but I run into an error (sorry we ran into a bug an cannot complete your request).
Than the picker show NaN/NaN/NaN and cannot pick in the calendar anymore
