Works great – thanks for sharing!
This did the job I wanted but the installation info could be a little clearer. All it says is:
Basic usage:
[datepicker myFirstDatepicker id:myFirstDatepicker format:dd.mm.yy]
I figured out that this had to be placed within the form fields; but in order to get the form to send the date the following also has to be added in the message body of the mail tab:
Date : [myFirstDatepicker]
Took me a couple of goes to work out was was needed. Great plugin, just needs better instructions for use.
Thanks, so I can see the right date format.
I tried to add a min date like this:
[datepicker date-1 min:today+7days id:date-1 format:dd/mm/yy]
or
[datepicker date-1 start-date min:today+7days id:date-1 format:dd/mm/yy]
but doesn’t work, any idea please?
