Hello All,

I am working on a survey to replace an excel sheet that has about 30 start and end dates that need to be entered. The existing solution I have is to just have two columns of texts. I need date pickers direly!

I looked through several different solutions to call a datepicker function, using google to look through your forums, and did find some great explanations of implementing pickers in some situations that I might have been able to jerry rig but 2.0 and 2.5 code does not work at all in 3.x LS. Does anybody know of an easy way to get a date picker to appear for array of texts?

This script will insert date-time pickers into a text-array in LS3:

Thank you Tony!

I implemented it and was even able to use the 'LT' code next to format to get it to be a time picker only. It looks really good.

Hi guys!
Thanks for the example code!

I'm trying to modify it to insert the datepicker only in one column, so I'll have one text column and one date column, but I'm too noob to do it.

Can someone help?

Something like this for the first column:


Modify the index number in this line as necessary for other columns:

Thank you so much! You've saved me!

I just noticed that the datepicker doesn't load properly on mobile, is that right?
I also went to getdatepicker.com/4/ and manage to change de language of the datepicker, but I'm struggling to remove the icon, so far no luck...

You may need to add some style rules to defeat the block display of tables on smaller screens:

You need to modify the html structure:

You're awesome!
Works like a charm!

Hi Tony,

Thank you for your code! It work great!

I'm not good at coding and I really need some help. I'm using this code to have multiple date range picker but for what I'm using it I also need some small features.

Please, if you have time or you want, it is possible to have a minimum and a maximum date? When I say minimum date, I'm thinking to not be able to select the days before "Today". Also the end date if it's possible to be conditioned to be higher than start date, that would be great.

If you can help I would really appreciate and my thanks wouldn't be enough.

Best reagrds!

Or if there is any documentation for this bootstrap, because I can't find any that works.

Thank you!

Here the docs.

and there is a doc file included

Hi guys,

I need some help, if it's possible on the attached survey. The focus should be only on the code of the  first question.
Using the code that tpartner uploaded, I modified the array in order to have two entities, one for start date and one for end date.
What I would really like is that the selected start date to be the minDate of the end date. I really tried different solution from web, but it looks like I didn't succeeded yet.
If you can have a look on the code of the first question and have any solution I would really appreciate.

Thank you guys in advance!

Hi,
why don't you use the built-in questioin type "date/time"?
Here all your requirements are built-in

For the first start date (Q1a) set a Mindate of "date(Y-m-d)"
For the first end date (Q1b) set Mindate to the value of Q1a

2. Period:
start date: Mindate=Q1b
end date: Mindate=Q2a
...

   

To join the questions a used the css class "no-bottom".
Put this into your "custom.css" and add the css class "no-bottom" to the first of the two questions
Just an idea.

And as you read here
[url] www.limesurvey.org/manual/Question_type_..._date_.28date_min.29 [/url]

you can use certain strings or calculation to fine tune the allowed date rangeValid values

• Any date value in format YYYY-MM-DD (eg., 2017-08-24);
• Any year value;
• Any English string  : "now", "-10 years", "tomorrow";
• Reference to another date/time question : AnotherDateQuestion (using the question code);
• Expressions : With expressions, a minimum date can be dynamically calculated. For example, you can use a date from a previous answer + 3 days as a minimum for the present question by entering: date("Y-m-d",strtotime(departuredate)+3*60*60*24).

Hi Joffm,

Thank very much for your time!
In the end I quit using a date range picker and I decided to go with an Array question. For the statistic it's better this way.

Everything is going pretty smooth, but still I have a problem with Question validation equation. As you can see in the attached survey I want to use 4 tokens, so that each participant will have it's own values.

But let's just focus on first 2 tokens. The first token is a minimum value and the second token is the maximum value that will be mandatory for each participant. The idea is that the sum of responses on the first column to be bigger or equal with min value and smaller or equal with the max value.

For example if the min value will be 2 and the max value will be 32 and if I select only 4 answers on the first column, the question will be in "red" because for some reasons it will compare only with the first digit from the max value; 4 <= 3. The only time the question will be in "green" is when he sum is equal with 2, 3 and from 20 to 32.

If I use for example min value 4 and max value 21 it will be even worse.

If in the Question validation equation I use numbers instead of tokens, it will work fine.

Please, if you encounter this situation in the past can you show the right way. It's not excluded that I use the wrong equation.

Thank you in advance!

Bets regards!
