Calculate Eelement Not Changing

[lazysheepmedia]

Folks

I have a date element in my form and I want the calc element to calculate 2 months ahead but it does not appear to be working

If you look at this short video it will describe the settings I have (Sorry you need to scroll up and down to watch where the mouse is)

You don't need to set ajax observe fields but you need a ; in the last line.

Thanks Troester - I have removed the "observe" stuff and added the ; at the end and whilst the date is displaying, it still is not working?

I'm sure its just me being a dumb-ass but any help appreciated

Hey,

If you have 01/01/1970, it means in your case that php didn't get the numbers he wanted to make your mktime function work and he set it to "default".

In the first screencast, your code was like : "___properties_some_stuff", but when you checked the source code, your element was named "properties___poperties_some_stuff". Did you try to add the "properties" before the 3 underscores in your calculation script ?

Thanks for the reply

Yes I did try with that

Even if your code is correct, did you try without the mktime function to see if the calculation could get your elements' values ?

Like just : return '{___properties_some_stuff}';

If yes, what did you get ?

 

[lazysheepmedia]

Sorry Kinkaz I was out all day yesterday

What do you mean by:

return '{___properties_some_stuff}';

Do I replace:

return date( 'd F Y', mktime(0, 0, 0, date( $month)+2, date( $day), date( $year)));

With:

return '{___properties_gas_date_cal}';

Thanks

 

[kinkaz]

Np ! Yes, this is what I meant. Just to see if the calc element gets your element's value and what is returned.

 

[lazysheepmedia]

Thanks Kinkaz -

I have tried that and this is what I get now

PS Trust you are well

There is a wiki on dates in calcs, and several forum threads. I am sure you will find what you need there.

Thanks Sophist - Kinkaz managed to resolve it - I was using the _cal on the end and when removed it resolves it
