I did search for this, but had no luck.  If it's possible, when searching, it might be more helpful to include some of the actual thread contents as part of the search results as sometimes basing it on the topic name alone doesn't seem relevant.

So I have 2 questions using the date entry feature. The URL is, if you need it, http://tinyurl.com/objxth.  I am running cforms 10.5.2 on php 5.2.8

1) I tried putting the variable for my date entry into the email that goes to admin, but when I get the email, it does not put in the result.  For example, if I put in:

<strong>{Name}</strong> would like to schedule pet sitting services on or beginning <strong>{Service Start}</strong>. The details of their pet sitting request is below:<br/><br/>

It shows everything but what's entered for {Service Start} – which is the date entry. Any ideas why that is happening?  I tried replacing {Service Start} with {_field6} which the Service Start is the 6th item in the form..but that didn't work either.

2) Is there any way to prevent people from selecting backwards dates? For example, selecting a Date From and a Date To.  So if they selec the Date From as 7/1/2009, when the select the Date To, is it possible for them to NOT be able to select a date older than 7/1/2009?

Thank you!

Hi!

I checked your link and simply wanted to point out that in light of the fact that you choose to remove the cforms credits link may (I've seen earlier responses from Oliver that leads me to think this way…) the reason that your support request doesn't necessarily have a high priority, especially considering that this is an open / no-charge support forum.

re 1), here is what I would try: use the "action" in  my-functions.php to send via email a copy of the cforms data array (example is in the file), this will show you all referencable fields

re 2), cforms uses a jQuery date plugin, there should be some online documentation for it, might want to try that…the special settings would have to be - in the cforms code I believe.
