dependent

crush123

i have a couple of date fields, eventdatefrom and eventdateto

what i would like to do is set the value of eventdateto to the same as eventdatefrom, when eventdatefrom is being updated.

This, together with some validation, will help prevent the user setting an end date before the start date.

I have been trying to use

 editor.dependent( 'tblevent.EventType', function ( val ) {

 alert(val);

 }

but the event doesn't seen to be triggered from a text input, only from a select

dependent() will be triggered by the change event by default (which simply typing into a text input does not trigger - although it should when the focus then leaves that input).

You can have it listen for other events using the event option in the options parameter that you can pass to it (so for example you could listen for keyup). See dependent() for details.

the fields are date fields which use the datepicker, so i wasn't seeing anything happen at first as i wasn't using the keyboard. !

i can get the result i want now, but not when i want.

the mouse events below will work, but if i try to use the change event, nothing happens

editor.dependent( 'tblevent.EventDate', function ( val ) {
        editor.field( 'tblevent.EventDateTo' ).val( val );
    },
    {event: 'mouseup focusout'}
    );

What date picker specifically - datetime, or a plug-in? Can you link to the page?

I am using the datetime field from editor 1.5.2.

i will post a link tomorrow

I've just been looking into this and figured out what was happening. I've got a fix which will be in 1.5.3 (which should be out tomorrow, all being well!). If you want to apply it immediately, in the Editor file search for the function _writeOutput - you will find the following block of code:

this.dom.input
.val( out )
.focus();

Replace with:

        this.dom.input
            .val( out )
            .change()
            .focus();

That will trigger the dependent method with a regular change event.

Thanks for letting me know about this issue.
