datetimefield/dependent

following on from a previous thread

http://datatables.net/forums/discussion/31507/

I am having a problem with the editor (1.5.3) datetimefield/dependent

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

If I set the event to for example, focusout, the editor instance opens ok, but if I set it to change, the editor does not open, and I get an error

dataTables.editor.js:569 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined

Interesting - I can reproduce that using this example with the following code (change is the default):

editor.dependent( 'start_date', function ( val ) {
        console.log( editor.field( 'start_date' ).val( val ) );
} );

Sorry about this error! Let me look into it and I'll post back as soon as I've got the fix.

Trying to think of a workaround

What I want to do is set the value of additional date fields in my editor to the same as the start date on changing the start date value

I tried adding the following code to my page

        $('input', editor.field('tblevent.EventDate').node()).on( 'change', function () {
        var value = editor.field('tblevent.EventDate').val();
        editor.field('tblevent.EventDateTo').set( value );
        editor.field('tblevent.ReplyDeadlineDate').set( value );

    } );

but this gives me an error

dataTables.editor.js:569 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined

Also, a couple of general datapicker questions...

is it possible to close the datepicker when tabbing through the editor ? - as my datepicker instance stays open unless i click.

can i add dates going back prior to 2005 ?

Thanks

UPDATE

I changed the datepicker, so I am now using the bootstrap-datetimepicker 2

http://editor.datatables.net/plug-ins/field-type/editor.datetimepicker-2

This is working well, no errors, but the code i posted above doesn't fire on change, (though it does fire on mouseover, on blur ...

Hi,

I've just dropped you an e-mail about the above issue, but regarding this:

is it possible to close the datepicker when tabbing through the editor ?

That's a bug - will be fixed in 1.5.4 - thanks!

can i add dates going back prior to 2005 ?

Yes. The range can be extended using the opts.yearRange option of the datetime field type.
