Good evening
I create a date field for the birthday's members of my site and it is impossible to fill directly
the birthday date and the calendar popup is not very easy to use with aged people for the birthday year.
Is there a solution :
1/ to fill directly with keyboard and to check after if the date is correct ?
or
2/ to get a big list for year to choose directly the good year ?
Thank you

I have the same problem.

Most people doesn't manage to enter their birthyear.
Anyone with a fix or solution?

The calendar is an external library, so you are most likely to find answers from their site.

I posted below about removing it. It is quite annoying to use.

I think removing it and then requireing a particular entry (eg. dd/mm/yy) would be easiest. Anyone have any experience in this?

Calendar is an external library - if you want to improve its basic functions.

However, the parameters governing the date field in CB is controlled in the comprofiler.class.php file (around line 2822).

I changed:
[code:1]$return = '<input class="inputbox"'.$vardisabled.' mosReq="'.$oReq.'" mosLabel="'.getLangDefinition($oLabel).'" type="text" name="' . $oName .'" readonly="readonly" id="' . $oName . '" value="' . $oValue . '" />'."\n";[/code:1]
to[code:1]$return = '<input class="inputbox" mosReq="'.$oReq.'" mosLabel="'.getLangDefinition($oLabel).'" type="text" name="' . $oName .'" id="' . $oName . '" value="' . $oValue . '" />'."\n";[/code:1]
This disabled the readonly / disable parameters. So, now, my calendar is editable and has a popup calendar on single-click. This works pretty well. However, I'd like to have a simple text field with a calendar button next to it like in these pages -
www.dynarch.com/demos/jscalendar/simple-1.html and www.dynarch.com/demos/jscalendar/doc/html/reference.html#node_sec_3.1.1

I tried adding the button, but could not get the button to popup the calendar. If anyone manages to get the button working, please post here.

That's awesome! Thanks for the code. It's a great temporary solution. The only problem I'm having is moving the calendar position away from the input field. Currently it sits right on top of it.

Anyway, I love the idea of the button next to it. Until then, thanks for this.
