Re: [S2] Adding Calendar function to a form.

[cilquirm]

it is possible, if you extend and modify whatever theme you're using.

Then you can put that code wherever you want it to show up right inside the
freemarker template that renders it.

Not my site, but I had the exact same problem as you and that's where I went. 
It does have pretty solid, and concise examples.

Al,

I am surprised I didn't remember seeing this on your site, as it is one
of only a handful of Struts 2 sites I have bookmarked.  Thanks for the
indepth explanations along with the solid examples.

I too am starting to see this.  Yes, simple will be the way to go when I 
need to get out of the realm of columnar Label/Data presentations.  We 
actually have the 'luxury' of a presentation team here, so they will 
design the look and feel, and I will get to plug things in so as to fit 
into their vision.  Not too shabby a way to work, sometimes.

The more I look at and play with this scenario, the more I am starting
to thing that using the default XHTML theme is not the way to go.  I
would be much better served, I think to use the simple theme, giving me
much more control over layout and additional tags around my form
fields.  Is that a proper assumption, and a more 'struts2-ish' way of
approaching things?

Thanks,
Skip

I feel the supplied themes are starting points--they
may work great for many cases, but as soon as you need
something different, I think you're better off either
extending an existing theme or creating your own.

If you're doing enough different things on all your
pages then using the "simple" theme might be a good
idea, but as soon as you find yourself inserting the
same chunks of markup over and over then I think you'd
be creating more work in the long run than extending
or creating.

So far I've found the "xhtml" theme to work for me
almost everything with the occasional dip in to
"simple" land, but my projects have fairly basic input
needs (except for one horribly difficult page :/

I tried the s:datetimepicker to work on things, but since I am not using
AJAX, I believe that is a dead end, no?  There'd be no point in bringing
in the ajax theme if I wasn't using AJAX.

So how do I incorporate a standard js calendar routine into a field on
my form?

What I want to add is this calendar clickable icon that brings up a date
picker:




Where I want to add it is next to my input box on my form for the
datePaid field:


I am just missing the concept here on how to plug custom code into the
s: tags.  I am trying very hard not to hack this thing to bits with
tricks and cheats.

Struts 2 tags support pretty much all the attributes that their html
counterparts do.
I haven't used NewCal ( seen it, but not used it )

but you can try something like this :


javascript:NewCal('myfield','ddmmm',true,24)  images/cal.gif
