@DateTextField

Hmm, I have to supply a custom converter then. Could there be a default one in the YUI extension?

How does your dateconverter look like?

you should use org.apache.wicket.datetime.markup.html.form.DateTextField in
wicket-datetime, not the one from wicket-extensions ;)

concerning your approach for the additional renderer:
i think that's the way to go, since you can't just simply render such a call
to the head section of the page, due to the usage of yuiloader, which loads
the libs dynamically.
so the calls would have to go after the Wicket.DateTime.init call in in the
init${widgetId}DpJs function in DatePicker.js

eelco, you're okay with this?

btw: if people want to customize the calendar with the configure method,
they have to know that it's the YUI Calendar anyway, so i think that's
nothing to worry about.

Hmm, Im trying to make the calendar work with the DateTextField from the
extensions(I guess thats the one I should use right?). But something are
wrong, now my ajax update behaviors are no longer called, could you
provide a snipplet of how it should be setup?

Im doing this now

        TextField selectedDate = new TextField("calendar",
                selectedDateModel);
        selectedDate.add(new AjaxFormComponentUpdatingBehavior("onChange")
{
            @Override
            protected void onUpdate(AjaxRequestTarget target) {
                log.debug("event fired");
                target.addComponent(ajaxRequiredTable);

                 target.addComponent(dateLabel);

            }
        });

        form.add(selectedDate);
        DatePicker datePicker = new DatePicker() { lots of stuff goes
here...
         selectedDate.add(datePicker);

And was just replacing it with:

        DateTextField selectedDate = new DateTextField("calendar",
                selectedDateModel);
        selectedDate.add(new AjaxFormComponentUpdatingBehavior("onChange")
{
            @Override
            protected void onUpdate(AjaxRequestTarget target) {
                log.debug("event fired");
                target.addComponent(ajaxRequiredTable);

                 target.addComponent(dateLabel);

            }
        });

        form.add(selectedDate);
        DatePicker datePicker = new DatePicker() { lots of stuff goes
here...
         selectedDate.add(datePicker);

Nino,
if you assign the DateTextField a model (with a valid date), the
datepicker
picks the date up
and marks the given date as selected.

@ CalendarGroup
the most unobtrusive way i could come up with is the following:
let the user override DatePicker#configure and do this:

widgetProperties.put("pages", 2);

problems arise when the user wants to use month/year selection too,
as these two options don't work together (which option is more
important?)
we could do a check for that in DatePicker#renderHead right before the
widgetProperties are
transformed into a javascript array (line 190 or so) and throw an
exception
if (enableMonthYearSelection && widgetProperties.contains("pages") &&
Objects.longValue(widgetProperties.get("pages")) > 1)

on the client side, the function Wicket.DateTime.init checks whether the
configuration
property "pages" is available and greater 1 and instantiates a
CalendarGroup
instead of a Calendar.

another (more dummy save) approach is to provide a class DatePickerGroup
which final overrides enableMonthYearSelection with return false
and introduces an overridable method getPages which sets the property.

i would rather take the first route, as it doesn't expand the api.
i also think that's what Eelco would prefer, right? ;)

if you set a model for the textfield, the datepicker should actually
pick
it up.
but i'm not sure whether this "picking up" is done in the
Wicket.DateTime.showCalendar method,
which is not called for the renderOnLoad-DatePicker, iirc...

i will take a look at this later today...

Sure there are always more questions:)

I know that the problem with YUI calender, it has no model? what I
mean
are of course the calendar are attached to a tf field, and we use that
for interaction on the calendar, but it seems that it are one way
calendar --> textfield. Always being calendar thats pushing the value
to
the text field, and not noticing the differences if any the other way.
And yes we are talking about the standalone version(good memory,
Gerolf).

It could be very nice if the calendar had some way of opening up for
special statements I wanted to input.. For example to make the special
rendering work I could just do this:

YAHOO.example.calendar.cal1.addRenderer("2/29",
YAHOO.example.calendar.cal1.*renderCellStyleHighlight1 );
*This adds the css class identifier highlight1 to the date 29/2. Then
it
would be up to the user or we could provide a default style which were
bold. User can always override these styles.


I mean the current implementation already knows a lot of this, it
knows
the namespace and the instance so I think if I somehow could be
allowed
doing something like below and there where such a method.

// pseudo alike code
Protected void additionalInitParametersAndCalls(List calls)
{
}

List param=...

param.add("addRenderer("2/29",
YAHOO.example.calendar.cal1.*renderCellStyleHighlight1 )*");

This approach however requires that the user of the component are
aware
that its a YUI calender, we could also just encapsulate the things and
make java methods for it. But theres just so many use cases thats
possible.

WDYT?

hi nino,

@ your problem:
if there is no model which can be updated (ie with an
AjaxFormComponentUpdatingBehavior), so wicket doesn't know what

happened on

the client side. as a consequence the calendar is initialized with
the
default dates.
are we talking about a standalone calendar with an invisible

textfield?

@ multipage calendar:
i already have something in my mind for supporting multipage

calendars. i

will try to add it this evening.

@custom renderer:
it would be nice if you could come up with something ;)

anymore questions?

regards,

What's planed for the calendar?

I have an issue(I'll file a bug if asked to):

Selecting a date on calendar
goto another (wicket)page
return to the page with calendar and now default date a selected

again.

I do not do anything special  to  preserve the  date for the

calendar,

it  does not have a model..


Im starting to need these things:

Multipage calendar
http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/examples/calendar/calgrp.html
Calendar dates marked with bold
http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/examples/calendar/render.html

I could try to implement these thinges myself an supply a patch

later.
