Re: Need a custom form for collecting user data and send in Email..

Is there plugin for using mini calendar next to related field? As I am intending to collect user data form(It has several fields such as airport pickup) and send it to owner’s email.

Hi Sheru, do you think of the calendar as a helper form intended to aid people to enter date and time correctly, like the one in phpMyAdmin displayed alongside fields of type “datetime”? Personally, I haven’t seen a TXP plugin with such functionality, but I remember having seen something on the net some years ago, maybe this is what you’re looking for: You need to click the text links besides the form fields to open the calendar popup. (Hold tight, a good portion of ugliness awaits you ;)

Edit: In case you need to change the language: I just saw the page has a German example for that. Look at the source code, search for “german”, and there you have the month names in the JS source code (they’re pretty similar to the English ones, you’ll find them). I’m pretty sure you can combine that with the capability to insert dates into separate fields if you desire so.
