README

This project utilizes the bootstrap-datepicker project for use with the contao bootstrap framework. The datepicker is provided as form widget, available in the contao form editor. It can act as replacement for the legacy calendarfield, which does not render correctly with the bootstrap framework.

Requirements

Contao 3.3.0+ (Not tested below that version)
contao-bootstrap/bundle 1.0-rc1+
Bootstrap 3.3 or higher with jQuery

Installation

ToDo

Features

Matches with bootstrap form styles
Calendar popup when entering edit field
Compatible with all modern Browsers
Date validation in frontend and backend
Allows limitation of selectable dates
Automatically matches calendar language with frontend
Also matches date format with the backend date format
Error messages localized in English, German and French.

Not (yet) Implemented

Multidate selection
Range selection

Known limitations

This widget assumes your contao website uses valid ISO 639-1 (de,en,fr ...) codes for language configuration, otherwise it will fail to guess what language your site is using and falls back to english.

This widget also assumes a not too 'exotic' configuration for displaying date like d.m.Y, m/d/Y or Y-m-d to determine the input format for the calendar.
