Hi @seanhoots Just trying out the Time picker - looks great. Is there a way to pass it initial content?

Thanks
Simon

seanhoots · August 27, 2018, 1:21pm

Hi @simon, are you talking about the Time picker or Time Dropper. These are two different plugins and you mentioned the Time picker but the time picker allows setting initial content

simon · August 27, 2018, 8:14pm

Hi @seanhoots thanks for the speedy response I did mean Time Dropper.

But I have decided to use the AirDate/Time picker instead - so it’s all good

Thanks
Simon

Hello!

I am trying to move two Time Dropper elements from the page to a popup and I get an error. They work beautifully on the page but not in the popup (I just copy/pasted).

Any ideas on how to get them working?

Thanks,
Jen

Hi @seanhoots

Thanks for this awesome plugin, use it all the time. I need your help on how to clear the following error that I’m seeing in my debugger, while using Chrome:

I’ve tried playing around with a few things, but still keep receiving the error.

Thank you,
Gilles

seanhoots · October 17, 2018, 2:18pm

This message shows you’re using the Air date/time picker not the Air date/time dropper.
These are two different plugins.

In anyway I believe this issue is not from the plugin.
I used this plugin myself in several applications and I know many people using in live applications and have never seen this message.
So it’s likely due to your application logic.
Maybe you’re calling some function of the plugin in a loop.
Create a new page and add the plugin elememt to test if you see thr same message.

gilles · October 17, 2018, 3:33pm

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply. Amazing!! I found the issue with your help. I clicked in the “i” to see what actions, elements were tied up to the specific airdate element. I had a lot of “create new actions”, but none of them had looping workflows. I found a conditional element that had some sort of “if maximum date, then font is red”. That was the issue! Once removed, no more errors.

Thanks for your direction!
Gilles

Hey @seanhoots! With thousands of apps using this your Date Dropper, I’m sure I won’t be the first person to tell you how amazing it is

If you’re looking for ideas on how to improve it, it would be really awesome if:

We could set the colors to a hex code instead of a theme
The font in the dropper could be changed
Clicking the checkmark could start a workflow

Just wanted to mention these from my experience using the plugin. Thanks for all your hard work!

jamie · December 19, 2018, 2:03am

Hi @seanhoots,

Love the look of the air/date dropper! Once a person clicks the date, is there a way to start a workflow as @callen.hedglen mentioned above?

Would love to create a new “reminder” for ex. when someone clicks the date.

Thanks!

callen.hedglen · December 20, 2018, 4:33am

For some additional context, here’s the message I received back in October from Sean:

Yes the features you mentioned are good are great improvements. All of them were not available in the original library that the plugin is built from that is why there are not there.

So if I have to add any of them i will have to extend the base library. Realistically I could implement the colors and maybe the font in a very short time. But for triggering event when a date is picked i will have to take some time to look at the library code to see where i can hook that event in.

In coming days when i get some time i will do the colors and font. But i can’t promise anything now for the date selected event.

No more communication since then, but I also didn’t follow-up after I responded to this message.

jamie · December 20, 2018, 3:49pm

Oh thank you for sharing! Appreciate it.

I decided to use the Air/Date Time Picker so that I could create a workflow. It isn’t as pretty but maybe one day I can switch back if the workflow element is added

petter · February 11, 2019, 6:57am

I’m loving these plugins, beatuiful. I can see there’s a lot of work behind it too, thanks for the awesome contribution.

I was using the TimeDropper for one of my forms, but once I discovered that there’s no way to set initial content, it became hard, as I couldn’t use it to edit already existing things. Is there a way to solve it, or any plans to implement it?

jaos.pcl · February 14, 2019, 2:09pm

Hi @seanhoots !

Thank you very much for this great plugin.

May I have a translation request please? I would like to ask if you could add Swedish translation to the plugin please.

I am providing you with the translation below.

daysShort: ['Sön', 'Mån', 'Tis', 'Ons', 'Tors', 'Fre', 'Lör'],

Thank you!

klaas.vanhoeck · April 18, 2019, 5:52pm

Hi @seanhoots,

The plugin doesn’t include auto binding. Is it possible to save the date and time directly when it is changed?

Thanks in advance

rmrosek · April 22, 2019, 7:43pm

Doesn’t look like this has been fixed yet? I’m still seeing it.

austinjarts · June 15, 2019, 4:25am

Thank you @seanhoots ! This is exactly what I was looking for. One minor issue.

On mobile the Date picker position is locked at the bottom and I’m unable to see the bottom of the picker with the check mark, which is the most important part. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Thanks!

austinjarts · June 15, 2019, 5:01am

@seanhoots Also is there any way we can position the popups in general?
