Sprout Form Date/Time field not displaying

Question

I'm working on an inherited site where I have a sprout form and am adding additional fields. I have added a date/time field to the form with the settings in this screenshot.

In my template where all other fields are working I have added the following.

{{ craft.sproutForms.displayField('contact.targetProjectDate') }}

This field does not display and there is nothing in the source either.

Please advise

Answer 1

In the end I switched it to a default text field and used jQuery datepicker.

Answer 2

Not exactly a direct answer, but this is where my first search started me.

To save a Date/Time field into craft using a jQuery dateTime picker, you can create a small plugin and place this in the init method of the primay plugin file (Craft 2x).

MyPluginFile.php

public function init()
{
    parent::init();

    craft()->on('sproutForms.onBeforeSaveEntry', function (Event $event) {
        if (craft()->request->isCpRequest()) {
            // Entry was saved from within the CP so we can ignore it.
        } else {
            if ($event->params['isNewEntry']) {
                $entry = $event->params['entry'];

                // Get the current time zone from the system.
                date_default_timezone_set(craft()->timezone);

                $entry->setContentFromPost(array(
                    'eventDate' => date('Y-m-d', strtotime(craft()->request->getPost('fields.eventDate'))),
                    'startTime' => date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime(craft()->request->getPost('fields.startTime'))),
                    'endTime' => date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime(craft()->request->getPost('fields.endTime'))),
                ));
            }
        }
    });
}
