This is a duplication of the existing datetime field code, but renders inline rather than in a popup.
My extended explanation of the changes are on the ACF forum here: Inline datetime pickers?
This project was built with the following frameworks, technologies and software.
These are the steps to get up and running with this plugin.
- Clone the repo into your wordpress plugin folder
git clone https://github.com/IORoot/wp-plugin__acf--inline-datetime-field ./wp-content/plugins/acf_datetime_inline
- Activate the plugin.
Two things to know:
- The datetimepicker is an extension of the jQuery UI date picker. It has a known bug that will NOT allow the time to be set in inline mode. However, I have a fix for that.
- To activate inline mode, you need to target a
<div>
or<span>
as the target for the datetimepicker instead of the<input>
tag.
So, step one is to update the render_field
method in the acf_field_date_and_time_picker.php
file and class.
Just to keep to the style of the existing code, I inserted a new DIV using the acf methods here:
$text_input = array(
'class' => 'input',
'value' => $display_value,
);
$inline_calendar = array(
'class' => 'calendar-inline input'
);
// html
?>
<div <?php acf_esc_attr_e( $div ); ?>>
<?php acf_hidden_input( $hidden_input ); ?>
<?php // acf_text_input( $text_input ); ?>
<div <?php acf_esc_attr_e( $inline_calendar ); ?>></div>
</div>
<?php
}
This will insert the div below the text input, and comment out the text input.
Next, update the acf-input.js
file to edit the javascript of the picker.
Note that the datetimepicker is an extension of the date picker. So, around line 5811 there will be a definition for the date_picker and it will declare the $inputText
.
$inputText: function(){
return this.$('.calendar-inline');
// return this.$('input[type="text"]');
},
This should now return your .calendar-inline class instead of the <input>
tag.
Lastly, a bit further down, in the date_time_picker section (not date_picker section) there is a declaration to add.newDateTimePicker
on line 6031. We need to update that to update the calendar with the current time.
// add
acf.newDateTimePicker = function( $input, args ){
// bail ealry if no datepicker library
if( typeof $.timepicker === 'undefined' ) {
return false;
}
// defaults
args = args || {};
// NEW - Remember date/time
$date = args.altField[0].value;
// initialize (This wipes the datetime in inline mode)
$picker = $input.datetimepicker( args );
// update to current datetime with the value 2 lines above.
$picker.datetimepicker('setDate', (new Date($date)) );
// wrap the datepicker (only if it hasn't already been wrapped)
if( $('body > #ui-datepicker-div').exists() ) {
$('body > #ui-datepicker-div').wrap('<div class="acf-ui-datepicker" />');
}
};
We effectively store the datetime before we initialise the datetimepicker and then update it once it’s created.
Now you should have an embedded calendar.
No customisation required.
Couple of gotchas:
- Remember to hard-reload and clear cache to reload the new JS.
- The acf-input.min.js gets loaded by default, you can test the
acf-input.js
by updating the/includes/assets.php
file and theenqueue_script
location OR just define the constantSCRIPT_DEBUG
to use the non-minified version.
