You can use the datepicker that's included in jquery ui by adding first adding a class to your input textbox like:

<input type="text" name="some_date" class="datepicker" value=""/>

then in your javascript add something like:

$(document).ready(function(){
   $('.datepicker').datepicker();
});

now when the user places the cursor in this textbox a date box should appear.

Hi cleverington,

By standard C5 form do you mean the form block?

That was my hope. I am not a great techie, so if I could get a datepicker working with the standard form block that would be fantastic.

I made such a package. It works without errors. Will distribute it for free. Will probably upload it the next weeks, since I'm under heavy stress atm with work school and projects.

Been trying to do this all day... not sure what to do... got close but still no cigar. If you could provide more info that would be fantastic! There seems to be no tutorials on how to modify the standard form for those of us who have just begun diving into the epicness of C5!
Thanks!!!

Edit: Oh snap just realized this is such an old thread!

When I add a datepicker in a block I use:

<div class="ccm-block-field-group">
   <h2>Date</h2>
   <?php echo Loader::helper('form/date_time')->date('date_field', $date_field); ?>
</div>

Thanks Erik,
That's when you're using an external / custom form, not the included form block, correct?
The standard C5 form It does everything I need except date and time, or at least date. I didn't want to drop $30 on the extended form if I could just enable this functionality on the included form block, but am still trying to wrap my head around how to implement it...

I can manage to get the datepicker to show up in the form, but it shows up in the form without selecting it in the menu, and it doesn't seem to pass on the value to the finished form...

Anyone have any more thoughts on how I can make this work?
