Hi there,

I have noticed that a date field is not correctly validated if entered manually (not via the calendar icon)

I have fixed that by adding the following code to the xxx_form.php file, just below the <?php $fieldset = ...

<script>
jQuery.validationEngineLanguage.allRules.date = {
    "regex" : /^(0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[\/\-](0[1-9]|1[012])[\/\-]\d{4}$/,
    "alertText" : '<span class="msg-prefix">• </span>Incorrect value'
};
</script>

This requires the field to be in dd-mm-yyyy or dd/mm/yyyy

Also, the field has to be extended.
You can do that by forking the form.xml:

		<field name="fieldname"
				alias="fieldname"
				label="LABEL"
				filter="STRING"
				type="ckcalendar"
				format="d-m-Y"
				required="true"
				placeholder="dd-mm-yyyy"
				class="validate[required,custom[date]]"/>

Extra is: placeholde and class part (required can be omitted for non required fields)

I jumped and started to work on a demo component... but 2 days later this demo component became the real component. I just showed today the end result to my customer and he turned to me and said... "this is more than I expected"... All of this is because Cook did cut about 70% of my work and provided me more ways to improve the usability of the component. The end result was 17 tables all related between than to generate a full dashboard for the travel agents. Thanks for Cook developers for such great tool. This component would not be possible to be done at short time with all the features in it
