Hi

Would it be possible to show (and validate) the date field, to show and allow only future dates in the field?

Looked at Joomla Calander documentation ( docs.joomla.org/Calendar_form_field_type ) - no future date option there. I've created a custom rule under models called futuredate, that will test the date and return false if date is in the past, but this is server side validation, and is only called on submission. If validation fails, user has to go back and fill out/submit the form again. Not the best user experience.

You can validate a future date like this:

- copy the xml file of the form to your fork/model/forms/table.xml
- remove all fields except the one you want to validate
- add class="validate[future[now]]" to the parameters
- fork the form.php (table_form.php or so)
- add code outside the php tags:
<script>
jQuery.validationEngineLanguage.allRules.future = {
    "alertText" : '<span class="msg-prefix">• </span>Select a date after '
};
</script>

Something like that should work

This is what you call a component builder. I was able to master using this in a very short time and the resulting component works like a charm. Not just a basic component builder but a fully working component builder with forms fields tables all ready to go. You can make the list and item views to display in the front and back end. Also there is a great forum just starting to evolve and I'm sure this will grow very rapidly when you all realise how good this tool is.
