Model editor does not display Start Date
Hi Eric, I'm having problems getting the model Edit to work showing the existing Start Date (see attached screenshot).
Also..... Is it possible to have dates edited with a Calendar DatePicker rather than a TextBox?
Any help appreciated.
Regards, Paul
You can create a editor template using the out of the box mvc functionality

Hi Eric, Thanks for getting back to me. re. create a editor template - Does this mean there is a problem with the example application regarding the display/edit of the Start date? I really would like to get the example app working, so any help appreciated. Regards, Paul.

I'll post an example how to do this later today (not at all difficult); not sure if it should be part of the project though. IMO there's no "problem" regarding the editing of datetime fields - it's just not implemented. And since Twitter.Bootstrap doesn't provide a date(time)picker (afaik) it shouldn't be. You can use whatever datetime picker you find fit with this project.
Hi Marjin, I'll keep an eye out for your post. Thanks for getting back to me so soon. Regards, Paul. Date: Sun, 3 Mar 2013 23:20:00 -0800 From: [email protected] To: [email protected] CC: [email protected] Subject: Re: [twitter.bootstrap.mvc] Model editor does not display Start Date (#77)

The HomeInputModel.StartDate
is annotated with DataType.Date
, which renders an input typed Date
. Some browsers render a datepicker, but some others don't. If you want to guarantee a date picker, you can create an editor in ~/Views/Shared/EditorTemplates
named Date.cshtml
and hook this to your preferred datepicker (I chose bootstrap-datepicker). Content of Date.cshtml
:
@model DateTime
@Html.TextBox("", Model, new {@class = "datepicker"})
For more details, see my blog post
@plwade - I don't think support for custom editors should be added to this project. If you agree and the above approach works for you, please close this issue.
