Thread

I’m running EE 2.3.1 and have a channel which stores entries from CartThrob. I’ve been in contact with them, and they are saying the error I’m experiencing isn’t coming from CartThrob so I hope you can help. The error is below, currently just have a input with a type of text, inputing a unix timestamp (1335963600).

Also the Date is correct in the CMS, but get the error at the top of the entry.

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined index: y
Filename: libraries/Localize.php
Line Number: 475

Also I’ve take some of the code from a page that has a safe cracker form and added the jQuery UI Datepicker used by EE, and added it to this form. Have it working on the front end. When I select a date, it displays in the input like (2012-05-17 1:04 PM). But when I submit that entry, I still get the PHP error above, but the date is being displayed in the channel entry like (1970-01-01 01:33 AM).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Phil,

Sorry for the trouble you are having here!

Let me make sure I’ve got the scenario straight.

You have a channel, that you are using for CartThrob.

In that channel you have a *plain* text input fieldtype, not a date fieldtype.

When you submit and entry via the Control Panel, you see the error, but via SafeCracker the entry submits. However, the date is wrong and you *still* see the error when viewing that entry in the Control Panel.

Did I cove all the bases?

So, with the above, why are you using a text input vs. a date type? It shouldn’t matter, but I just want to get the scenario straight.

Will you share the SafeCracker template and the HTML output of that template? I’d like to see what we should expect vs. what we are getting.

Cheers,

No, I’m sorry I worded that incorrectly, it is a date fieldtype. And I’m not using SafeCracker just the checkout form from CartThrob. My mention of SafeCracker was just in the fact I want my input for my date field to work like a SafeCracker form with the jQuery UI Datepicker. Thanks.

Hi Phil,

No worries!

First, I’ve only ever had luck with the datepicker showing up on entry date fields, never have been able to get it to work on custom date fields.

If it *will* work, you will need to make sure that jQuery and jQuery UI are loaded for this template. Also, be sure to include the SAEF assets if you wish for it to be styled.

If that doesn’t sort it out, you might need to look at a custom solution.

Cheers,

Dan,

My issue wasn’t with getting Datepicker to work, I had that working just fine. My issue was getting an error (First Post) when my fieldtype was set to date, I ended up changing my fieldtype to text, and just inserting the date into that field which gets rid of the error, would still like to know why when I try to submit a date to a fieldtype of date, I get the above error. Thanks.

Hey Phil,

Looking this one over again, it would seem to be an incompatibility with the date field type and the submission that the CartThrob form is making.

Have you contacted them with this question as well?

Cheers,

Dan,

Contacting CartThrob was the first thing that I did, never figured out why… but using plain text field is working just fine for me. You can mark this as closed. Thanks.
