onchange Event for birthdate

[lenz1979]

Hello!

I need to implement an onchange event for the birthdate field in the contacts.

using sugar 5.2 and the following editveidefs.php part:

         3 => 
        array (
          0 => 
          array (
            'name' => 'birthdate',
            'label' => 'LBL_BIRTHDATE',
            'tabindex' => '5',
            'displayParams' => 
            array (
              'javascript' => 'onchange="alert(this.value);"',
            ),
          ),
          1 => NULL,
        ), 
  

But it does not work.

maybe you can help what i have to change.

thanks

found a solution.

had to add "{{$displayParams.javascript}}" in the EditView.tpl of the Datetime field

Rather than editing the templates, I add the onchange event in javascript after the page has loaded

 document.getElementById('fieldname').onchange = function(){ myFunction(); }; 
  

Note: This is javascript, not PHP code as the heading says

Hi lenz1979, try this. This worked very well for me. If you need to call a function from another file you can include that file in the editviewdes.php file. The external file should be added in the templateMeta array

'javascript' => '<script type="text/javascript" src="modules/Contacts/Contacts.js"></script>
0 =>
array (
'name' => 'birthdate',
'label' => 'LBL_BIRTHDATE',
'tabindex' => '5',
'displayParams' =>
array (
'field' =>
array (
'onChange' => 'alert(\’Happy Birthday\’);',
),
),
),
