CS Form - Date picker validation not working in slot

Beta
#1

Hi @charlie

I’m back on forms again trying to get a validation check working on a date picker.
There maybe complications due to using a slot for sections of the form (see screenshots)

I have tried as much as possible to make sure the same date format is being used (Y-m-d) for both the date field and the validation check but no matter what date is chosen the validation fails

I vaguely remember something about a fix for date checking, but I am on the latest version of pro, & cornerstone forms

Any ideas?

I see what you mean. I’m not sure what happened there. I think if you turned off frontend validations you could probably still have a working form. I’ll get a fix for the date picker frontend validations in the next release of Forms. Have a great day.

A quick question for those using cs forms, I am trying and failing to get the ‘Loading Area’ to load when I click a form submit. I have tried in the form element, outside the form element. What stupid thing am I doing or not doing? I can get a thank you message to load on completion but the actual submission takes too long for my liking for me to leave the web visitor hanging, hence want to use the loading area to indicate that stuff is happening

Hi @charlie
thanks for the latest bug fixes, did you see my question about the loading area above?

The AJAX is going to load slower if there are no “Change Selectors”. When there are no selectors it will replace the whole page which is usually just really slow. I would set a selector as #SelfReferral for the first tab as an example. That way it’ll replace that whole form area. When I try that the Load Area does seem to load. Does that help you out?

That worked beautifully! Thank you @charlie
also good to know how the change selector works. The form now ‘submits’ so much quicker which is a double win

Thanks again
