When DateStart is inserted or modified, DueDate is synced with value of DateStart. You can also add additional check...

The following lines are copy/paste from my code

1. In file ../apache/htdocs/include/utils.php under function getOutputHtml() change next lines:
..
{
if( $fieldname != 'birthday' )
$disp_value = getNewDisplayDate();
..
if( $fieldname == 'date_start' ) {

//modified line
$custfld .= '<td width="30%"><input onchange="due_date.value=this.value;" name="'.$fieldname.'" id="jscal_field_'.$fieldname.'" type="text" size="11" maxlength="10" value="'.$disp_value.'"> <img src="themes/'.$theme.'/images/calendar.gif" id="jscal_trigger_'.$fieldname.'">';

}else{

$custfld .= '<td width="30%"><input name="'.$fieldname.'" id="jscal_field_'.$fieldname.'" type="text" size="11" maxlength="10" value="'.$disp_value.'"> <img src="themes/'.$theme.'/images/calendar.gif" id="jscal_trigger_'.$fieldname.'">';
}


THAT'S IT

Ok, in future there will be patch available for this feature.

Hi Ales!

it is a good idea.

A other good option would be:
a custom field types "Date" shold be blank. (Currently is custom field allways current data).

hi ales

good point ! thank for your contribution !

i just want to add a minor fix to this code :
the code works fine except for date & time picker emails
so add the following :

if( ($fieldname == 'date_start') && ($_REQUEST['module']!='Emails'))
$custfld .= '<td width="30%"><input onchange="due_date.value=this.value;" name="'.$fieldname.'" id="jscal_field_'.$fieldname.'" type="text" size="11" maxlength="10" value="'.$disp_value.'"> <img src="themes/'.$theme.'/images/calendar.gif" id="jscal_trigger_'.$fieldname.'">';
else $custfld .= '<td width="30%"><input name="'.$fieldname.'" id="jscal_field_'.$fieldname.'" type="text" size="11" maxlength="10" value="'.$disp_value.'"> <img src="themes/'.$theme.'/images/calendar.gif" id="jscal_trigger_'.$fieldname.'">';

moreover , you can add an easy way to set start_date and due_date to today date
add few lines above this minor fix

if($uitype == 5 || $uitype == 6 || $uitype ==23)
{
$vtlog->logthis("uitype is ".$uitype,'info');

if($value=='')
{
// modif by silverdad to set due_date as today date
//if($fieldname != 'birthday' && $fieldname != 'due_date') $disp_value=getNewDisplayDate();
if($fieldname != 'birthday' ) $disp_value=getNewDisplayDate();
}
else {
$disp_value = getDisplayDate($value);
}

.....

that all !

Hi All,

Exactly... The basic code was new point ... and like silverdad added new stuff .. this are the reasons for my contribution, that all will participate and try/test new code.

Will be back with new stuff :)
