  • 0

I am trying to add a dateTime edit box in an xPage and I would like to show the date and time
with a specific pattern that I define. The pattern is “MMM d, yyyy HH:mm”. The date and time
appear in the desirable format when I open the xPage. The problem is caused when I select the checkbox “Use date/time picker pop-up”. After this change, the time is not displayed correctly. It is always 00:00. Is this a bug? Or do I need to configure differently the edit box in order to use the pattern I want and be able to add a data/time picker properly?

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot for your time!

    Yes, it’s bug. I have reported it to IBM support.

    You could use ExtLib Dojo Date and Time controls. There the problem is that there is a separate control for Date and Time and there is no built in way to save them in same item on document. You can do it with some SSJS though.

    I have used a reqular Date/Time Edit Box ja ExtLib Dojo Time Text Box. The edit box is set to show date only and bound to my Date/Time field on datasource form. The Dojo Time Text Box gets its default value from the same Date/Time item on document.

    In data source querySaveDocument event I have this code which adds the time to the date selected in date edit box:

    // When time field is empty we get Java Date.
var dtDate:java.util.Date = getComponent("inpDT").getValue();
var dtTime = getComponent("djTime").getValue();
if (typeof dtTime == "lotus.domino.local.DateTime") dtTime = dtTime.toJavaDate()

// Combine date and time.
if (dtDate != null && dtTime != null) { 
    var dtDateTime:NotesDateTime = session.createDateTime(dtDate);
    dtDateTime.setLocalTime(dtTime.getHour(), dtTime.getMinute(), 0, 0);
    dominoDocument.replaceItemValue("DT", dtDateTime);
}
