Date picker not working (trying to reorder days)

    Hi there,

    I'm trying to change the date so the popup shows Mon-Sun (rather than Sun-Sat). I added a simple jQuery function (see here - http://pastebin.com/D02PMnmN ) to my header.php file;

    This works, in that it changes the ordering of days on the calendar, however it breaks all the other settings for the calendar. E.g. the date format should be dd/mm/yyyy, but it defaults back to mm/dd/yyyy which causes errors when the form is being submitted (as well as confusing users). Also for some reason the calendar icon beside the textbox disappears.

    Is there a way to change the ordering of days, without affecting other settings?

    The page in question is here - http://flyadriatic.co.nz/quote/ (u: admin, p: password12). The date fields are on page 1 of the form.

    Any assistance is much appreciated!

  2. You will probably have to declare all those parameters again in your custom function which changes the first day of the week. It looks like whatever the old parameters were are lost when you add one to your header.php like this http://pastebin.com/CiEQqPA7

    Coding the path to the calendar.png image is a bad idea and you should use a WordPress function to get the plugin folder and URL. It will work like this, but it's not really the correct way of doing it, and will break if you ever move the site.

    Hi Chris,

    Thanks a lot for your reply - I really appreciate the support.

    Just FYI (and in case other people find this thread), for some reason I had to change the following line to use 'yy' instead of 'yyyy', otherwise it dupliated the year (i.e. after selecting a date it'd show 24/12/20122012).

    Line was:
    dateFormat: "dd/mm/yyyy",

    Changed to:
    dateFormat: "dd/mm/yy",

    Also, for those less technical, the calendar image remains hidden with CSS produced by Gravity Forms, so you'll have to override it with your own CSS.
