<aui:input> and null date

[Marco Napolitano, modificado hace 11 años.]

Hi all,
I'm using LR 6.1.1 CE and I have an entity with a Date field (called closedDate).
The field is not required and it's defined with this model hints:

<hint-collection name="SEARCHABLE-DATE">
	<hint name="month-nullable">true</hint>
	<hint name="day-nullable">true</hint>
	<hint name="year-nullable">true</hint>
	<hint name="show-time">false</hint>
</hint-collection>
<field name="closedDate" type="Date">
	<hint-collection name="SEARCHABLE-DATE" />
</field>

The field is not required so it's almost always null. But if I render the value with this Alloy taglib (I'm correctly using the model-context tag)

<aui:input name="closedDate" />

the null value is not correctly rendered and the taglib always show now-date.

How can I show a null date?
I mean the 3 combo (day, month and year) must be preselected on empty value.

Tnx
Marco

Hi Marco,

I've hit the same problem in a couple of different places in my application too.

How Liferay deals with it in the web content schedule is like so:

Create the datefields, but also create a toggle function to disable the field - when the article is submitted, the disabled field values do not get passed through.

Look at liferay/src/Lportal611/portal-web/docroot/html/portlet/journal/article/schedule.jsp for more details.

Hope this helps, good luck.

Yeah,
I always did with a checkbox but I'd like to know an alternative way to do that.

Tnx
