Dashboard2: Month/Week Picker not working?

Dashboard
1

Hello: I am trying to use the "month" or "week" picker using the text input node. When configured as a date picker or datetime picker, it shows the drop down calendar as expected. When using it as a time picker, it will show the time and only allow a valid time to be picked. However, when configured as a month or week picker, it does nothing and behaves as a text input field.

I looked at the Flowfuse documentation and it says that the month/week are valid modes. However the examples on this page (FlowFuse Dashboard) show the same behavior as note above. I also searched here for month/week picker functionality but all that I found was related to Dashboard 1.

Is month/week picker functionality not available as yet and do I have to use ui-template? Any other options?

Thanks for your help.

They are HTML5 input elements & work fine in most browsers:

Are you using Safari or Firefox?

Yes, using Safari - I guess that's the issue then. Any workaround?

Any workaround?

Of course. Dont use Internet Explorer Safari (for fun ;))

  • Build your own in a ui-template node
  • Just use a text box instead of a proper picker and let users type in a week / month
  • use a dropdown (filled with month names / week numbers)
  • use a better browser (this is the obvious one, but I appreciate you might have other users)

Of course you could just wait a little longer - other browsers have supported this since ~2012 so it is probably coming to Safari any time now.

Probably go down this route...but wondering if I'm going to run into the same issue with HTML5 and will have to resort to drop down lists (yuck).

:rofl:

Thanks for your help :folded_hands:t3:

I ended up by going down the drop down route as the month/week pickers would not work in ui-template either. Unfortunately, Safari (MacOS) is my browser of choice....:man_shrugging:t2:
