vb.org Archive - how do I add date picker functionality on template ?

I've only got so far. I'll post what I've done when I get home.

Basically I've saved the projects page and stripped out everything apart from the calendar popup.

I now know the code and files to call to get it working.

However it doesn't work when I put these changes onto my board.

The reason is that the board version I am running is 3.6.7PL1 and the one on the projects page is newer I think so the files I'm calling ( date_picker.js etc ) are different.

I got stuck trying to see which files were different.

Have you got it working ? Am I looking at this in far too much detail ?

heres what I have so far.

HTML Code:

However these are using the files from the projects page, when I try to substitute the 3.6.7PL1 files I cannot get it to work.

Any ideas ?
