null [value] output when no date is filled out

Kindly post your URL as well so we can see how is it behaving. Thank you.

thank you Fahad
This is the url: mind-your-business.nu

The only thing I need:
when the user does not fill out a date, [my-date] should output null

So the value null

How can this be done please ?

@booly66 actually this should be handled through a WordPress filter hook when you are submitting the form. Our plugin is turning your simple input type text field into a calendar field. After submission, we are not filtering the results. Technically it would be a different side of the implementation. At this moment we are playing with UI, as per your requirements, we have to code for server side.

Alternatively, we can set a default value null on submit button click event. Would that be a good thing for other users as well? If yes, we can think about it in upcoming versions. If you will mention a default value for empty field so on submit empty field will set to null. How do you want to proceed? In both cases, it would be a new feature request.

a default value null on submit button event would be awesome ! Is this done by simple jQuery ?
Now, when nothing is filled out, there is nothing output from [my-date] and this can break other systems connected to the form which freak out with an internal server error.

I’d love to be your guinea pig for this, Fahad ??

@booly66 correct, it can be achieved with simple jQuery. I have noted it as a feature request already. Thank you so much, in case you are in hurry so I can provide you a snippet of JS. Else please wait and soon you will get a new version with this option.

I would be very grateful for that codesnippet, that I can easily inject in the form page ??

@booly66 are you good in code? If I can provide you pseudo code? Because to provide you a perfect one, I need to test and at this moment I am working on something really urgent.

Hi,

I wrote and tested this code, and it works like a charm ??

jQuery(window).load(function ()  {

$("form").submit(function(){
   var $input = $(this).find("input.dp-field");
   if (!$input.val()) {
     $input.val("null");
   }
});

	
	
});

@booly66 awesome, that is what I was expecting from you. Great help my friend.
