First, I need to download the <a href="http://drupal.org/project/date" title="Date module on Drupal.org">Date</a> module, and make my module dependent on date_popup by adding the following line into my module's .info file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
dependencies[] = date_popup
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Within my form builder function:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
~~~php
|
||
|
|
$form['date'] = array(
|
||
|
|
'#title' => t('Arrival date'),
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// Provided by the date_popup module
|
||
|
|
'#type' => 'date_popup',
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// Uses the PHP date() format - http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php
|
||
|
|
'#date_format' => 'j F Y',
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// Limits the year range to the next two upcoming years
|
||
|
|
'#date_year_range' => '0:+2',
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// Default value must be in 'Y-m-d' format.
|
||
|
|
'#default_value' => date('Y-m-d', time()),
|
||
|
|
);
|
||
|
|
