Calendar.do is not working in Workflow custom_instantiation.cfg

Hi,

I am trying to use Calendar.do as cgi-callout to pick schedule date and time, but its not working. I am getting empty popup. When I refresh the popup I get "Missing required parameter: iw_form_name. Unable to create CalloutProxy." javascript alert. I use below code in custom_instantiation.cfg

<item name="ScheduleDateTime" pathid="ScheduleDateTime">
    <label>Schedule Date and Time</label>
    <text size="20" maxlength="20">
        <cgi-callout url="/iw-cc/DataCapture/Callout/Calendar.do" label="Date&Time" />
    </text>

</item>

Interestingly it works fine when I use the same code in DCT datacapture.cfg. I do not know what I am missing here. Can anybody suggest me how to fix this?

Thank you so much

Hey Vinod,

I cant say what is wrong with your code but for my schedule deployment workflow I am using the below calender code:

<item pathid="Date" name="Date">
        <label>DeploymentDate(MM/DD/YY)</label>
        <description>Enter in MM/DD/YY format</description>		
     <!--    <text required="t" validation-regex="^[0-1][0-9]/[0-3][0-9]/[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]$"> -->
       <text required="t" validation-regex="(0[1-9]|1[0-2])/(0[1-9]|[12]\d|3[01])/(\d{4})">
      <cgi-callout url="/iw-bin/iw_cgi_wrapper.cgi/calendar.ipl" label="Date..." window-features="width=300, height=300,centered,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no"/><default>08/19/2015</default>	    
      </text>
      </item>

and the path for the calendar.ipl is <iw-home>/httpd/iw-bin. Please check if the above code is working for you.

Hi Niraj,

Thanks for your reply.

I tried your code but getting 500 internal error. Looks like path to the calendar.ipl is wrong. I used below path's but did not worked

/iw-bin/iw_cgi_wrapper.cgi/<iw-home/httpd/base/widget/calendar/calendar.ipl

/iw-bin/iw_cgi_wrapper.cgi/iw-cc/base/widget/calendar/calendar.ipl

I searched for "calendar.ipl" ( find . -name "calendar.ipl" ) both in TeamSite and ApplicationContainer folder but did not find that file.

Also does this canlendar widget allow us to choose time?

After going through lot of teamsite blogs I found a below solution to show calendar, but the problem with this widget is I can only choose date but not time.

/*Include Calendar Widget*/
<script><![CDATA[
    var fwContextPath = "/iw-cc";
]]></script>
<script src="/iw-cc/base/widget/calendar/calendar_init.js" language="javascript" type="text/javascript"/>

/*Event Registration*/
IWEventRegistry.addItemHandler("/Config/StagingScheduleTime","onCallout",calendar);

/*JavaScript callout function*/
function calendar(item) {
    function DateCallBack(date) { 
        var dateStr = ("0"+(date.getMonth()+1)).slice(-2)+("0" + date.getDate()).slice(-2) + date.getFullYear() + ("0" + date.getHours()).slice(-2) + ("0" + date.getMinutes()).slice(-2);
        item.setValue(dateStr); 
    }
    var theCalendarWindow = fwShowCalendar("-callback",DateCallBack,"-initialdate",new Date().valueOf());
}

/*Item element for Date*/
<item name="StagingScheduleTime" pathid="StagingScheduleTime" rowcontinue="t">
    <label>Schedule Publish Date</label>
    <text required="f" size="15">
        <cgi-callout label="Date&amp;Time" />
    </text>
</item>

Thanks

Hi Vinod,

For our schedule deployement we have provided the calender widget and for time we have provided a text box so that user can input time in 24hrs format.

what I suggest please use my code and copy and paste the calendar.ipl at path <iw-home>/httpd/iw-bin. It should work.

Thanks,

Thank you so much Niraj.

I think I can go with text boxes for time input for now.

Thanks
