Datepicker for Contact Form 7 Wordpress Plugin based on jsDatePick script.

== Description ==

Implements a new **[date]** tag in Contact Form 7 that adds a date field to a form. When clicking the field a calendar pops up enabling your site visitors to easily select any date. Now you can use the [datepicker] shortcode outside of CF7.
To use, just insert the **[date your-field-name]** or **[date* your-required-field-name]** to any form in Contact Form 7 edit area where you want users to input a date.

This plugin is somewhat a fork of [Contact Form 7 Calendar](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cf7-calendar/) by [harrysudana](http://profiles.wordpress.org/users/harrysudana/).

== Installation ==

Please follow the [standard installation procedure for WordPress plugins](http://codex.wordpress.org/Managing_Plugins#Installing_Plugins).

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How to use the [date] and [date*] tags in CF7? =

These shortcodes have the same syntax as any other CF7 text input field shortcode
`[date name_of_field (id:id_of_field class:classes_of_field integer_size/integer_maxlength "value")]`

If you do not provide an **id:** the plugin will use the **name_of_field**. Everything between the parenthesis is optional (do not include parenthesis, I've wrapped everything in parenthesis just to mark attributes that are optional).  

= Can I use the datepicker outside of CF7? =

Yes you can! Just use the new **[datepicker]** shortcode for that.
`[datepicker name="name_of_field" (id="id_of_field" class="classes_of_field" newfield="true/false" value="YYYY-MM-DD")]`

Again, everything wrapped between parenthesis is optional.

	- **name**: name of the input field you want to append the datepicker to
	- **id**: id of the input field you want to append the datepicker to
	- **class**: the CSS classes of the input field
	- **newfield**: specify weather you are appending to an existing input field (false) or create a new input field to append to (true) (default value is true)
	- **value**: the preselected value of the input field
	
If you choose to append to an already existent input field (**newfield**="false"), I recommend you use both name and id (both with the values of the existing input field's attribute values)

For the **value** attribute you can use any date format that can be used as a HTML attribute value, I recommend you use the ISO 8601 (YYYY-MM-DD) date format (ex: 2011-07-30). More info [here](http://php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php#refsect1-function.strtotime-notes)

= Where do I submit a bug? =

You can [open an issue on github](https://github.com/relu/contact-form-7-datepicker/issues) or just contact me via email.

= I've translated this plugin, how can I share my translation? =

You can contact me anywhere and I'll add them to the project :)

        if (function_exists('CF7DatePicker'))

add_action('init', 'cf7dp_enqueues');`
