NT & jQuery Time Picker Plugin

[Robert Iliuta]

Hallo!


Anyone implemented a time picker in NT?
Something like this: https://www.sitepoint.com/10-jquery-time-picker-plugins/

My users complain about that is hard to enter manually the time and would be much easy to select.

ps - maybe it will be great to have in NT a time picker :-)

Thank you for any suggestions/help.

seriously?

>>seriously?
I'm trying to make their life easy...and yes they complain it's confusing sometimes when they enter time and also reported that on safari it's not working as expected.
Didn't tested on Safari, but for me on chrome and firefox works good.
They ask me: If it's possible to select a date why not a time? ...

This is why I'm trying to implement a time picker :-)

If I read this correctly then I would do something like Apple Do on a phone.

Time is made up of spin boxes or drop boxes for Hours and Minutes and then join to a hidden time field.

Hi Robert,

I have the same issue with time entry. Most web sites are getting the visitors used to using drop downs.

My solution may not work for your situation. However, I find that if you build your own dropdown with a list of times works best, both on a desktop and a mobile device. In our case the times are always in 15 minute increments, therefore a regular NT dropdown is all we need. The Jquery scripts in this URL look nice on a desktop browser. However, you should consider how they will work on a mobile device. I didn't like any of them using a mobile device.

Hallo Bijan,

Your solutions is smart and I implemented.
Time looks very nice in a dropdown list for both desktop and mobile. (I don't use mobile for this app, but just in case)

Thank you!
