CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I am using the hook "civicrm_searchTasks" to add a date field for the user. I am adding the date field as follows:

function buildQuickForm( ){
  $this->addDate('membership_startdate', ts('Start Date'), false, array( 'formatType' => 'custom' ), true );

}


Then in my tpl file:

  <td>{$form.membership_startdate.html}</td>



The field shows up as a plain input field. The usual date selection widget is not shown.  The same  $this->addDate(...) syntax works fine in my custom search, but it does not work inside this custom action.
