swalker286Asked on November 4, 2015 at 6:16 PM
I would like to create a calendar where the user can select multiple dates in the entire year calendar, then have the form calculate how many total days are selected.
I started messing around with the plain check box option, but in order to get the days to line up it's just messy.
Any help is appreciate.

Hi there,
To make your users can select more than one date, you can use "Date Reservation" widget. By following the instructions below, you can easily add this widget to your form.
On the settings screen for that widget, you can increase the selectable date number.
This will shows the dates selected; but it won't count the total days between the selected dates.
I hope this solution will work for you. If you need extra information, please let us know.
Thanks.

Hi Sara,
You can calculate days between dates; but you can do it with "Date Reservation" widget.
To do this,
You need more than one "DateTime" fields and "Form Calculation" widget.
First of all, you need disable "Allow Time" option for "DateTime" fields. This will make the fields collect only the Date not the Time. With that, we can subtract the Date fields from each other.
The calculation on the "Form Calculation" widget is going to be like the following:
I hope this one helps you. For further assistance, you can always reach us.
Have a nice day.

I need a full year calendar showing. They select/check the dates. It counts days selected.

Hi again,
Actually, you can view the full year on "DateTime" field in second solution.
However, if you want to choose multiple date on the same calendar, you need to use the "Date Reservation" widget; but it will not calculate the days between dates. Unfortunately, you can't calculate the days with the widget.

There is no such a widget where you can see the entire year at a glance, you can see different years with the Date picker widget
But you cannot select dates as in the Reservation widget.
We might add this as a feature request, but there is no ETA for when this can be implemented.
