using minical in custom form

Scheduler Javascript
#1

Hello, I wanted to know if there were a better way to get the value of the current time, parse it using the scheduler’s build-in date parsing functionality, and then insert into the input textbox? So far I got it working, but it outputs the full date:

Wed May 30 2012 00:00:00 GMT-0300 (Atlantic Daylight Time)

I would like to only grab ‘May 30 2012’ from the string above. Any ideas? Here’s a code snippet that I modified a little from the example provided in samples folder:

function show_start_minical(input) { if (scheduler.isCalendarVisible()) scheduler.destroyCalendar(); else scheduler.renderCalendar({ position:"start_shift", date:scheduler._date, navigation:false, handler:function(date, calendar){ input.value = date; scheduler.destroyCalendar(); } }); }

var format = scheduler.date.date_to_str("%m %d %Y"); function show_start_minical(input) { if (scheduler.isCalendarVisible()) scheduler.destroyCalendar(); else scheduler.renderCalendar({ position:"start_shift", date:scheduler._date, navigation:false, handler:function(date, calendar){ input.value = format(date); scheduler.destroyCalendar(); } }); }

You can adjust format, which defined on the first line

Thanks! That was the solution I was looking for.
