In Germany we don't have this, we use 24h. I think it will be nice to have an checkbox option under the "Field Label/Field Type" called something like "use seconds" and "use AM/PM". However, thanks for the wonderful script.

You'll find this code: <code>$target_input['element_time_no_meridiem']=@date("G:i:s",strtotime($target_input['element_time']));</code> <code></code> Replace that line with this one: <pre><code>if(!empty($user_input[$element_name])){ $target_input['element_time_no_meridiem'] = @date("G:i:s",strtotime($target_input['element_time'])); }</code></pre> <code></code> If that doesn't work either, I'll need to directly check your server. vrenda on "Take the "Seconds" option out of the "Time" element" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/take-the-seconds-option-out-of-the-time-element#post-455 Mon, 17 Dec 2007 21:34:13 +0000 vrenda 455@https://www.machform.com/forums/ After we did this, the form is processed but the email sent has the blank time defaulted with 7:00am. yuniar on "Take the "Seconds" option out of the "Time" element" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/take-the-seconds-option-out-of-the-time-element#post-451 Mon, 17 Dec 2007 15:43:11 +0000 yuniar 451@https://www.machform.com/forums/ Oh, you are absolutely right! Sorry that was my fault. Ok, change this line: <code>$user_input[$element_name_3] = '00';</code> With this one: <pre><code>if(!empty($user_input[$element_name])){ $user_input[$element_name_3] = '00'; }</code></pre> vrenda on "Take the "Seconds" option out of the "Time" element" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/take-the-seconds-option-out-of-the-time-element#post-448 Mon, 17 Dec 2007 08:00:33 +0000 vrenda 448@https://www.machform.com/forums/ This work for me unless the time was left blank.

Notepad is not so good for this. If you don't have any other text editor, I suggest to use WordPad and just ignore the warning it says (remove all formating..etc). Even better, you might want to use this powerful editor: <a href="http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm" rel="nofollow">http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm</a> It's free and very good.

While it does delete the seconds column, there is an error at the top of the page when viewing the form and the header is not correct. It has something to do with the includes/view-functions.php file when I change it. The error goes away and the seconds come back when I put the code back in for <input id="element_{$element->id}_3" name="element_{$element->id}_3" class="element text " size="2" type="text" maxlength="2" value="{$element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_3']['default_value']}"/> <label>SS</label> yuniar on "Take the "Seconds" option out of the "Time" element" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/take-the-seconds-option-out-of-the-time-element#post-273 Mon, 12 Nov 2007 05:28:55 +0000 yuniar 273@https://www.machform.com/forums/ More people are asking this one, so I'll definitely provide an option to remove the seconds field. For now, please follow the instruction below: Modify your includes/view-functions.php file. Search around line 705 (inside display_time() function), you'll find this code: <pre><code> <input id="element_{$element->id}_3" name="element_{$element->id}_3" class="element text " size="2" type="text" maxlength="2" value="{$element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_3']['default_value']}"/> <label>SS</label> </code></pre> <code></code> Remove that code. After that, modify includes/post-functions.php, search around line 354, look for these code: <pre><code>$element_name_2 = substr($element_name,0,-1).'2'; $element_name_3 = substr($element_name,0,-1).'3'; $element_name_4 = substr($element_name,0,-1).'4';</code></pre> <code></code> Right under those lines, add the code below: <pre><code>$user_input[$element_name_3] = '00';</code></pre> <code></code> This way, the seconds would be default to 00. Let me know if you have any difficulty.

I need to use the element but just hours and minutes.
