Last Week i had a customer requirement for an easy method to enter a date, but only month and year.
Using the Date Picker Item it wasn’t possible to show a popup without the days, so I began a search and found a month picker jQuery Plugin.
Using that it was easy to create an APEX Plugin with simple settings:
Download
Get the Plugin at apex-plugin.com or try a demo over here at first.
bei Apex4.0 und IE 9 funktioniert das Popup nicht – nur bei Firefox. Aber Apex sollte meiner Ansicht bei allen Browsern funktionieren. Habe auch die Site auf popup erlauben gesetzt – kein Erfolg
Hi Schwab,
i just checked. For me it works in IE9 under Win7.
Do you get any errors?
Hi Peter,
What does the plugin return?
I worked with the plugin and used it in a where statement in my query.
I used the ‘/’ seperator and in my query used to_char(date,’mm/yyyy’).
My query doesn’t give me an answer.

Raoul,
what exactly are you trying to do?
How are you using the Plugin in a Query?
It’s an Item Plugin that displays a field with a month picker and stores a DATE according to your format.
Hi Peter,
Tnx for the answer. It fixed my issue.
Now I see something strange. When I use the month picker and pass the value in the picker to a hidden item in another page the ‘/’ gets substituted with ‘%2F’. I guess thats the html url encoding.
Currently I just replace it again in the new page with the ‘/’.
But is it possible to pass the value as is?
For example: 02/2012 becomes 02%2F2012, can it be 02/2012 to 02/2012
Tnx,
Raoul
Hi Peter,
Just as month-picker, I came to know about a jquery plugin date-time-picker when one of the OTN forum members @Andrew Tulley put a question about its implementation in Oracle APEX.
https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2368374&tstart=375
Here is example link of date-time-picker:

With custom-built HTML page and including the downloaded jquery UI the above add-on is working fine, but when put to test in Oracle APEX I was not able to work it out even after including the required js and css files!
Please refresh my thought process on this.

Kiran
