Magento admin form time field

Question

I am trying to add a time field to an admin form but it does not work:

    $fieldset->addField('sched_time', 'time', array(
      'label'     => Mage::helper('servicemanager')->__('Scheduled Time'),
      'style'     => 'width:45px',
      'class'     => 'required-entry',
      'required'  => true,
      'name'      => 'sched_time',
      'value'  => '09,00,00',
    ));

The problems are as follows:

The data isn't getting stored in the database ('sched_time' is a mysql time field)
'value' doesn't do anything. I need the default value to be set to 09:00:00 (9am)

why you have used `Mage::helper('servicemanager')`? Is `servicemanager` is your module name? — Mohammad Faisal, May 29 '14 at 10:01

You need to write some code manually in your controller's saveAction() method which might look like:

public function saveAction(){
    $id = $this->getRequest()->getParam('id');
    $model = Mage::getModel('module/model')->load($id);
    $time = $this->getRequest()->getParam('sched_time');
    $sched_time = $time[0] . ':' . $time[1] . ':' . $time[2]; //HH:MM:SS
    $model->setData('sched_time', $sched_time);
    $model->save();
}

Hope this will help future visitors!
