Date Time field - Time entry

FYI, some date and time inputs where mentioned in this topic and its comments. Updated topic intro with quick links.

Problem with time entry:

Fixed.

There are some problems witht his.

Right now in calendar template you may select only one field. This means you can only use range input to set start anв end date. But then there is no time input. It will require 2 fields to enter single date with time in each.

But this is minor problem. Right now we do not have day view by time. Right now day view is simple list of events.

How soon do you need it?

yesterday ... :D

But i am thinking of a different solution now ... i have to do some testing first

Other question would that be a day view per plain or all plains?

FYI, DPcalendar has a nice day-view example.

Actually they are using the FullCalendar (as almost everyone)

Lets see if Sergeys Bootstrap calendar can become an alternative (not only in Cobalt) :D

It is only 6 month project but already has 120 stars and I have daily contributions. I think eventually it should become an alternative. When we add hours view for week and hours view for day.

Since Calendar template requires Date/Time field... it could easily take two fields. 1 for start, 1 for end.

This is the issue. In some cases one field is enough even with range input stile. In time based periods only 2 fields possible.

Thus we have to allow user to chose one parameter or two. I have few ideas how to do that. I only need some time.

BTW, where and how does Date & Time field store a "range"? IMHO, an event list or calendar needs always 2 dates. 1 start date for publish, 1 end date for expire. It also requires the core date override feature. If core dates are not used/overriden, a list view or upcoming events module can´t use the date information. I have to deal with core dates, since date&time is not available for section list sorting etc.

It stores in js_res_record_values as MySQL datetime formated string in 2 different rows with value_index 0 and 1 where 0 is start and 1 is end.

FYI, easy and funny options for time input. Or specifically for day view i.e. hourly appointments etc.
