Date field that supports dates with and without times (all day events)

EDIT:

you can still add "all day" events by putting the time on 00:00

true, just to say the functionality is still in there...
i tried to add a checkbox for it with jquery, but somehow Date Popup interfered with my code.
so in my case, to make it user friendly, i did a form alter that changes the default value of the field to 00:00 if "to" date is empty (i.e. on new nodes)

it's not ideal, and i have to instruct the users that it means "all day"..

Do you have a code example perhaps?

@advp

you could put this in a custom module called custom_event

function custom_event_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
	if($form_id == 'events_node_form') {
		global $language;
		if(empty($form['field_event_date'][$language->language][0]['#default_value']['value2'])) {
			$form['field_event_date'][$language->language][0]['#default_value']['value'] = date('Y-m-d 00:00:00',time());
		}
		drupal_set_message(t('Events starting at 00:00 are "All Day" events'));
	}
} 

should work. (change the form_id to the id of your form)

Thank you so much. I was on the right track but the details were wrong.
