JSCalendar is a great improvement over the standard dropdown menus for date entry, but the new jQuery date selector coming soon in Date API 2.0 looks even better.

It would be awesome if the Event module could take advantage of this once it is available.

More info from the Date API 2.0-rc2 release notes:

A new Date Popup module creates a jQuery popup calendar date picker and time picker, and the element is available to other modules as a form type of 'date_popup'.

Title: Make use of Date API 2.x jQuery popup date selector » Integrate jQuery popup date selector
Version: 5.x-2.x-dev » 6.x-2.x-dev

I am indeed looking for a new jQuery plugin to use for D6 since JSCalendar got discontinued. Not sure I will use the same as date though.

yes, Event is a great module - sure seems odd that it is missing popup calendar.

Need this too.
Here is a suggested work around:

Install Date.module.
Create a content type that has Event Properties "show in event calendar"
Then use the Date to make date field with popup cal.

Will this work or am I missing something? I'm going to try it.
Can anyone see any flaws?
How about with OG calendars, too?

Thanks,
k

The patch from #7 was not against a clean event.module 6.x-2.x-dev. Here is one that will work.

I don't like being a dummy, but attempting to use a js date picker has turned into a full time job.. lol. I have found many instructions for doing this.. But they lead me back to --that didn't work, start over, search again-- Maybe a datepicker module would help us noobs..
I have been searching for the datepicker module, but it returns 'page not found'. Am i looking for the wrong item?
http://drupal.org/project/datepicker
thanks for any insight on this.. dave
