Issue Summary
Well strictly speaking I *can* use it there, but then I always get a "The entered publication date is invalid." error message when trying to submit a node with a specified "Publish on" date. Even if I copy the date string from the description/help text for the field.
e.g. j/m/Y
date entered 23/04/2009
--> error!

Currenty only 'dHhmiaAsyY' are supported. This might change with #250210: Integrate the new jquery popup calendar from Date module version 2, because the goal is to use the functions of the date module. But I still don't know if date can handle our requirements.

Ah, thanks. Can I suggest changing the help/description text on the settings page from
The input format for the (un)scheduling time/date. See the date() function for formatting options: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.phpto
The input format for the (un)scheduling time/date. Only formatting options 'dHhmiaAsyY' are supported. See the documentation for the <a href="http://php.net/date">PHP date() function</a> for their definitions: <a href="http://php.net/date">http://php.net/date</a>.or similar?

I was wondering if scheduler could .. or should .. use CCK Date fields and actions...

We are working at it. Dates are supposed to be enter via date text inputs or date popups if available. But there are still issues...

I think I've seen issues about getting the popup to work and more flexible formats #250210: Integrate the new jquery popup calendar from Date module version 2 #314212: A better way to enter dates., I was wondering if ultimately using a fully-fledged CCK field would help with this since then scheduler wouldn't have to worry about any of that stuff, or even storage etc. Maybe there's a separate issue for that which I've not seen. Quite a big change though to how scheduler.module works.

Exactly. If we commit to the date module we should go all the way. I am working at it as my tight schedule permits.
Closing this issue. Please go to #250210: Integrate the new jquery popup calendar from Date module version 2 for further discussion.
