Issue Summary

Hi,
I would like users to be able to select multiple dates in CCK (both simple dates and ranges of dates with "from" and "to"), but my current solution is to use a "Date" field with unlimited values. But it is not user-friendly at all!
I would like to know if it would be possible to "tick" dates (and maybe use a drag selection) in a little calendar, instead of having to type the dates...
Thank you
Max

Please! up!
I've found Availability Calendars module, but
(1) you still have to select each and every day separately
(2) it's impossible to make a research with those availability criteria, since it's not a CCK field

We're also willing to start developing exactly this feature but we need some help from the moderators / authors of Date module.

UI-wise something like this, I guess...

Hi,

I think this feature is also something I'm after, but I'd like to confirm by explaining my problem first!

I'm making a site with a timetable of yoga events on it, we have classes 3 times a day.

Currently I have 3 different events, for the different times, with an end date of a year later ..

What I'd like to do is create 1 event, using 1 date field that can handle multiple date ranges, e.g.

'every day at 9am'
AND 'every day at '1pm'
And 'every friday at 6pm'

which has no end date, it just goes on forever and ever and ever ..

I think my feature request is inline with what mysteriousfea has requested, so I've mentioned it here rather than open up another ticket?
