Compatiblity with CCK and Date modules

This module currently only supports Drupal core. It will be added in future versions.

Good news
I'm going to need this feature for one of my recent projects. so there is a great chance to share with the community soon.

sine: please share your current consequence to involve us in development not just in use.
I'm new to drupal, but I think we should start from one of the following:
1- any hack on date_api.module
2- keep original date_api.module and change other modules come with dat_api
3- change both date_api and other modules
change may be in:
1- functions body
2- input
3- output

Just like any Drupal module there are many areas you can help. Contribution usually happens via patch. For example you can start date module's compatibility and submit your patch here. Then i can help you to improve that patch and finally submit it.

I'm very interested in CCK,Date module compatibility, but didn't have the time to have a look at it yet. What we need right now is to find the functions responsible for representing/formating Date in text/validation/storing.

I know the developers of both CCK and Date module (@yched & @KarenS). If we write a good patch i'm pretty much sure i can convince them to include it in the next release.

tnx for fast answers, I'll try to become expert in module development and become one of your undergraduate if you accept me :D

Well i'm still learning myself :) , also i'm looking for a Iranian Drupal Developer, if you can improve your skills i might have a job for you. Send me an email and share with me what you have learn so far if you're interested.

There is an effort by @farshid to make it happen http://drupal.org/node/721590#comment-4723910
However his module is too complicated and non generic and requites some refactoring before i can include it in calendar systems but all the same it's extremely useful , hope he has time to help me out

Is it possible to ask other expert Drupal developers to help for this compatibly with Date and Calendar modules?
I think there are many people waiting for this feature and it's more than 2 years we don't see any progress.
Thanks

Getting third-party modules integration done is not a hard work and does not need any kinda special expertise. The problem here is time, we both have day jobs (me, night job as well!!) and unfortunately there were not a single community patch contributed to the project, what do you expect? :)

@Sepehr: In this case can you please request some other developers to help? If others help, this job would be done soon.

One of the benefits of being in a opensource community is that there's no proprietorship, any kinda contribution including bugfixes, features, docs are welcomed everywhere, no matter who! Unfortunately I donno anyone personally.

Moving to 3.x roadmap

Closing , there is separate issues for each of these modules

hi,
I develop a module that provide a widget for persian date for text field type.
I want to expand this widget to date field and add a display-formatter for that (because the stored date must be georgian) , but i don't know is it useful enough or not?

Yes it's very useful, but it's better if you make it compatible with integer and date module's iso and unix field types.

I work for Drupalion team, and we decide to develop a module that support persian date for date and calendar module .
We glad to use calendar_system as dependency of that, but we don't know how?
Can you explain shortly, we must start from where to do that?

This is not related to this issue, open a new issue if you need any support.
You can always read the README.txt that comes with the module for more details.

date module support has been implemented,
new dev snapshot should be available shortly
