This patch is a starting point for making a usable UI for the date types. Loads of problems still exist however.

Known issues:

  • Day seems to be offset by -1 after going through format_date
  • Time zone support is nonexistant
  • Multiple values support is nonexistant
  • Dependency on timestamp conflicts with the underlying ISO 8601 storage format

This patch is looking for developers to adopt it and work on it... I don't expect to be able to follow up on it.

I'm not sure whether to mark this as a duplicate or not, so I'll leave it, but just in case you missed it, you should also be aware of the patch by KarenS in http://drupal.org/node/50062. She did some very nice work: multiple widgets, including an optional jscalendar, etc. Unfortunately, the patches in #19 and #25 no longer apply and there has been no recent feedback from JonBob (has anyone seen him recently?).

Apparently, from the discussion at http://groups.drupal.org/node/731, the issue of what format to use for the date field in the database is still rather unsettled. Seems that's the first thing to nail down.

Let's leave the status as is, for now. Marking as duplicate is as good as forgotten, and there are a couple juicy bits that could be harvested from my work in the worst case.

Since there is now a separate project for the date module (http://www.drupal.org/project/date) I'm going to go ahead and close this issue.
