Marked critical because no one can install the Date Picker module without date.js.

This Drupal message contains a broken link: "Missing Date jQuery plugin. Please download the Date jQuery plugin and extract it to your datepicker module directory."

This also is broken:
http://code.google.com/p/datejs/downloads/list

I found some help at the bottom of this thread and this thread, but these are also dead ends.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks Hutch! That appears to be it.

I'm changing the category to "task" as a link still needs to get in the module (and in the README.txt file). I wonder if it would be better to include the three needed files in the module and then provide a stern warning in the README and on the Modules page that the user should check for the latest version of each.

At least that way end-users wouldn't be stranded like I was. But then I'm not too familiar with Drupal best practices...

Cheers!

I suppose that 'best practice' would be to to Drupalise the code so that it uses Drupal's javascript behaviors and then provide a min and a packed version for production use.

Personally I would rather see a datepicker that has active support used, eg

Just got the same error https://skitch.com/arianek/fedtg/status-report-redberry-art-saskatchewan... it should be linking to http://datejs.googlecode.com/files/date.js I think, as adding that file made the status error go away.

Was contemplating trying to roll a patch (good practice for contrib + git patching) but can't find the string - any ideas?

See README.txt for more info.', array('!download' => l(t('download the Date jQuery plugin'), 'http://jqueryjs.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/plugins/methods/date.js')));
