Interval Field

Overview

Interval field gives you a simple field and widget to allow users to enter interval values eg

• 2 months
• 3 days
• 4 years

Features

The field comes pre-bundled with one simple formatter and day, week, fortnight, month, quarter and year interval periods.
The available periods can be easily extended by other modules (see interval.api.php for info).

Requirements

• Core field module (obviously)
• Date API (submodule of date).

Known problems

The field has not been tested in a multi-value setup - see #1328036: Test and verify support for multi-value field.

Road Map

At present the module only has a basic formatter but the api is there to support more flexible displays such as relative to the current date/time or an arbitrary date.

News

I did a session on fields, widgets and formatters at Drupal downunder 2012 - during which I discussed how this module works as an example of the field api. If you're interested you can view the presentation.
