Experimental project

This is a sandbox project, which contains experimental code for developer use only.

FOREWARNING

As you can see, my English is really ugly and awkward, so don't hesitate to point out all my obvious mistakes or even send me patches for module messages and documentation. Thank you in advance!

SUMMARY

The Date Range module implements a custom field which allows you to enter dates and periods as a text string with an arbitrary precision, e.g.:

1991 - a period, consisted of all days of year 1991;
2012.02 - all days of February 2012;
1917.10.25 - October 25, 1917 exactly;
1941-1945 - a period from the beginning of 1941 till the end of 1945;
1234.05.06-7890 - a period from May 06, 1234 till the end of year 7890.

A general pattern for field input is: YYYY[.MM[.DD]][-YYYY[.MM[.DD]]].

The module also implements a custom filter for Views which allows you to select nodes which are before, after, inclide, exclude or exactly equal to the specified period.

REQUIREMENTS

Mandatory: CCK for 6.x branch.

Optional: Views 2.x or 3.x for 6.x and 7.x branches.

CONFIGURATION

You can select would this field will represent a single date in form of YYYY[.MM[.DD]] or a period as described above.

TODO

  1. Change internal representation of data from DateTime to the ISO 8601 compatible CHAR(10).
  2. Translate all messages and labels from Engrish to English ;-)
  3. Add check for required field option (need some works).
  4. Sanitize field labels.
  5. Add settings for custom separator for date input.

REQUIREMENTS

Mandatory: CCK for 6.x branch.

Optional: Views 2.x or 3.x for 6.x and 7.x branches.
