Would be pretty nice to be able to provide a time/date selector as a custom field, perhaps even with a nice UI on top rather than expecting dates/times to be entered manually.
Thoughts on this being added still?
I do like it as an idea, though it scares me because I've never seen a GUI date picker in an SMF mod before... or even in SMF.
So... in the event that there's not a GUI date picker available, I wonder if it wouldn't make as much sense to just make an entry mask for the existing text field type? Allow the admin to specify a date mask such as "mm/dd/yyyy" for standard us character dates, etc. That would kill several birds with one stone. For instance, there could be a phone mask "(nnn)nnn-nnnn" or a social security number mask "nnn-nn-nnnn" etc.
Well the date isn't an issue for GUI. Its the time.
Date commonly uses a little calendar icon that pops up a calendar (via js) and you can click through months or jump years.
Yeah, jQuery UI has a very nice Calendar func.
