Introduction¶

No longer maintained¶

This extension has been superseded by the functionality available in FORMidable 0.7.0. So it now is obsolete and no longer maintained.

What does it do?¶

This extension provides an extended version of the DATE renderlet of FORMidable 0.5.0. This DATETIME renderlet has the following additions:

enter and save times in addition to dates
use a user function for the time format

Credits¶

Most of the code is copied from FORMidable. The time parser has been provided by the author of FORMidable, Jerome Schneider. The feature of using a user function for the date format has been added by Oliver Klee.

Installation¶

Install the following extension in this order:

amoes_formidable 0.5.0

rlmp_dateselectlib

this extension

After installing this extension, you can fine-tune the DHTML date picker using the TS setup in plugin.tx_rlmpdateselectlib.calConf (please see the manual of rlmp_dateselectlib for details).

Users manual¶

This is an example of the usage of the DATETIME renderlet:

<renderlet:DATETIME name="begin_date">
        <label>LLL:EXT:seminars/locallang_db.php:tx_seminars_seminars.begin_date</label>
        <data>
                <datetime>
                        <converttotimestamp>true</converttotimestamp>
                        <format>%d.%m.%Y %H:%M</format>
                        <displaytime>true</displaytime>
                </datetime>
        </data>
</renderlet:DATETIME>

If you would like to retrieve the date/time format via a user function so that it's flexible, this would look like this:

<renderlet:DATETIME name="begin_date">
        <label>LLL:EXT:seminars/locallang_db.php:tx_seminars_seminars.begin_date</label>
        <data>
                <datetime>
                        <converttotimestamp>true</converttotimestamp>
                        <format>
                                <userobj>
                                        <extension>this</extension>
                                        <method>getDateFormat</method>
                                </userobj>
                        </format>
                        <displaytime>true</displaytime>
                </datetime>
        </data>
</renderlet:DATETIME>

Known Problems¶

This extension doesn't work with FORMidable 0.6.0, only with FORMidable 0.5.0.
