Maintainer Contact
- Michael van Schaik <mic (at) restruct (dot) nl>
Requirements
- SilverStripe 3.0 or newer
Features
- Builds on silverstripe DateField (with Text field), same config & localisation supported (specific locales may need some further testing)
- Integrates MDP 1.6.3, a plugin that enables jQuery UI calendar to manage multiple dates
- Allows setting custom date separator (default: ", "), more Multidatepicker-specific configuration options can easily be added.
- TODO(!): I could use some help with the silverstripe config system for this module; I'm now using ($this->getConfig('separator') ? $this->getConfig('separator') : ', ') in order to provide a callback for the date separator because sometimes custom configuration values don't seem to load.
- TODO: Saving into many_many relation (currently only textfield supported)
- TODO: Full unit test coverage
- TODO: Validation (currently commented out)
Usage
Dates as Textfields
Event Model
class Event extends DataObject {
static $db = array(
'Dates' => 'Text'
);
}
Formfield Instantiation:
$md = new MultiDateField('Dates');
$md->setConfig('dateformat', 'dd-MM-yyyy');
$md->setConfig('showcalendar', true);
$md->setConfig('separator',' & ');
