Date / Jscalendar Tracker Field

Three tracker field types allows you to have date/time in tikiwiki

Date & Time
Date Only
Jscalendar if the feature jscalendar is activated

Date Only is currently only available in tikiwiki 1.9, the other two are available in tikiwik>=1.9
The options on Date & Time and Jscalendar types are only available in tikiwiki>= 1.10

Here is an example of the plugin tracker on a tracker using different comfiguration of these fields

In this example you see the popup of the jscalendar field that has been opened. Note that this image does not depict the Date Only field.

Date & Time Tracker Field

The options are:

Parameters	Value	Description
date_time	dt or d or t	dt for date and time, d for date, t for time (only for tw>?)
start_year	4 digits number	first year in the drop down (ex: 1968) - no significant for jscalendar
end_year	4 digits number	first year in the drop down (ex: 1968) - no significant for jscalendar
blank_date	blank or empty	allows to have date not set. 'Blank' means that the default is blank. 'Empty'(tiki>=6.2) means that the default is the current date

Date can be blank, but does not default to blank. Blank by selecting empty in any date field.

It the parameter date_time is 'd', the user will be asked to enter only a date not a time. If the param blank_date is 'blank', the user can ~~not fill~~ empty the field.

If the field is flagged as Mandatory, this option is ignored. If the field is flagged as not Mandatory, then the addition of an empty option will default the field to ~~a blank date instead of~~ the current date or the stored date for the field.
