Component body

This package contains both a flexible date/time field type Date field and a Date API that other modules can use.

The D5 and D6 versions of the Date field require the Content Construction Kit (CCK) module. The D7 version works with the core Field functionality.
D8 includes Date in core.

The Drupal Handbook pages are at Date/Calendar Documentation.

Be sure to read Debugging Information before reporting a problem. Going through those steps may resolve your problems and will help provide enough information to tell if this is a bug.

D8 Version

The D8 branch is being upgraded with a hope to getting some of it into core. The branch will only be usable in conjunction with the related core patches. Outstanding patches include the following:

D7 Version

Due to work on getting Date into Drupal 8 core, the D7 version is currently being minimally maintained. The maintainers will not actively work on features or bugs, but will check any issues that make it to RTBC status and apply the associated patches when appropriate.

Please see #2074655: Assign Co-Maintainership [Mark Date/Calendar modules as unsupported] if you are able to help with on-going maintenance.

D7 Notes

Note that the latest code includes two new modules, Date Repeat Field, a module to create date fields that use the Date Repeat API, and Date All Day, a module to manage handling of All Day values, including adding an All day checkbox to the widget. Both of those were formerly included in the basic Date module but have been pulled out to streamline the code and make it possible to disable them. They also serve as examples of how other modules can intervene to alter date processing.

I've added preliminary support for SQLLite and SQLServer. This is experimental and probably not stable. People who use those databases will need to help debug issues before they can really be considered supported.

Token support is not working in D7. See http://drupal.org/node/1103032 (read the issue summary at the top of that issue).

D6 Version

Due to work on getting Date into Drupal 8 core, the D6 version is currently being minimally maintained. The maintainers will not actively work on features or bugs, but will check any issues that make it to RTBC status and apply the associated patches when appropriate.

Please see #2074655: Assign Co-Maintainership [Mark Date/Calendar modules as unsupported] if you are able to help with on-going maintenance.

D6 Notes

Date 6.2 now requires the jQuery UI module (http://drupal.org/project/jquery_ui) for the Date Popups datepicker to work!

PHP 4, 5.0, & 5.1 are no longer actively supported. If you want dates to work correctly you need to use PHP 5.2 or higher.
