adding due_date and due_time for milestones
Submitted by Bowser0001 on Tue, 01/15/2008 - 00:45.
Hello-
I'm trying to produce the pick_datetime_widget for real. Currently it just shows a textbox. My problem comes with extending it so that it doesn't ruin the get_year and other functions within the DateTimeValueLib. Does anybody know where I can find this library to see if I can extend it to work with a due date hour, minute, and second? Thanks very much!
I'm attempting to write the pick_datetime_widget function, (see line 91 in application/helpers/form.php) to simply extend the due_date for a milestone to include a time. In the database, it is a datetime field anyway, so we can just add the time to the DateTimeValueLib::make() in the controller...
This way instead of... (line 94 in application/controllers/MilestoneController.class.php)
$milestone_data['due_date'] = DateTimeValueLib::make(0, 0, 0, array_var($_POST, 'milestone_due_date_month', 1), array_var($_POST, 'milestone_due_date_day', 1), array_var($_POST, 'milestone_due_date_year', 1970));we could change it to something like:
$milestone_data['due_date'] = DateTimeValueLib::make(array_var($_POST, 'milestone_due_date_hour'), $_POST, 'milestone_due_date_minute'), $_POST, 'milestone_due_date_second'), array_var($_POST, 'milestone_due_date_month', 1), array_var($_POST, 'milestone_due_date_day', 1), array_var($_POST, 'milestone_due_date_year', 1970));The Problem is, I can't make that work without destroying the "view" view. I think the problem comes in when the view controller is used by the "view" view, and tries to get the date and year to display.
Any ideas? I don't even know where to find the DateTimeValueLib definitions!

PS-here's what I've done for the pick_datetime_widget function:
/**
* Return date time picker widget
*
* @access public
* @param string $name Field name
* @param string $value Date time value
* @return string
*/
function pick_datetime_widget($name, $value = null, $year_from = null, $year_to = null) {
if(!($value instanceof DateTimeValue)) $value = new DateTimeValue($value);
$month_options = array();
for($i = 1; $i <= 12; $i++) {
$option_attributes = $i == $value->getMonth() ? array('selected' => 'selected') : null;
$month_options[] = option_tag(lang("month $i"), $i, $option_attributes);
} // for
$day_options = array();
for($i = 1; $i <= 31; $i++) {
$option_attributes = $i == $value->getDay() ? array('selected' => 'selected') : null;
$day_options[] = option_tag($i, $i, $option_attributes);
} // for
$year_from = (integer) $year_from < 1 ? $value->getYear() - 10 : (integer) $year_from;
$year_to = (integer) $year_to < 1 || ((integer) $year_to < $year_from) ? $value->getYear() + 10 : (integer) $year_to;
$year_options = array();
for($i = $year_from; $i <= $year_to; $i++) {
$option_attributes = $i == $value->getYear() ? array('selected' => 'selected') : null;
$year_options[] = option_tag($i, $i, $option_attributes);
}
$hour_options = array();
for($i = 0; $i <= 23; $i++) {
$option_attributes = $i == $hour ? array('selected' => 'selected') : null;
$hour_options[] = option_tag($i, $i, $option_attributes);
} // for
$minute_options = array();
for($i = 0; $i <= 59; $i+=5) {
$option_attributes = $i == $minute ? array('selected' => 'selected') : null;
$minute_options[] = option_tag($i, $i, $option_attributes);
} // for
$second_options = array();
for($i = 0; $i <= 59; $i+=5) {
$option_attributes = $i == $second ? array('selected' => 'selected') : null;
$second_options[] = option_tag($i, $i, $option_attributes);
} // for
// (if?)
return select_box($name . '_month', $month_options) . select_box($name . '_day', $day_options) . select_box($name . '_year', $year_options) . ' at ' . select_box($name . '_hour', $hour_options) . select_box($name . '_minute', $minute_options) . select_box($name . '_second', $second_options);
} // pick_datetime_widget
which seems to work fine.
