The Calendar Field

The Calendar Field

The SobiPro Calendar Field lets create a date field that features a popup calendar in the entry form of SobiPro to easily select a date for an entry.

With the Calendar field it is possible to create a complete events site due to the possibility to make a calendar field become the setting to specify the entry start publishing date and/or the entry stop publishing date. Also recurring dates like daily, weekly, monthly and yearly dates, and date/time ranges can be used.

The date field features a popup calendar in the entry and search form, that lets users easily select a date.

A calendar listing shows all dates entered in the (events) directory on the site in a specific calendar view.

Schema.org is supported.

Remarks:

SobiPro 2 and its applications are a major upgrade. If you upgrade the application, it is highly recommended to use the new template file(s) for SobiPro and the applications, as the old template file(s) do not necessarily work with SobiPro 2 and the new application.

Copy them to your template by pressing 'Copy from Storage'. If you have modified the template file(s), you need to backup them first and add your modifications to the new template file(s).

The Calendar field uses the Unix Time to show dates. Unix times can be only in the range of 13.12.1901 20:45:52 UTC to 19.01.2038 3:14:07 UTC. If you need dates before of after that range, the calendar field cannot be used. See also Unix time (Wikipedia)
