Calendar Field

The SobiPro Calendar Field allows you to create a date field that features a popup calendar in the SobiPro entry form, making it easy to select a date for an entry.

With the Calendar Field, it is possible to create a complete events site thanks to the ability to use a calendar field as the entry start publishing date and/or the entry stop publishing date. Recurring dates such as daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly events, as well as date and time ranges, are also supported.

The date field features a popup calendar in both the entry and search forms, allowing users to easily select a date.

A calendar listing displays all dates entered in the directory on the site in a dedicated calendar view.

Schema.org support is included.

  • Single events
  • Time periods
  • Recurring dates
  • Entry start and stop publishing dates
  • Searchable
  • Calendar view via XSL template
  • Supports microdata (Schema.org)

Remarks:

SobiPro 2 and its applications represent a major upgrade. If you upgrade the application, it is highly recommended to use the new template file(s) for SobiPro and its applications, as the old template file(s) may not be compatible with SobiPro 2 and the updated application.

Copy them to your template by clicking 'Copy from Storage'. If you have modified the template file(s), you should back them up first and then apply your modifications to the new template file(s).

The Calendar Field uses Unix time to display dates. Unix timestamps are limited to the range from 13 December 1901, 20:45:52 UTC to 19 January 2038, 03:14:07 UTC. If you need dates before or after this range, the Calendar Field cannot be used. See also Unix time (Wikipedia)
