date selection

Hi, antville seems to be a very cool software. I just started to read the source code and I'm very impressed about the clean code!

Well, there is one thing that I'm missing: a drop down list in stories/create for date selection. I don't want to use antville as a blogging software, but a public calender for my peer group.

you could provide a text field to enter a date by adding [Macro not allowed in sandbox: story.createtime] to your story editor skin.

maybe you can fiddle around with this and add some client-side javascript to set this date field from a bunch of drop down menus...?

Heh, it works! Well, the skin editor even lists this variable... (I should have RTFM :-)

I already tried to insert javascript code, but I don't know how to use the date generated by the drop down menus as the story.createtime.

although this might be a case for a javascript forum

just try to format the individual strings from the drop down menus according to the format as you can see it in the field (must be something like 2003-06-15 17:47). then put the result into the field. maybe this works (i did not try it out myself).

Would be a nice feature

to have a more comfortable date selector. Maybe this Google query is a good start.
