Custom fieldtype for [Craft](https://craftcms.com/) to display a DateTime field as separate dropdowns

Functionality
-------------

[](#functionality)

- Extends the default DateTime fieldtype, but without a datepicker.
- Allows the user to enter a date using three separate `` fields for day/month/year.
- You can set your own range for the Year field, using full numeric year notation (eg. 2016) or a `strtotime()` value based on the current date/time.
