MultiDateField module
=====================

[](#multidatefield-module)

Provides an MultipleDatePickerField for managing and saving a string of multiple dates into a text field. Integrates [jQuery MDP plugin](https://github.com/dubrox/Multiple-Dates-Picker-for-jQuery-UI), a plugin that enables jQuery UI calendar to manage multiple dates. See [demo of the javascript interface & configuration options](http://multidatespickr.sourceforge.net/).

Maintainer Contact

[](#maintainer-contact)

- Michael van Schaik <mic (at) restruct (dot) nl>

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- SilverStripe 3.0 or newer

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Builds on silverstripe DateField (with Text field), same config & localisation supported (specific locales may need some further testing)
- Integrates [MDP 1.6.3](https://github.com/dubrox/Multiple-Dates-Picker-for-jQuery-UI), a plugin that enables jQuery UI calendar to manage multiple dates
- Allows setting custom date separator (default: ", "), more Multidatepicker-specific configuration options can easily be added.
- TODO(!): I could use some help with the silverstripe config system for this module; I'm now using ($this->getConfig('separator') ? $this->getConfig('separator') : ', ') in order to provide a callback for the date separator because sometimes custom configuration values don't seem to load.
- TODO: Saving into many\_many relation (currently only textfield supported)
- TODO: Full unit test coverage
- TODO: Validation (currently commented out)
