Date, Date Repeat Field, Date All Day Drupal module description

This package provides a flexible Date/Time field, similar to the Date field and Date API used by other modules.
For Drupal versions 5 and 6, the Date field requires a set of CCK modules. In Drupal 7 core, it works by default.

Most of the Calendar module’s functionality comes from the Date module. Therefore, whenever you update the Calendar module, make sure you also update the Date module to the latest version.

Date 6.2 currently requires the jQuery UI module (http://drupal.org/project/jquery_ui) for the DatePicker popup functionality.

PHP 4, 5.0, and 5.1 are no longer supported. To ensure proper date handling, you must use PHP 5.2 or higher.

For Drupal 7

Note that the latest version includes two new modules: Date Repeat Field, a module for creating date fields that use the Date Repeat API, and Date All Day, a module for managing All Day values, including adding an “All day” checkbox to the widget. Both of these modules were previously part of the core Date module but were removed to simplify the code and allow them to be disabled separately. They also serve as examples of how other modules can hook into and modify date processing.
