TYPO3 Core

Please note that the date2calendar extension has copied some TYPO3 code that contained issue 0001703 and that that issue still needs to get fixed in the extension's copy of that code.

Which extension is meant? There are two extensions called 'date2calendar'.
The extension keys are: erotea_date2cal and date2cal.

Since Version 4.1 of typo3 I prefer using 'date2cal' because of the provided 't3skin' style of the dhtml calendar.

I vote for integrating to the core too!

I had a look at "date2cal" (NOT erotea_date2cal!!) behaviour, in correspondance to the behaviour described in #15139.
As far as I can see, its behaviour is exactly what you want.
If you click on the checkbox, the value of now() is inserted in the field.

So what is about integrating this extension into the core and getting rid of another xclassing extension?

The feature is very valuable to editors anyway!

Currently date2cal was "refactored" between its major version 6 and 7. However, it does not work with TYPO3 4.2. To avoid this, we should integrate and maintain the functionalities (not the extension as it is!) into the TYPO3 Core.

version 7.0.1 does work with 4.2
I think it should integrated in core for 4.3 (not as extension)

• the functionalities have to work with prototype (and have to be updated whenever we decide to upgrade prototype)
• the JavaScript labels (from date2cal in ./js/jscalendar/land/calendar-[language].js) have to come from the TYPO3 localization

The caching mechanism does not take care of starttime/endtime of content elements. (which is not much important, if you can only add date into content elements, but you will notice it if you have date and time)

So if a page is inserted into cache with an default expire date (24hours), it is possible that there are some content elements on that page which have an starttime or an endtime within these 24hours.
(f.e.: at 2pm the page is cached, the starttime of an content element is 3pm but it will be first shown at 2pm at the next day - when the page cache is expired).

I wrote a extension which xclasses tslib_fe and checks on that page if there are content elements.

http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/cacheexpire/0.0.2/

I think it could be a first step - i did not check if it works with workspaces or versioning, and not with extensions like tt_news (where i think it is much more important).

It is on forge:

Btw.: date2cal 7.1.0 works with trunk (TYPO3 4.3-dev)

This can be dropped/closed (as #20829 fixed this)

Resolved as duplicate of #20829

This is now realized with ExtJS and will be included in TYPO3 4.3
