Time calculations / insert time like everywhere else ;)

Description
Hey,
a nice addition would be if we could enter a date like "d+7" in the date and time fields and that would be transformed to a normal date (like it is done in all the other TYPO3 core date fields).
Best regards,
Susanne

Hmm, I didn't know you could do this... Actually it's broken when used in conjunction with date2cal.
Anyway I'll see what I can do. TYPO3 has a lot of nifty validation features, but they are not properly encapsulated in separate libraries so it's difficult to reuse. Maybe this is the case for this rule...

I realised I knew where it was coming from just after I replied. It's done by JavaScript, which transforms e.g. "d+3" into a timestamp, which is written in a hidden field. And that hidden field is the value used by TCEmain (and not the actual input field).
The Gabriel BE module did load all that JS, which was required quite a few calls and a pretty byzantine way of selecting fields, a hidden field for writing the timestamp, etc. Which is why I scrapped all that stuff, because it's just so complicated and inconvenient to use. I'll check if I can do the same server-side.

Attaching patch by Steffen Kamper for adding the new core datepicker. This still does not allow input as mentioned in the original import, but at least improves date-time input

I have added the ExtJS datepicker to the date fields using Steffen's patch. I consider this a sufficient enhancement, as I would really like to avoid loading all that old JS from the core.
I'm going to mark this issue as solved. Susanne, feel free to complain if you're not satisfied ;-)
