input date as additional field (Missing impossible request)

[Sun Zaza]

Hey guys,

This time I have a very difficult request:

Thanks to v@no we can use a dropdown box as an additional field, but what about showing a date input like choosing the image date in ADD IMAGE.

I believe there is a way to call  the function "show_date_input_row" from db_fields_definitions (You can find this function in admin_functions).

Am I asking something impossible?

I will hear it from you guys.

PS: Please let's take 4images to a higher level

UPDATE:

I believe I will do it myself. Almost done, but I think I need some help.

Just use javascript and convert unix timestamp into human format... or use PHP in the templates. Don't need messing around in the code.

[EDIT]
never mind, I didn't take in account the saving to database routine...
Let us know about your progress

Messing with the code? It is almost done with 2 steps. Maybe with your help, it will be better. Check this out:

Open db_field_definition.php

Add:

$additional_image_fields['image_date2'] = array($lang['training_date2'], "input_date", 0);


Open admin/admin_functions.php

after:

case "radio":
        show_radio_row($val[0], $field_name, ($value == "") ? 1 : $value);
        break;


Add:

case "input_date":         

show_date_input_row($val[0], $field_name, $value);
        break;


The problem now is the database save only the year (For example: 2010 or 1999)


Any help please?
