Hi...I'd love to see a date picker as an extra field ;)
Thanks guys

yeah, me too. did anyone dive into this already? :)

Me three! I'm working on a project right now where the only thing let that I need that k2 doesn't give me are date fields.

Date picker in extra field is very useful feature, as for me...

I second that... would really make use of it! :)

Still no news on this?

I'll buy a ticket for this band wagon, as well.

Roll Up, Roll Up, buy your tickets here ;)

OK, form an orderly queue.
What specifics do you have?
Would it be better with a plugin that links to a calendar popup selection?

Lets see what we can do.

I'm watching this thread as I have the same need.

I would like it to work with the calendar, showing upcoming events using a day picker instead of the publishing dates of items...

Hoping for answers,
Best regards,
David aka Shapes

It would be fantastic if there were a calendar module that show items by the date extrafield instead showing them by the item's creation date. Obviously i'm looking for an event calendar ;)

I'm guessing that merely a date would be a good first step. Anything more, and we'll never see it! :)

Check out the JED extensions.joomla.org

There is a K2 Fields plugin that has Data fields extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extension-specific/k2-extensions/11779

Hey people, I'd also like the Date-Type Extra Field.

Plain simple, just a date field. I think for all the fancy calendar options you can use a sidekick component. :D

Hi Everyone, while I am here.. Yes, I date field would be fantastic. 

 

I was using FlexiContent till security flaws bit me, and I came over the K2s way.. and frankly like K2 a lot more.. the lack of templating 'in' the component for me is actually a plus but the one thing I REALLY miss is a date field.  I build sites for organisations that have events, and a couple of bands, and I feel like I am no able to create equivelent content output as with other CCKs

 

I have seen the date picker around with an extension ( I think it was K2 Fields ) so I dont think that was too hard ( forgive me I am not a programmer : ) ... but the ability to use the date would need to be intedrated into other areas k2_content etc. so I understand its not a quick fix.

 

The other thing that would have to be available ( and some templating set up for it ) would be the date format.  This WAS stul difficult in Flexicontent and I had to learn some PHP to get things my way in Australia but thats fine.. if it's there, people will learn and help.

 

Cheers
