- DESCRIPTION
- --------------
- Timefield is a Field API field that can store 3 types of time values: a simple
- time value, a start time and end time, or a combination of these two with a
- basic weekly repeat value. The values are stored in the database as integer
- offsets from 12AM. If the second value continues into the next day,
- i.e. 8PM - 2AM, the second value is stored as an offset +1 day.
- The goal of this field is to provide time storage that is not dependent on the
- Gregorian calendar.
- INSTALLATION
- ------------
- 1) Start by copying the module files into your 'modules' directory. For more
- information: http://drupal.org/documentation/install/modules-themes/modules-7
- 2) The Timefield module utilizes a jQuery plugin to assist with the input of
- time values. The use of this plugin is facilitated by the Libraries module. If
- not already installed, download, enable, and configure the latest versions of
- the Libraries module. See:
- http://drupal.org/project/libraries
- 3) Acquire the timepicker plugin. There are a few ways to do this.
- a) Direct Download:
- You can either download a zip or tarball file from github:
- https://github.com/fgelinas/timepicker/downloads
- Or you can download the plugin from the author's site:
- http://fgelinas.com/code/timepicker
- Once you have the compressed file, unzip it to the libraries folder to a
- subfolder called "jquery.timepicker".
- The main javascript file should have a path like this:
- /sites/all/libraries/jquery.timepicker/jquery.ui.timepicker.js
- b) You can also clone the repository directly:
- From your libraries subfolder, execute this command:
- git clone https://github.com/fgelinas/timepicker.git jquery.timepicker
- c) If you have drush installed, you can use the command
- "drush timefield-plugin" to automatically download and install this library.
- USAGE
- -------
- Timefield module provides a field type 'timefield' with a default JQuery widget.
- The timefield can have an optional 'to time' and various input formats,
- depending on your preference. While this field is multi-value capable,
- I am not really sure about a use-case for this.
- There are a three display formatters, time (with optional to time, duration,
- and a mini-calendar output. You can configure various output formats in the
- format settings dialog option on the "Manage Display" section of the Field API
- UI.
