The Calendar Field

Provides a text box for entry of a date. An icon next to the text box provides a link to a pop-up calendar, which can also be used to enter the date value.

Options

If you use the default dateː The value can be an ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS) or NOW, which displays the actual date. Caution: Even if you do not specify the time in the default date, the time is displayed when the option Show time is active.
Special options within this field are:

  • Show time
    If enabled, the calendar field expects a date and time and will also display the time. The formats are localized using the regular language strings.

Fields are only displayed in the frontend if you have filled them with data in the article. If it is not a required field, can you forget it?
