We have defined some fields in a schema of the type "Date".

When we make new components of this schema, you have to use the default datepicker within the Content Manager. This datepicker is far from optimal (drop-down months instead of arrows, time in 3 fields); and perhaps the biggest issue: you can't type a date-time, you MUST use the datepicker.

My question is: Is there an official update/hotfix for the datepicker (as it is core-functionality). Or are there plug-ins available? If none are available how can we implement a more modern jquery-like datepicker?

  • I am not sure about update\hotfix but you can always write a GUI extension for your custom datepicker.

  • I will look into the GUI extension, perhaps that will give the client the functionality they desire.

There is no update/hotfix for the datepicker and there is no supported way of replacing it with custom control. So you can do that, but this wouldn't be easy :)
