Date Selection¶
The date selection field was designed to support the UI requirement of
allowing users to select a date using multi-select input fields. The
DateSelect field extends the zope.schema.Date field merely by a few additional
attributes.
>>> from z3c.schema.dateselect import field
the first attribute is the range of years that will be offered to the user:
>>> birthday = field.DateSelect(
... title=u'Birthday',
... yearRange=list(range(1920, 2007)))
In this case the user will be offered all years from 1920 to 2007.
>>> birthday.yearRange
[1920, ..., 2006]
The second attribute allows you to specify an initial date for the selection:
>>> import datetime
>>> birthday = field.DateSelect(
... title=u'Birthday',
... yearRange=range(1920, 2007),
... initialDate=datetime.date(2000, 1, 1))
>>> birthday.initialDate
datetime.date(2000, 1, 1)
And this is really it. Please read the documentation on the Date for more
information.
