Date API Installation instructions:
|
| 3 |
==================================================================================
|
| 4 |
1) If you have an earlier version of the Date module on your system, empty the
|
| 5 |
date folder out completely. The files in version 2 have different names and are
|
| 6 |
located in different places.
|
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
2) Download the whole package of files from http://drupal.org/project/date.
|
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
3) Upload the date files to the modules directory. The package includes files
|
| 11 |
needed by the Date API, and optional modules to to create CCK date fields.
|
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
4) Go to admin/build/modules and enable the needed modules from the Date/Time group.
|
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
You should end up with a structure like:
|
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
/drupal/sites/all/modules/date/date_api.info
|
| 18 |
/drupal/sites/all/modules/date/date_api.install
|
| 19 |
/drupal/sites/all/modules/date/date_api.module
|
| 20 |
...
|
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
/drupal/sites/all/modules/date/date/date.info
|
| 23 |
/drupal/sites/all/modules/date/date/date.install
|
| 24 |
/drupal/sites/all/modules/date/date/date.module
|
| 25 |
...
|
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
/drupal/sites/all/modules/date/date_copy/date_copy.info
|
| 28 |
/drupal/sites/all/modules/date/date_copy/date_copy.module
|
| 29 |
...
|
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
/drupal/sites/all/modules/date/date_php4/date_php4.inc
|
| 32 |
/drupal/sites/all/modules/date/date_php4/date_php4_lib.inc
|
| 33 |
...
|
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
==================================================================================
|
| 36 |
Older PHP versions
|
| 37 |
==================================================================================
|
| 38 |
If you are using PHP 4 or PHP 5.0 or 5.1, native date handling won't work right.
|
| 39 |
Install the Date_PHP4 module to enable wrapper functions so this code will work
|
| 40 |
in old PHP versions.
|
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
==================================================================================
|
| 43 |
Enable Date Timezone
|
| 44 |
==================================================================================
|
| 45 |
In most cases, you should enable the Date Timezone module any time you use the
|
| 46 |
Date API to be able to set the site and user timezone names. It is not enabled by
|
| 47 |
default in case another module is setting timezone names in the database.
|
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
Once you have enabled it, go to admin/settings/date-time and set the default
|
| 50 |
site timezone name. If you are using user timezones, go to your account settings
|
| 51 |
and set up your own timezone name.
|
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
==================================================================================
|
| 54 |
Install CCK Date Fields:
|
| 55 |
==================================================================================
|
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
1) The CCK date field is included in the Date files at http://drupal.org/project/date.
|
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
2) Go to admin/build/modules and enable the Date module. Be sure that the Date API module,
|
| 60 |
the Date Timezone module, and the Content module are also installed.
|
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
3) Go to admin/content/types to view cck content types and edit a content type.
|
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
4) Make sure the default timezone name has been set at admin/settings/date-time.
|
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
5) While viewing a content type, select the option to add a new field from the tabs at
|
| 67 |
the top of the page. Several options for date fields should be visible.
|
| 68 |
