| 2 | 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 | |
