date range selectors

[glux]

I have defined a new property with a date range type (d:date) to be used in the advanced search. 

The problem is that the displayed date range is: 1979-2008. How can I modify this range? … also is it possible to query just the year?

I found the list of property types here:

This would require some custom Java code at the moment.

For the Advanced Search you will need to modify org.alfresco.web.ui.repo.component.UISearchCustomProperties.generateControl().

For the property sheet you'll need to change org.alfresco.web.bean.generator.DatePickerGenerator, or better still override the DataPickerGenerator with your own using the component generator framework, see http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Component_Generator_Framework for more details.

I will add this as something to make configurable for a future release.
