new date type on HEAD version??

[tiofelix]

I download the last code from the web site http://www.alfresco.org/alfresco/HEAD with snv, something changes about –>

          
<import uri="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0" prefix="d"/>
  …
<type…>
   …
  <properties>
        …
      <property name="my:dataen">
            <type>d:date</type>
      </property>
  </properties>
</type>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

but now these properties can not be showed… "None" appears.

And this warning????

    2006-09-05 10:07:43,796 WARN  [org.hibernate.cache.ReadWriteCache] An item was expired by the cache while it was locked (increase your cache timeout): org.alfresco.repo.domain.hibernate.NodeImpl.parentAssocs#409

The date picker renderer has changed to allow dates to be set back to "None". Now when a date property has null in the database "None" is shown in the UI (showing today's date when null was in the database is a bug).

The "None" text can be clicked on to set the date to today's date (unless the propery in question is protected, in which case the property will be shown in a gray italic font). There are now also buttons available to set the date back to null and to go to today's date.

This warning should not cause a problem but needs to be fixed - i've raised a JIRA issue here:
http://issues.alfresco.com/browse/AR-833

Thanks,

Hi Gavin,

  there is some patch for alfresco 1.3 release to give the same funcionality?? or some try some way to show "none" instead of showing today's date. Now i would like to create a property "delivery date" and user don't know at the time this date. Thanks Gavin.

There isn't a patch for this fix for 1.3 and as far as I know there currently aren't any plans to do so.

You maybe able to do it yourself by retrofitting org.alfresco.web.ui.common.renderer.DatePickerRenderer from 1.4 into 1.3.

There is some way to configure the new DatePickerRenderer to show today's date by default?? Because i want some d:date propertys to be shown with "none" and others with today's date.

    Thanks.

Hi,

Yes, there is.

There's a property that can be set on DatePickerGenerator and DateTimePickerGenerator called "initialiseIfNull". If this is set to true then the date picker will render today's date (like in previous versions).

Have a look at faces-config-beans.xml to see an example of how you set it, it's commented out by default. Have a look at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Simple_Customisations#Resetting_Date_Picker_Behaviour for more info.

Ok, I know that, but the problem is if you want d:date propertys to be shown with "none" and others with today's date by default.
