10RUPTiV Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 I would like to have a custom field using a date with the calendar icon too. In the database it need to be a real date field not only a text one. It would be usefull to set a date reminder in an account for a contract renewal for example.

Tyson Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Is there a particular reason you need the database to use a date type rather than the current text type? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10RUPTiV Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 First, to have the calendar popup to make sure "date" are all in the same format Also, to be able to eventually, trigger something to send an email based on this date!

Michael Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Is there a particular reason you need the database to use a date type rather than the current text type? If this was for client fields that would be nice to have to ensure the date of birth was a date in the format we like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10RUPTiV Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 We need this to help us managing "renewal date" for contract or P.O. We have some clients that we need each 6 or 12 months to negociate a new contract and a new P.O. and some others clients to just re-ask for a new P.O. for the next year.

Ah. I thought you were referring to the database schema needing a MySQL date or datetime type. Sending emails based on custom fields may be better suited to a custom plugin.

10RUPTiV Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Is it possible to have this in a plugin or you need to do that in the core ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Supporting formatted custom client date fields could likely be in the core, I speculate, but having an email sent based on the value of certain custom fields is better suited to a plugin.
