Multiple selection datepicker
I'm toying with the datepicker thing here, and I'm wondering how hard
would it be to extend it so that clicking a value does NOT close the
datepicker, but adds the selected date to an array of dates
(serialized by the dateFormat in the linked control, maybe separated
by a configurable separator). Of course this multiselection is
optional, an option setting like multipleDates, with
multipleDateSeparator...
Also, I'm working for a website of an event who lasts ~4 weeks a year,
and all the dates are shown as "D d/m" but the datepicker isn't so
happy about date formats without a year, it would be nice to be able
to define a default year value (with the optional values "none" and
"current", "none" as default) which completes the date.
Also, the D/DD values are not things that the user is accustomed to
input, the parsing function should be extended so that(where possible)
that piece of the string is optional (a user can forego it and the
date should still be "edible"), while still filled when it's the
datepicker that returns the value.
I'm willing to make these changes myself and committing them to the
svn (or sending them to who manages the code), but I'm gonna need some
help:
1. There actually is a lot of code, and I don't have time to study it
all, I need some tip on where to look.
2. I need to know if these features are welcome or not
3. I need to understand if the changes are just trivial edits (I'm
guessing 15/20 more lines of code) or if I'm facing a gargantuan task.
