Hi all,
There's a bunch of problems with DatePicker poppin up. In fact, there
have been problems with it's localization support from the start, but
I hoped they would be fixed with a new version of jscalendar for which
the datepicker component is just a wrapper. However, the last release
of that thing was almost a year ago, and I don't feel confident there
will be any release soon.
I'd like to propose an alternative to jscalendar. One that has
robusteness over number of features, though I have no problem with
that thing looking nice.
One of the candidates that looks good to me is the yahoo calendar,
http://developer.yahoo.net/yui/calendar/index.html Anyone played
around with that? If that's good, and some other yahoo components are
too (they sure look good to me), we could create a couple of
Yahoo/Wicket components. My plan would be to deprecate the current
date picker - fix bugs if anyone can submit patches, but I'm too short
of time to go after that myself - and create a
wicket.extensions.markup.html.yahoo package for all yahoo components
(e.g. we would have wicket.extensions.markup.html.yahoo.calendar ).
Also, my plan would be to make using these components super easy to
use. If I look at the current DatePicker implementation, I believe I
took it too far in trying to support a large part of the jscalendar
API. New implementations should be far simpler and more limited to
what it can do by default. If people want more fancy stuff, they could
extend such a component and learn from the implementation how to take
their component further.
Thoughts, suggestions?
