COLLECTIVE

Making Drupal's handling of dates and times easier than ever

About


Smart Date was created with an aim to make the management of events, times, and dates within Drupal as easy as possible. Drawing inspiration from popular calendar software, Smart Date aims to:
  • Make the management of dates and times intuitive for editors, including repeating events and one-click 
  • Provide natural-language formatting of dates and times out of the box
  • Optimize site performance by storing times as timestamps instead of strings
Visit Smart Date's documentation pages for information on how to install the module, set up recurring dates, and more.

Why support Smart Date?

Drupal has a passionate and engaged community that is the envy of the open source world. A key to its success is the rich ecosystem of contributed modules that make Drupal adaptable and customizable to provide robust solutions for a vast array of use cases. 

Already Smart has benefitted greatly from numerous community contributions: feature requests, feedback on patches, documentation, and patches to add new capabilities or help to fix bugs. While all forms community contributions are welcomed and encouraged, not everyone who relies on Smart Date has the time or expertise to contribute to its ongoing evolution in these ways. 

What is the goal of Smart Date's collective?

Two near-term priorities for Smart Date are:
  • Modernize its JavaScript, including the removal of its current dependency on jQuery. Also explore if a custom web component could improve usability
  • Provide an easy-to-implement registration system, ideally through integration with one or more of the existing Drupal modules that provide registration capabilities
Longer term, this collective aims to ensure the ongoing sustainability of the Smart Date module, including through integration with other popular modules.

Smart Date went from an idea to one of Drupal.org's 500 most popular modules in less than two years, thanks to a variety of contributions, but also because of a need for Drupal to keep pace with other solutions that exist to manage dates and times. Your support, be it financial or one of the other forms mentioned above, will ensure that Smart Date will continue to build on this momentum, and help Drupal continue to offer feature-rich capabilities in the important area of managing dates and times.
