Custom fieldtype for Craft to display a DateTime field as separate dropdowns
- Extends the default DateTime fieldtype, but without a datepicker.
- Allows the user to enter a date using three separate
<select>
fields for day/month/year. - You can set your own range for the Year field, using full numeric year notation (eg. 2016) or a
strtotime()
value based on the current date/time.
