Template:FormDateField

This template is called from within Semantic Forms to display a Date field.

NOTE: This is a "form" template; it should NOT be called from anywhere except a semantic form.

It creates the following entry fields:

• {{{property|}}} Era - CE or BCE; the default is CE.
• {{{property|}}} Year - the year field; accepts 4 integers.
• {{{property|}}} Month - the month field.
• {{{property|}}} Day - the day field.
• {{{property|}}} Approximate - if day field.

Parameters:

• |property= - the name of the property; must be unique for the form. The template will use this value to create several fields ending with Year, Month, Day, etc.
• |mandatory= - if yes, then the combined field return some value. The default is no.
• |dataprecision= - Year, Month, or Day. Depending on this parameter, the respective fields will be made mandatory. The default is Day.
• |showera= - if yes, then the era will be show; if no (default), then the era field will not be shown and the value of CE will be set automatically.
• |showapproximate= - if yes, the approximate field will be shown; if no (default), then the approximate field will not be shown and the date will be considered not approximate (i.e. precise).
• |showmonthdayfields= - if yes (default), the Month and Day fields will be shown even if dataprecision=Year. If no, the Month and Day fields will only be shown if necessary.
• |showcaptions= - if yes (default), the captions (Year, Month etc.) will be shown.
• |adddefualt= - if yes, the date fields will have the value of now by default. If no (default), no default will be added to the fields.
