Hello again,

Here's my extended "fork" of Byron Fitzgerald 's calendar.

Thank you very much Byron! I had some trouble to get it working at first because the css was missing and I had some trouble with the js. But as soon as I figured out it was based on Flatpickr, I got it rolling. Actually I got inspired and developed it further adding a bunch of functionality like more config options, a few different output options and worked around some issues.

I could share the result if you or others are interested. Is there any official place for stuff like this? Meanwhile I might post something on the slack channel, which I just joined.

I need to have two date fields, start date and end date. Both are optional – I will conditionally output stuff only if they are set, plus do some filtering. However, the date fields always defaults to todays date. I tried using allowempty attribute, which does add empty values at the top of the options, but Perch doesn't save the empty values (they revert to 1 jan 1970 on save).

I thought about:

• creating regular select fields for day, month, year but then I loose to ability to format the dates, which I need.

• treating "1 jan 1970" as empty, perhaps in combination with some checkbox to "disable dates". However the editor experience for the client would be a bit awkward.

Anyone have a solution for this? Or perhaps built their own fieldtype?

Thanks!

Yes that should work. Thanks a lot!

That's smart. However the videos are in added to the region with blocks. What's the best way to get to them within the each function?

How can I test if the youtube video has a description? In other words, since the youtube_video id is an array, how can I test for the description key only?
