Date Field - Allow hiding of to date

Are you saying you can't change the field format spec?

Go to "admin/structure/types/manage" choose your type with the date field.
Choose the "manage display" tab.
Choose the "configure" button on the right.
Change the "Format of the timer: " field to be whatever you want to display.

If not, I'm not quite getting the question? Any chance of a screen shot?

Hi @jvandervort,

Here are some screen shots.

• The first one shows the default date formatting options.
• The second one shows the JS Timer date formatting options. Note the ability to target just the start OR the end time.
• The third shows the output of the JS timer module. Basically we have 2 timers going when only one is really necessary (at least for some use cases).

I don't know how extensive the edits would be, but I'm imagining the code can largely be sourced from the date module.

If I provide a patch for this functionality, will it get committed? I need to try and turn this around by next Monday :)

Sure, if it looks good.

Hi @jvandervort. I had to get something up that was a quick and dirty hack simply to meet the deadline, but I'm also leaving this as a patch in case anyone else needs it in the short term. Basically the current module will look to see if there is an end date and then format as well. What I did is simply comment that out and ONLY use the start date. Again, I know there are going to be use cases where someone does want both and it's better to let them set that in views... so I'm not posting this for consideration as much as a starting point :)

@rickmanelius - Thanks for the patch. I ran into the same situation where my countdown timer was printing twice because views was using the date field from and to dates. This at least gets me a fix in the mean time.
