Dates input using Text fields are improperly rounded

Edit: nerver mind I see this is fixed in 2.6

Have you ran the update script? I was still having this problem in 2.6, until I realized that I hadn't ran any database updates. Doing so fixed the problems I had with the minutes being rounded on date text fields.

I just did a completely fresh install with 7.x-2.6, and I'm having this issue; but I don't see any "Time Increments" option when I create the field.

Can someone explain where exactly that option appears?

I finally found the "Time Increment" option: it only appears once you enable the "Date Pop-up" sub-module, and then only if you set your widget type to "Pop-up Calendar".

The "Time Increment" option is NOT present for the simple default "Text field" widget.

This was a problem for me too. I'm using Date-7.x-2.7 and I added a date field that uses the text field widget. The time kept on being rounded to the nearest 15 minute increment.

I was able to correct this by changing the widget to the popup option. I then went into "more settings and values" for the field and changed the increment to 1 minute. After saving these settings, I was able to change the widget back to the text field option (the 1 minute increment setting persisted).

Buggy indeed...

The above workaround posted by btown worked for me. Thanks.

same issue, why Date not provide a 'Disable Rounding' option?

is possible to implement hook_form_alter to trick this issue?

I'm not totally sure why an increment of 15 minutes would be desired by default? To me, it would make more sense to give a '0 increment' value by default and then let the user change that. By changing that value, it makes this issue somewhat easier to manage. My cursory tests checked out ok but, obviously, this should be reviewed and tested before putting it into a production environment.

It might not be a good idea to just change the default increment value as suggested by AaronElBorg in #12.

The workaround of #8 worked for me, too.

#1355256: date field minutes and seconds rounding after update/save is related and this seems to be a duplicate.

@Ronino

For the record, that wasn't the only change I suggested. There's a legitmate bug that is fixed as well.

 elseif (in_array($widget['type'], array('date_text'))) {
+    $form['increment'] = array(
+     '#type' => 'select', '#title' => t('Time increments'),
+      '#default_value' => $settings['increment'],
+      '#options' => array(
+        0 => t('No rounding'),
+        1 => t('1 minute'),
+        5 => t('5 minute'),
+        10 => t('10 minute'),
+        15 => t('15 minute'),
+        30 => t('30 minute')),
+      '#weight' => 7,
+      '#fieldset' => 'date_format',
+    );
+  } 
+

It just doesn't seem very user-friendly (to me, anyway) to simply assume that a 15 minute rounding is desired by everyone. I just tied the 2 "fixes" together. That's all.

It might not be a good idea to just change the default increment value as suggested by AaronElBorg in #12.

Just curious as to why you think so. I'm not trying to be snarky. Just interested in why. Thanks.

This is old, but I still can reproduce this bug with 7.x-2.x as of now.

If I may, I believe the patch provided in comment #12 might solve the issue, but I do not think it highlights the default behaviour.

As @zabelc says in #6 :

The "Time Increment" option is NOT present for the simple default "Text field" widget.

.

With that in mind, I think a solution could be to apply the "Time Increment" factor when, and only when, the "Time Increment" option is available on the selected widget.

Here is a patch, representing the idea expressed by my comment.

Thanks for the patch, we'll try to review it soon.

BTW when you upload a patch it helps to set the status to "needs review", that triggers the testbots and lets others know that there's something review.
