We were having some crazy issue with the date popup module. We've since figured them out but it led me to think it might be nice to implement a feature to allow the admin to not use the popup widget even if the date popup module is installed. In our case we use the date popup for various CCK fields as well so our only options we to give up the date popup module entirely or figure out what the issue was.

I wrote a patch to do this plus enforce valid time format data for date popup here:

The part that lets the user disable the date popup is pretty basic. I'd say switch the field default in my to have date popup on by default and it will mostly work like it currently does, reverting to standard text field if date popup isn't installed.

I was thinking about this when we included date_popup support, but I forgot about it. ;-)

Thanks for the patch. I am going to test it later today (if I don't forget again)...
