SUMMARY
The Date Range module implements a custom field which allows you to enter dates and periods as a text string with an arbitrary precision, e.g.:
1991 - a period, consisted of all days of year 1991;
2012.02 - all days of February 2012;
1917.10.25 - October 25, 1917 exactly;
1941-1945 - a period from the beginning of 1941 till the end of 1945;
1234.05.06-7890 - a period from May 06, 1234 till the end of year 7890.
A general pattern for field input is: YYYY[.MM[.DD]][-YYYY[.MM[.DD]]].
The module also implements a custom filter for Views which allows you to select nodes which are before, after, inclide, exclude or exactly equal to the specified period.
