Description

Some browsers have started to implement the input type "date" and are rendering nice native date pickers.

Here's a patch that uses Rails' date_field instead of text_field. To still support browsers which are not implementing date fields, the jQuery UI Datepickers are still rendered when date fields are not available.

This is especially useful on mobile devices where the jQuery UI Datepickers do not seem to work well, at least not in combination with #19097 it seems.

Here's a nice list of browsers that support this feature: http://caniuse.com/#feat=input-datetime and here's a screenshot of what it looks like on Chrome for OS X:

I have tried the patch with Chrome (Mac).

It looks neat but ignores 'Start calendars on' setting.

Yes, the same goes for the language. Since it's a browser widget, it follows the settings defined in the Operating System, not in Redmine. The HTML5 tag does not support supplying a "start calendar on" setting. So this is a limitation we would have to live with.

Redmine's "Start calendars on" setting is still useful for e.g. the Calendar view in projects, so we should keep it in any case.

Target version set to 3.3.0

I slightly modified Jan's patch for the latest trunk(r15361).

Although it ignores 'Start calendars on' setting, I think this is not a problem because it respects the settings defined in the operating system as Jan said.

Absolutely. Redmine supports responsive layouts since 3.2.0. I suggest including this feature in Redmine 3.3.0.

Sorry, if this a stupid question - but, if we apply this patch, will we be able to use the "time" functionality that's mentioned in #5458? It seems that we need to use JQuery input for #5458 but this patch will give preference to native pickers. Thanks for the help.

#5458 has not been committed to Redmine yet. There are native time pickers as well using <input type="time"> which can be used for #5458 if implemented.
