#3560 closed Defect (fixed)

input/date and output/date are not compatible

Description

input/date with the datepicker - you end up with a string representation of the date. output/date expects a timestamp. This requires the saving action to convert the string to a timestamp before saving. Maybe display the string representation but submit the timestamp representation through a hidden field (sort of how tinymce works).

Also, the date views do not work with dates before Jan 1, 1970.

Might be worth mentioning that HTML5 type=date inputs only accept dates in YYYY-MM-DD format. This works for dates before 1970-01-01.

output/date I think should be able to accept any parsable string as well as a timestamp.
